I have colleagues in Silver Spring (NOAA HQ) who, let's just say "witnessed" Elon's team at facility and overheard them at various times. Apparently there was a conversation with "giggles" about plans to cancel non-SpaceX launch contracts thru NASA citing "inefficiency". That's pretty wild stuff. - ThreadSky

have them contact Rep. Mark Pocan for his ELON MUSK Act.

drosera154.bsky.social•118 days ago

convince them to officially come forward anonymously via any of the existing channels. otherwise, it’s just hearsay.

genxjennifer.bsky.social•118 days ago

Hope they recorded audio. That’s very obnoxious self-dealing.

vickiecarey.bsky.social•119 days ago

It's more illegal stuff.

Wild yes, totally believe as well.

That is BullSHIT!!!! The NASA-NOAA collaboration has been going on for years and is highly effective.

Y'all need to bug the offices, catch these little cunts on recordings, and leak the ever loving shit out of it.

tlhmi.bsky.social•118 days ago

Best idea so far. Where do we send the tiny cameras?

sfurbanist.bsky.social•118 days ago

Nannycam the heck out of important spaces. Then just take the cam home, for now

We could forever be in the debt of a '5 eyes' or NATO or ASEAN country if they would consider a little stateside wet work.

Eliminate the competition is what they are doing!

deezmemes.bsky.social•118 days ago

SPB was optimistic about no funny business as based on chatter among DOGE folks it seems the other launch contractors such as Blue Origin or Rocket Lab won't be having much govt business during the Musk/Trump Administration.

bonniebluesav.bsky.social•118 days ago

You’d think the other billionaires would get into this fight for the sake of protecting their own interests.

marcuswrath.bsky.social•119 days ago

Curious why “witnessed” was in quotes. I work at SSMC and all credible reports here on site are that no DOGE people were on site. They worked through OCIO to remotely gain access to DEIA websites.

I hope they contact their state AG offices for assistance. Federal orgs cannot be trusted at this point. It's gonna have to be states & private entities that carry the ball.

sunbeamenthusiast.bsky.social•118 days ago

The good news is these assholes are self-indulgent idiots who have no idea how much wrath they are incoming from people vastly smarter than them. Sand in the gears friends, may we each be a grain of sand in their gears. And, a sincere thank you and enormous respect to y'all at NOAA and all Feds 🫡🥄

Amazing that they are so arrogant that they say this shit out in public.

b-korb.bsky.social•118 days ago

It's just part of bringing the corruption out into the open.
"Transparency in government."

smashit.bsky.social•119 days ago

We really truly need a military intervention now. NOW.

lindaslk.bsky.social•119 days ago

Trump controls the military.

clarkindeir.bsky.social•118 days ago

Does he???

dunkirkny.bsky.social•119 days ago

They want you to think like that.

lindaslk.bsky.social•118 days ago

Trump heads the Executive branch. The military's part of the Executive branch that he heads. (DoD's not part of the Legislative branch; neither is it part of the Judicial branch. And DoD also is not an independent 4th branch of government.)

dunkirkny.bsky.social•118 days ago

The U.S. military oath is a commitment to support and defend the Constitution, obey orders, and serve faithfully.

smashit.bsky.social•119 days ago

That's not actually how it works. He controls some, but ALL swore an oath to the Constitution not to him. They are authorized and expected to disobey illegal orders, too.

hotbutteredferret.bsky.social•119 days ago

With Hegseth as the SecDef, I wouldn’t count on the military helping, even if a lot of troops may want to.

lindaslk.bsky.social•119 days ago

Yes. But can't bank on it. He can be expected to fire anyone down the line who "disobeys" him. Rolling Saturday Night Massacres throughout many agencies/departments. States — state AGs — are the best defense IMO.

smashit.bsky.social•119 days ago

Oh I agree it's going to be a nasty split between actual patriots and those bending the knee to this traitor. And that state AGs are crucial. But many members of the military will also need to do their sworn duty, as do we in the civil service. And his orders to fire people are so far mostly illegal

altnoaa.bsky.social•119 days ago

There's a slight correction. Enlisted oath includes a line to obey POTUS. Officer oath does not. However, there is a chain of command and enlisted orders come from officers.

islandnana64.bsky.social•119 days ago

In other words… If they remove the top officers who are loyal to the constitution and replace them with Trump loyalists, then the lower enlisted must obey the new officers.

craigstaley.bsky.social•118 days ago

You absolutely have a duty to disobey an unlawful order. But you will possibly get court-martialed.

altnoaa.bsky.social•118 days ago

The military was designed to withstand this kind of thing. Where are they going to move a Lt. General to? The mailroom? I don't think so.

urielesk.bsky.social•118 days ago

They "must" do not such thing. The conscientious objector has a duty to be exactly who they are.

peripatetic1.bsky.social•118 days ago

There's the line referencing POTUS, but it comes after the line referencing the Constitution, no? To me that'd indicate that their duty is first to support and defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic.

Not that it'd prevent a court martial.

smashit.bsky.social•119 days ago

Yes good clarification thank you.

iustitia100.bsky.social•118 days ago

Maryland has strict laws on recoding people. If anyone plans to do it, they need to know the risks. The Repubs will absolutely go after the person legally. I've seen it, in this blue state.

sfurbanist.bsky.social•118 days ago

Hang a sign above the elevator doors - entering assumes agreement and acceptance. A EULA.

No mercy.

They never showed any.

tireddemvoter2024.bsky.social•119 days ago

We’ve got tech bros whose yet not fully matured pre-frontal cortex (the part of the brain that’s responsible for making decisions) handling our sensitive data. What could go wrong! 😑

lindaslk.bsky.social•119 days ago

There's a REASON why car insurance companies charge high fees to insure boys under 25. Prefrontal cortex, upon which judgment is dependent, is not yet mature.

sfurbanist.bsky.social•118 days ago

And with these pampered renegades, likely never will be.
Maturity comes through dealing with real life challenges.

It's been musks intention to dismantle NASA entirely and transfer all assets and funding to his SpaceX company.
I remember him saying he wanted to take over NASA, that he could do it better, years ago

sfurbanist.bsky.social•118 days ago

The best argument to NOT privatize any department is now just to say "what if they have an Elon"

kirstenkap.bsky.social•118 days ago

I don’t think NASA explodes all over the place. I know nothing about the space program but even I know that it is excellent.

susanbellair.bsky.social•119 days ago

The majority of what NASA does has no ROI and no commercial company wants to do it. Developing technology for future satellites and robotic missions is pure R&D. Exploring Europa, the misfortunate mars Sample Return, keeping Voyagers going - not a good way to monetize science.

sfurbanist.bsky.social•118 days ago

I'd ask your colleague to document that overheard conversation formally - date/time stamp it and add any documents that identify who the individuals were. Send it out externally, maybe even a printed hardcopy

sfurbanist.bsky.social•118 days ago

How does Boeing feel about that...? Especially the giggling bit.

All these govt employees overhearing a witnessing really need to up their game. Turn the heat up to a million. Misplace their computers. Accidentally discharge your pepperspray in the next room. Put desks against the conference room doors. They know that building better than the teenage coders.
