paulta.bsky.social•4 days ago

How the hell, in a so called democracy, does Musk get such a powerful position without anybody voting for him ?

baronnessmargy.bsky.social•4 days ago

Enough to make you question the effectiveness of democracy as a form of government, at least in its present form, where a convicted fellon can win the Presidency of the most powerful country on Planet Earth, eh?

franparry.bsky.social•4 days ago

Understandable. It's only a highly contagious, agonising, and usually deadly, disease.

westy44.bsky.social•3 days ago

Why wasn’t he fired for this? Surely someone that incompetent shouldn’t be allowed to run a business or government department

waxmanncfc.bsky.social•4 days ago

How mad does the governance of America have to get before Americans decide that their government is too mad to govern?

firehorsep.bsky.social•4 days ago

Maybe they should do it properly then. You know, do some checks and stuff. It's not about that, it's about chaos.

This "thing" is unelected!!! Wake up!!!

blueandy2525.bsky.social•4 days ago

No wonder his cars are so rubbish.

aozora-aonami.bsky.social•4 days ago

And now he's awarded himself a contract to supply a new air traffic control system. Did you see him today joining that planes should fly in straight lines, seemingly without any understanding of the curvature of the earth??

aozora-aonami.bsky.social•4 days ago

Opining

belgrave.bsky.social•3 days ago

Isn't it odd that no-one in the Cabinet Room bats an eyelid when he announces this "mistake".

Why didn't Trump point and shout "you're fired!"?

johngage1.bsky.social•3 days ago

A mistake is accidentally ordering a steak medium rare instead of medium well. I daresay cancelling a USAID prevention program of a virus with a 90% fatality rate sounds like criminal negligence.

sjbof.uk•4 days ago

Why aren’t they all wearing uniform caps to the meeting? Didn’t they get the memo?

Elon musk the most incompetent person in the world !!

abilityrules.bsky.social•4 days ago

What is the standard of care for the Cabinet? Musk's free pass isn't Trump's pardon power. Trump, his Cabinet and Congress ratify his actions with their silence. They need to be asked every day by media and constituents, why do you approve these actions?

mrmigraine.bsky.social•4 days ago

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DO THAT BY ACCIDENT?

blayneydeborah.bsky.social•4 days ago

So one of the things Musk did last week was a huge mistake?
Ebola kills faster and has a much higher mortality rate than Covid?
Is his resignation required? Surely this is worse than not replying to an email?
If this was The Apprentice he'd be fired?

ridingmiles.bsky.social•3 days ago

Whooops🙄.

What a fucking idiot.

antboniobs.bsky.social•3 days ago

He would be fired for that kind of mistake in any job.

nonnsworld.bsky.social•3 days ago

How can you accidentally cancel Ebola prevention? I mean the clue is in the name of the programme! Or maybe these tech wunderkind simply can’t read.

kingstondan.bsky.social•4 days ago

He has rapidly become one of the worst people in human history. A nasty, bitter little man hoarding enough health to feed millions, casually causing death and misery across the world. Every molecule of oxygen this guy breathes is an utter waste.

jennycooper.bsky.social•4 days ago

It looks like a meeting of a Parish Council.

jamie1972.bsky.social•4 days ago

I once cancelled an Ebola prevention program as I was too focussed on stealing data.

mortgageman.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm surprised he didn't take his son to the cabinet meeting

samkara.bsky.social•3 days ago

I have never seen a cabinet meeting where someone is standing talking down on the others not even the president did that. Then again it's like a selection of big brother rejects in there so why not

jolk.bsky.social•4 days ago

Fired nuclear staff and cut aid to preventing ebola - sounds like the work of a true genius. Respect Elon. What's under that hat I wonder?

londoner007.bsky.social•4 days ago

No, it's an odd fit all the same...

Of course mistakes were made! That's what happens when a bunch of unqualified people hack through agencies with a dull machete with their eyes closed.

So he admits, he doesn't know what he is doing. And with whom does the buck stop?

amandamanley.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not at all embarrassed to say that they ‘accidentally’ cancelled protection from a deadly disease 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️😠

wellowdriver.bsky.social•4 days ago

Cut the guy some slack, he’s just trying to do a job.

It’s not like he’s the richest person in the world with access to all the resources of the most powerful country in the world….

…wait a minute

lislou.bsky.social•4 days ago

Utter pillock. Take the scissors off him.

simonhenning.bsky.social•3 days ago

That wasn’t very efficient. Someone should look into IT and conduct mass random sackings in DOGE

richard-breakfast.bsky.social•4 days ago

He’s right, lots of Americans make mistakes. Lots of them made a fucking big mistake last November.

norrskennn.bsky.social•4 days ago

accidentally

Now I understand why they never show the prologue of zombie movies. It would be too much of a cliche that the richest guy in the world fired all the epidemiologists.

nadsxxx77.bsky.social•4 days ago

His chuckle when talking about accidentally cancelling ebola prevention. What a child he is. But why doesn't he explain why US tax payers should pay for ebola prevention in other countries. Surely the same logic will apply to most of the funding USAID provide.

The perfect example of someone too arrogant to realise he’s actually quite thick. Sadly, that arrogance impresses other thick people.

aozora-aonami.bsky.social•4 days ago

Dunning Kruger, just like Trump. Although you can sometimes see the doubt flicker across Trump's face, but not Musk's.

andrewcrompton.bsky.social•4 days ago

Trump knows, deep down, that he’s nothing more than vulgar trailer trash. It’s why he’s so bitter, such a bully, so driven to dominate and so obsessed by anything gold; just a sad little man desperate to be important.

maxwellshabbsby.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm sure that at most peoples place of work if you kept making mistakes then you'd probably find yourself removed from a position where whose could cause any issues. Ultimately you'd be looking to work elsewhere.

Elon Musk, who calls millions of US federal workers "incompetent", says he "accidentally cancelled" Ebola prevention.

tammori.bsky.social•2 days ago

Musk and his doges made several mistakes like this.

nannychicken.bsky.social•4 days ago

I guess all the cabinet just laughed and said “oh never mind mistakes can happen even to Elon”

“Side effect”

mgreenaw.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is just the stuff he's owning up to.

mgreenaw.bsky.social•4 days ago

Presumably because he thinks it's a funny anecdote. I'm guessing he's not quite so "ho ho ho, what are we like, eh?" about the nuclear security people.
