Should have asked Musk if he was a liar or an idiot? It’s at least one of them, possibly both.

He most definitely is.

hostilepatriot.bsky.social•12 days ago

That’s by design. They can’t control us without leveraging our livelihoods in every possible way.

wutthewut.bsky.social•12 days ago

NASA has cut support to Black STEM grade school students in Cleveland, Ohio citing the administration’s DEI policy. What does this administration have against science, education, and the advancement of our youth?

laxmom1957.bsky.social•12 days ago

Is that the actual notice that was sent? It’s sophomoric in text & format. It’s not dated, or signed by an individual. “NO SUBJECT”? And short deadline (like everything else this administration is doing). And their reason for cutting off funds is due to Trump’s DEI EO’s? Obscene.

wutthewut.bsky.social•12 days ago

It looks like an email that was sent to the instructor, and event chair for the event was for last Saturday.

ellysdad.bsky.social•12 days ago

If it doesn’t benefit them, they don’t care.

wutthewut.bsky.social•12 days ago

They don’t.

danaland.bsky.social•12 days ago

Does he seriously not understand where science research funding comes from?!? This is like a layperson deciding to take up amputation as a hobby. How hard can it be, right? JFC.

peggys.bsky.social•12 days ago

He doesn’t care

pottymouthpup.bsky.social•12 days ago

did he throttle your post after this?

marmeemoll.bsky.social•12 days ago

🙏 thank you.

e-quinn.bsky.social•12 days ago

He’s not the sharpest tool in the box, is he?

mister-lumpy.bsky.social•12 days ago

Is he searching “richest guy in the world” to track his mentions?

bluemeade7.bsky.social•12 days ago

Everyone knows he's a liar. 🤷

cmac79.bsky.social•12 days ago

Bastards!

topmom100.bsky.social•12 days ago

Molly, He is an ignoramus.

trash210.bsky.social•12 days ago

The fact that he has no idea what he’s cutting may be of concern.

libertyandlife.bsky.social•12 days ago

YES!! Especially where it will impact the economies of these states & critical research. I can't even imagine making and executing a decision "at work" and having no understanding of what I was doing. In the private sector - I would have been fired. That should work for the gov't also. FIRE MUSK.

huck-sawyer.bsky.social•12 days ago

He really only wants to kill Beau Biden again, but since he can’t, everyone else will do.

Cancer was Biden’s ‘moonshot’ for a cure. You can kiss off cancer research, period.

thisuserisdumb.bsky.social•12 days ago

I agree!
Cutting the NIH funding=cutting cancer research

teebonez.bsky.social•12 days ago

Cancer research now falls into the same category as woke, DEI and empathy. All things that have been pushed aside in our names. #lunatics

winterleescriven.bsky.social•12 days ago

He’s a real, real, rreeeeeeeal piece of shit.

djsubterrain.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'm guessing he never came back after that cos he was on to the next thing, trying to re-inflate his undeserved ego.

jayvarsity.bsky.social•12 days ago

His team of Nazis didn’t inform him

okguy.bsky.social•12 days ago

Elon Musk is a soulless empty shell. His whole existence is to inflict pain on those who cannot defend themselves. This is what it looks like when you raise a child in a system that preys on a segment of the population where their fortunes were contingent on their suffering. The culmination of hate.

harmonyhill.bsky.social•12 days ago

Wait until one them gets cancer and they're desperate for a cure, a clinical trial, anything.
Cutting off their nose to spite their face.
My mom died of PanCan.
Dad Brain Cancer.
This is so cruel to cut cancer research.

this is what happens when you have too much money and no humanity or soul.

philbooz.bsky.social•12 days ago

taxpayer dollars from blue states need to stop going to red states like Alabama. Let their economies go bankrupt. It's the only way they'll learn

boncratious.bsky.social•12 days ago

... unfortunately with this vindictive, petty, wildly politiized Administration the wealth transfer from blue states to red states will only increase.

nsparks.bsky.social•12 days ago

Boycott chitlins.

rebeccanies.bsky.social•12 days ago

No response to the facts?

rgdub.bsky.social•12 days ago

Musk not understanding what he is doing.

Go figure....

sasaview.bsky.social•12 days ago

They will never have an understanding of what we go through on a daily basis. For them research, science and medicine is not so important until one of their loved ones has cancer it'll be a different story! Let's see who will help their loved ones during their time of need and it's not available!

sassymaster.bsky.social•12 days ago

He’s incompetent

His baffle with bullshit isn’t working so well anymore.

darthfos.bsky.social•12 days ago

He is so hypermanic that he doesn’t even know what he is breaking… just that he gets to break it.

