Summary
Elon Musk clashed with Trump’s cabinet in a heated White House meeting over Doge’s aggressive cost-cutting.
Transport Secretary Sean Duffy was enraged by Musk’s attempts to cut air traffic controllers despite a national shortage, accusing him of unjustified layoffs. Duffy presented a spreadsheet showing Musk was not telling the truth, prompting Trump to order MIT graduates be hired instead.
Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins criticized hospital cuts, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio also confronted Musk.
Trump backed his cabinet, emphasizing a “scalpel rather than hatchet” approach to staffing reductions.
This is the dumbest timeline.
“My expertise is mostly in sorting algorithms. I don’t see how–”
“Shut up, nerd! Get in the tower and make the planes stay in the air”
I think I’d rather have actual idiocracy, because at least the president wanted to do well
We’re in a prequel right now
I wouldn’t be surprised if the only water Trump drinks came from a toilet, tho.
Trump definitely voted Ass for best cinematography and audio production.
In reality, there are all sorts of unique requirements to be an air traffic controller, but I don’t think “college degree” is one of them.
Yeah I had really fucking hard scoff at that tidbit
