"Corrupt official claims legal action against anyone interfering with illegal action being performed by a government that has zero respect for its own laws, run by a criminal that should be imprisoned or hanged, based on said laws that aren't respected."

Man, we are a trash country right now and this is just another stupid distraction attempt. "America's Golden Shower Age."

It's not an efficiency effort. Those words need scare quotes. It's a Nazi coup.

What legal risk? Musk is unelected and his office is a fairy tale with no legal authority or protection.

Well it does appear that everyone who has vaguely pushed back has been fired.

I’m unclear whether musk himself is issuing the terminations, or if it’s coming from trump.

If it’s coming from musk, I’d tell him to pound sand and just keep working as best as I can until I’m officially fired.
