Civil servants with decades of experience now have to literally justify their work to a 19 year old Musk intern.
Sweden has worst mass shooting in their history. Leaders all over Europe and beyond express condolences. Musk spreads lies. First that shooter was immigrant. He was a Swede. Second that media ignored story because they want to cover up immigrant crime. It was headline throughout Europe and in New York Times. Reality immigrants were target. The shooting was at adult education facility that taught Swedish to new immigrants.
A 23 year old Musk intern with no experience, no background check and no security clearance has been given access by new Secretary of Energy to nuclear weapons codes over objections of employees and department general counsel. What could possibly go wrong? https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/06/climate/doge-energy-department-trump/index.html Trumpers, did you vote for this?
Musk doesn't have to think we're all stupid. He just needs to know that the people who support Trump are stupid and easy to take advantage of. That's a huge market.
According to that article the system they have access too doesn't contain those codes, but who knows.
Musk employee who resigned yesterday after Wall Street Journal exposed his racist posts is back on the job today with explicit support of Vance. This is the person who said he wants more hate directed against Indian Americans. Like Vance's wife.
