Trump's administration accidentally fires 300 people from a department handling the US nuclear weapons, then tries to walk back the decision.

This is lethal amateurism, and it will end up getting Americans killed.

@randahl DOE management has been really screwed up for many years now.

From the article, it's not clear this is really about the administration. It sounds like the existing Department management might have dropped the ball yet again.

It's one of the departments in serious need of reform.

@volkris @randahl i don't know anything about DOE but have worked on a couple of government contracts with other super dysfunctional agencies. I'm actually in favor of reducing waste in government but that's not what DOGE is doing. I really think Elon is just trying to enrich himself.

@Jennifer meh, I don't really think he is trying to enrich himself because he has plenty, and he could probably be spending his time elsewhere to make more money if he really wanted it.

No I think he's just found a next level opportunity to troll, so he's having a hecking good time getting attention in this position, while it lasts.

@randahl

@joel_falcou @volkris @randahl he is trying to help Trump cut $2T from the budget so he and his billionaire buddies can get a huge tax cut. That's all this is about. He wants to be the world's first trillionaire. Everyone with that much money always wants more.
