1. Unnamed "sources" told Reuters? Any cuts made to the FDA only slows down approval. So how does that help Musk?
2. The Tesla concerns are also bullshit. Nothing Tesla specific.

Sources told Reuters on Tuesday that last weekend, DOGE oversaw the firing of Food and Drug Administration employees reviewing Neuralink, Musk’s brain implant company. The cuts were reportedly made to a department that oversees clinical trial applications from Neuralink and other brain-computer interface devices.
The Washington Post also reported Thursday that DOGE made cuts to a specialized unit with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration focused on overseeing the safety of autonomous vehicles like those made at Tesla. The fired employees include an engineer who worked with crash test dummies and a research psychologist who specializes in drunken driving and speeding.

Liar!

Elon Musk's DOGE is going after the agencies that regulate his companies

Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has started slashing big chunks of the agencies that regulate at least two of his companies, Tesla (TSLA) and Neuralink.

The local MAGAts will have no problem with this, of course.

Liar!

1. DOGE, aka Musk, does not fire anyone, they make recommendations, and Trump fires them or not based on justification
2. Reducing the headcount in those agencies only slows down the review and approval process. There is no advantage to Musk or his companies.
3. Since Musk has no authority there is no conflict of interest.

We can only hope.

I was reading that the US Marshals Service has deputized Musk's securty detail.

Apparently concerns have grown regarding his safety because of the cuts to federal programs.

 

[pknopp]

We can only hope.

The vast majority of cases have went against him.

Musk isnt firing anyone. Trump is. I dont fucking care. I dont care if he gets a leg up because of this. If anything, it might reverse a little of the damage that democrats did to him with lawfare. We should be handing him a billions dollars just simply for the crimes of the Biden admin against him.

They haven't reached SC(r)OTUS yet.

WRONG AGAIN

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday for now prevented President Donald Trump from firing the head of a watchdog agency in the first legal showdown to reach the justices over the administration’s efforts to dramatically remake the federal government.

In an unusual, tentative move, the court neither granted nor denied an emergency request filed by the Trump administration after lower courts had blocked the effort to fire Hampton Dellinger, who heads the Office of Special Counsel.

Yeah, and? Trump wanted the court to rule he could fire him. Instead the court ruled that the process needed to play out.

Trump didn't get what he wanted no matter how you spin it.