Elmo lies straight up

He believes with "freedom of speech" lying is a legit ploy

larry1963.bsky.social•12 days ago

He has no clue; he's just having his gullible intern hackers install back doors everywhere.

mkinva.bsky.social•12 days ago

I’ll also just leave this here

foxinthemorning57.bsky.social•12 days ago

So if it can be treated/removed in the background and early clonal stages that's when the best potential outcomes are, is that right?
#ScreeningsSaveLives

mkinva.bsky.social•12 days ago

He is an utter moron. I said it on Twitter/X and got kicked off. I said it on Threads and was warned to watch my language. I’m saying it here and hopefully it stays up. He’s a moron and Molly just proved it.

ambridgeponyclub.bsky.social•12 days ago

Hope pancreatic cancer is lurking ready to get him eejit doesn’t seem to realize they won’t be able to magic up a cure for rich folks if the research not done.

mkinva.bsky.social•12 days ago

Exactly. They seem to have no concept how modern medicine is practiced.

paintsewgluechew.bsky.social•12 days ago

Shout it from the rooftops here. There are no lies in what you say!

yesmum.bsky.social•12 days ago

Literal madness
All the chaos in how he operates is tied to simplistic ideological mindsets. He doesn’t know how else to function.

lunaparrot.bsky.social•12 days ago

didnt NIH fund the research that resulted in Covid? Where they take viruses that can't infect humans and make them able to infect humans? I'm not a scientist but is sounds dangerous, maybe lucky covid wasn't worse, even though millions still died all over the world

etche.bsky.social•12 days ago

No on "resulting in COVID", but it did fund the original research that led to developing successful treatments such as Paxlovid. One of many examples that all taxpayers have access to in the National Library of Medicine (check the date): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17605471/

You ratio'd his ass

4thof6.bsky.social•12 days ago

musk doesn't even know what he's doing

this is not how a proper audit is handled

he's not serious about efficiency

he is serious about having no checks on his power and money

laxmom1957.bsky.social•12 days ago

I so agree - in my career involved in company buy-outs, mergers, etc. We spent time understanding how their systems worked, talked to personnel, reviewed their business relationships/ obligations, etc. BEFORE making any moves. Some people let go relatively soon, some asked for additional time 1.

laxmom1957.bsky.social•12 days ago

Some people asked for more time, as needed to get new job (family to support)… We tried to be as humane as possible, protect their dignity. There were always Key people that wanted to retain for skill set AND experience. What Musk & Trump are doing is insane. Do your reviews, ask for input … 2.

laxmom1957.bsky.social•12 days ago

A high IQ is by far not necessarily the only thing to place value in. To think you know better than people who have been doing a job for years, such hubris. Experience, knowledge, common sense, people skills (DOGE seems to lacking given their cruel approach) and decency (DOGE again lacking).3.

laxmom1957.bsky.social•12 days ago

Bulk firings of people who have served for years, threatening lay-offs and sudden demands are only going to create chaos. I’m not against reviews, changes, it’s how they are going about it. And from posts I’ve read no one seems to know how our gov. runs, laws, our Constitution, Balance of Power…

clivingsbkk.bsky.social•12 days ago

"If-then" logic is not Elon's strong point.

ravenna321.bsky.social•12 days ago

Don't MAGA folks get cancer too?

nobodyspecial3.bsky.social•12 days ago

Not often or severe enough.

agirlhasnopotus.bsky.social•12 days ago

Ignorant, arrogant bully chainsawing our government and holding our money/data hostage.

vl-248.bsky.social•12 days ago

I WAS JUST DIAGNOSED WITH METASTATIC BREAST CANCER. I have learned there are many new meds not as toxic as Chemo & Radiation. I'm on Kisqali & Letrozole and feeling great. This combo of Cancer Meds was only approved by FDA to use together last year. I just got in under the wire!

islandgardener.bsky.social•12 days ago

Their moving at such breakneck speed I’m not convinced they are even bothering to determine what they are actually cutting. He may legitimately not know they slashed cancer research finding because they never looked.

audiomagnate.bsky.social•12 days ago

Here's my scary theory. Trump knows he's not long for this world - he may even be hiding a terminal illness - and he wants to take the rest of the world with him. Nothing else makes sense to me when you look at his cabinet picks and his executive orders.

kc-e.bsky.social•12 days ago

He certainly doesn’t look healthy. Was listening to some attempt at a speech he making and he sounded like he was on his last leg and about to pass out.

reddancer.bsky.social•12 days ago

And they don't care.

petuniatoes.bsky.social•12 days ago

Why do all the wrong people get cancer? And all the monsters go scott free?

funkdr.bsky.social•11 days ago

Found this gem.. now Senate Majority Leader Thune in 2007 championing NIH cancer research initiatives and encouraging citizens to “become active and committed to fighting for a cure”.

Let’s remind him: (202)224-2321

tomrg.bsky.social•12 days ago

Oh, Molly, he was cutting research into woke cancer. They are still going to research the cancer that real Americans get.
Elon knows what he’s doing, he heard it on a double speed podcast he listened to while on a drug fuelled 23h work binge.
Just like his hero Hitler would have done.

dcinmd.bsky.social•12 days ago

He is such an ignoramus. Utterly clueless.

captainmcwow.bsky.social•12 days ago

He’s such a pathological liar

binamig.bsky.social•12 days ago

I'm starting to think he might not be lying.

It's becoming more and more clear every day that he may very well be just that stupid.

Imagine that. MORE stupid than maga. Is that even possible?

deyjavue.bsky.social•12 days ago

He's the mirror image of Felonious McRapey. They're both narcissists, sociopaths & amoral

marbellaswenson.bsky.social•12 days ago

YEP! Here's a WAY BACK promise from 2019:

At a rally at U.S Bank Arena: "The things we're doing in our country today, there's never been anything like it. We will be ending the AIDS epidemic shortly in America, and curing childhood cancer very shortly."

Apparently, he will not help do either!

me-shell.bsky.social•12 days ago

That's why they wanted a bipartisan group working on cuts because he seems to have no clue what they are doing
