The federal agency responsible for traffic safety, which has been investigating self-driving technology in Tesla vehicles, will fire a “modest” number of employees, an agency spokesman said Friday.

I can't say I was to thrilled about self driving on a Tesla when I had the free offer. I'd like to see some tests run of who has less accidents, self driving vs a drunk driver?
Defund and divest Musk of all conflicts of interest. Get him out of our data. Become active in your community orgs and run for office. Don’t wait for someone to save us. We’re the heroes we’re waiting for. God bless @democrats.org

Hey Maggots!...If any of you Uneducated, Low Wage Earners can afford to buy an Unsafe Tesla, you should "Just Do It!"... Your life could be in jeopardy, but what the heck? ...You'll be supporting your Millionaire/Billionaire Idols -- Trump & Musk!...Isn't Love wonderful?!
This is the plan. Fire everyone and close every agency that can hold them to account. Then with no checks and balances, power without limits. Be loud and say no!
The only Americans that are buying this bullsh!t are Leftwing, Democrat, Communist, NUTBAGS! You people, if we can call ALL OF YOU NUTBAGS people, are ALL LUNATICS! The MAJORITY of us out here in "The Real World" are seriously questioning the sanity of less than half the country and for good reason.
Claiming you're not a republican while acting exactly like one isn't fooling anybody. You're just embarrassed that you voted for a cuck owned by Elon Musk. Or maybe the mental illness has you proud of that like so many other trump voters. Most of you MAGAts are too far gone for reason at this point.
Will someone in NYC please go and get Violet? A jerk adopted her then brought this poor thing back 4mths later! She’s really sad over it! Look at this precious little thing! Go and get her from NYC shelter! 👇
All a part of this Musk plan…. The South African is running circles around Trump and this sorry administration…..
Stop him now!
He is not an American patriot, he hates America and its people!
Stop him now!
Musk already gets $8mil a day. It will go up. He's attacking those who are supposed to oversee. #LtPresidentTrump runs distractions like the "Gulf of..."
He’s making back his investment into trump. And this is why he did so. Under the guise of cost savings he’s gutting the agencies investigating him and his business.
They have mentioned it, but report it like it's just a happy little accident and not an evil un-American plot carried out by an unelected, unvetted, foreign-born criminal.
Heck, no conflict of interest there! Musk wants a free for all for himself and all his companies as he has fired everyone that has sued him. There will be much damage to people and to the environment.
Regulators investigate Tesla’s self-driving crashes—then suddenly, layoffs hit the agency. Coincidence? Or just another case of billionaires bending the system to dodge accountability? The rich play, the public pays. #RegulatoryCapture #Tesla #Musk
Trump & Musk: A billionaire bro club where accountability is optional. NHTSA probes Tesla’s self-driving crashes, and suddenly, officials are fired? Regulatory capture at its finest. The rich play, the public pays. #Corruption #Tesla #Musk #Trump
Hey NYT, why don't you stop "reporting" like you're accepting DT's nonsense? For example, framing firing extremely qualified black people as "rooting out DEI hires" instead of "firing highly accomplished XYZ to replace with less credentialed loyalists"
1) Reach into your pockets and pull out your paper money.
2) With a ball-point pen or fine marker, write #ResistTrump in small type on one margin on that bill.
3) Spend it.
4) No, you're not defacing the bill as the mark was not made to alter or change the bill.
Somebody's trying to hide something that they know is wrong. Doesn't matter,if the vehicles malfunction and cause fatalities, the victims' families will file a class action lawsuit and Musk will be bankrupt when they're done
There was a time when this type of thing would have led to hearings, trials, and jail sentences for the perpetrators. The days of even the appearance of ethics and honesty are done. The US falls further and further and keeps falling.
NYT isn't keeping up with the reporting it SHOULD be doing Far too soft on PRO-PUTIN Trump & the dangers he poses globally & to the US. This WaPo news should be on your front page! Our gov't is overrun by criminals & thugs who think they're above the laws. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/02/22/social-security-trump-doge-musk/
The conflicts of interest are just absolutely crazy. But I mean, firing TRAFFIC SAFETY personnel? Maybe just make safer and better cars? They continue to show how truly lazy and dumb authoritarians really are and how little they give a shit about absolutely anyone but themselves.
