This guy also was supposed to have his Tweets pre-approved but somehow they let him buy Twitter. Make it make sense.
Last year Elon Musk and SpaceX claimed the NLRB is unconstitutional after being accused of labor violations.
Now under Trump, the NLRB is dropping its opposition to this claim.
The labor board will no longer fight in court against the charges that it shouldn't exist.

Just 19 …
The 19 richest Americans, led by Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, have almost as much wealth as the poorer half of the country.
The bottom 50% of household own just 2.4% of U.S. wealth.
While the richest 19 individuals alone have 2.1%.

Y’all should consider the stress fed employees are under rn … and trying to work?!?
If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

I accepted this offer, and I wish folks wouldn’t call it a buyout. It’s clearly an off-ramp. Legal? The executive branch through OPM made me an offer of deferred resignation and I accepted it. I refuse to RTO on principle - it’s a pay cut for commuters. (🧵 1/2)

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Yeah we hate all mothers here in the US but we hate immigrant mothers most of all. Gross.
They deported her for missing her immigration hearing...which she notified the court she needed to reschedule, because at the time of her hearing, SHE WAS LITERALLY BIRTHING US CITIZENS.
Violent, shameful, utterly disgusting.

My church kept ICE from deporting our neighbor Jose. The Bible told us so.
President-elect Donald Trump has plans to end a policy that generally restricts ICE from arresting undocumented people at or near so-called sensitive locations.
