I just hope one day he fires himself somehow. I think it is an event with probability higher than zero 🤞

Amateur hour.

Musk isn't merely stupid. The recklessness and mistakes are very intentional.

The U.S. is under attack from a Nazi/Apartheid/Far-Right sympathizer who is trying to cripple the government, no matter the consequences. He knows that no matter how bad things get, his money will protect him.

Wouldn't be the first time.

Remember Rick Perry, Trump's first Energy Secretary?

Was going to say, we had this EXACT conversation not too long ago.

This makes me think of the movie "Idiocracy". I need to stop reading the news today. GN.

You can't make an omelette without cracking a few eggs.

Never let these freaks convince you they’re smart or qualified. You can’t treat the federal government like Twitter, which (incidentally) got exponentially worse after they fired everyone lmao

It’s written on the tin - National Nuclear Security Administration

This story reveals more clearly than anything else that Musk is a clear and present danger to the future of the USA, since not all of these vital workers might return: https://fortune.com/2025/02/14/doge-firings-nuclear-weapons-specialists-energy-department-layoffs-nnsa-elon-musk/
. This should be the lead story in every news organization for the next 6 months. It is that important.

Combine this with today's stupid decision to gut the CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service and you get a suddenly less secure United States.

I believe Canada should look at developing its own nuclear weapons to have an absolute deterrent to future American aggression. We must take control of our own future. Unstable America is not going away. This is probably a fifty year trend of instability we will be dealing with.

This would also be a strong non economic signal on the ramifications of US behavior.

bewear1984.bsky.social•7 days ago

An option is to have a covert program (Like Israel or North Korea)

Canada could secretly develop nuclear weapons while officially maintaining a peaceful stance.

bewear1984.bsky.social•7 days ago

This would require deception and violating IAEA inspections, which would likely be detected by intelligence agencies. But, would allow denial over the term of development, which would probably be on the order of 5 or more years.

This time could be shortened with the help of recently unemployed people experienced with nuclear weapons development and deployment.
