“$2 Trillion is a “best case outcome”

Wired’s been calling it

“Cool” Musk responds via Tweet at 7:32 PM

Sound issue, barely able to hear Adrian

Elon’s Jet (Jack Sweeney) speculated about neck/back surgery being done here, which seems likely, but I m also inclined to believe he was picking up John Fetterman

Likely with John Fetterman on board.

Whenever she posts something in this vein, Musk tends to lean in even harder to their son’s exploitation

Hopefully HP got the money up front

Musk is likley spending this Friday night hanging out with John Fetterman and Trump

https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1RDxlyaAqvNKL

My guess is with John Fetterman and his wife on board. (Fetteman in more ways than one)

“It was a totally fascinating meeting. He’s a fascinating man, and his wife is lovely. They were both up, and I couldn’t be more impressed,” Trump said of Fetterman and his wife Gisele after the hourlong meeting at Mar-a-Lago. Washington Times

5:32 PM – Musk loves him too.

… and this is why the timeline interests me so much… because Kimbal hit “send” on this tweet after lift-off but before explosion.

Mr. Musk arrives in Washington

In light of what was to come, there is a profound irony in knowing the FAA was on Trump’s mind out of the gate. Air safety was such a concern that he needed to act swiftly to (low-key) threaten the jobs of anyone not white, male, and able-bodied, but he didn’t think it was a priority to replace the FAA Commissioner that Elon Musk had wanted gone. Mike Whitaker had stepped down on 1/20 and was not replaced until the day after the mid-air collision over the Potomac.

Notably, the memo also references a NOTAM Outage that occurred on January 11, 2023, foreshadowing to a similar one that will happen on 2/1/25, which was the weekend Musk’s hacking team at DOGE first accessed government systems.

(The 2023 outage has its own Wikipedia page.)

FLIGHTS SHOULD BE SUPERVISED BY THE BEST EMPLOYEES: President Donald J. Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum terminating a Biden Administration Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) hiring policy that prioritized diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) over safety and efficiency.

• This Presidential Memorandum orders the Secretary of Transportation and FAA Administrator to immediately stop Biden DEI hiring programs and return to non-discriminatory, merit-based hiring.
• It also requires the FAA Administrator to review the past performance and performance standards of all FAA employees in critical safety positions and make clear that any individual who fails to demonstrate adequate capability is replaced by someone who will ensure Americans’ flight safety and efficiency.

MILLIONS OF AMERICANS RELY ON SAFE, TIMELY AIR TRAVEL EVERY DAY: Safety and competence should be the only job criteria for FAA employees, yet the Biden Administration violated the public trust—as well as the law—by prioritizing illegal DEI hiring.

• Every day, more than 45,000 flights and 2.9 million airline passengers traveling for work or fun or to visit friends and family entrust their lives to the FAA.
• Almost unbelievably, as a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiative, the Biden FAA specifically recruited and hired individuals with “severe intellectual” disabilities, psychiatric issues, and complete paralysis over other individuals who sought to work for the FAA.
• President Trump is immediately terminating this illegal and dangerous program and requiring that all FAA hiring be based solely on ensuring the safety of airline passengers and overall job excellence.
  • On January 11, 2023, two weeks after a major holiday airline crisis, an FAA system outage caused by employees missteps grounded all flights for the first time since 9/11, an illustration of the importance of FAA competence.

FULFILLING PROMISE TO END ILLEGAL DISCRIMINATION AND BRING BACK COMMON SENSE: This Presidential Memorandum builds on President Trump’s day-one Executive Order ending the Biden Administration’s illegal and immoral DEI discrimination programs.

• In his inaugural address, President Trump promised: ““We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based.”

President Trump stated in his January 20, 2025 Executive Order on Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing: “Americans deserve a government committed to serving every person with equal dignity and respect, and to expending precious taxpayer resources only on making America great.”

Musk was unable to conceive of a single thing Adrian was into other than him.

He tells the crowd that Germany needs to “move beyond” Nazi guilt.

The only specific exemptions are for the jackboots and those that deliver the mail. Deadline to accept – February 6

January 28, 2025

“During the first week of his administration, President Trump issued a number of directives concerning the federal workforce. Among those directives, the President required that employees return to in-person work, restored accountability for employees who have policy-making authority, restored accountability for senior career executives, and reformed the federal hiring process to focus on merit. As a result of the above orders, the reform of the federal workforce will be significant.

The reformed federal workforce will be built around four pillars:

1. Return to Office: The substantial majority of federal employees who have been working remotely since Covid will be required to return to their physical offices five days a week. Going forward, we also expect our physical offices to undergo meaningful consolidation and divestitures, potentially resulting in physical office relocations for a number of federal workers.
2. Performance culture: The federal workforce should be comprised of the best America has to offer. We will insist on excellence at every level — our performance standards will be updated to reward and promote those that exceed expectations and address in a fair and open way those who do not meet the high standards which the taxpayers of this country have a right to demand.
3. More streamlined and flexible workforce: While a few agencies and even branches of the military are likely to see increases in the size of their workforce, the majority of federal agencies are likely to be downsized through restructurings, realignments, and reductions in force. These actions are likely to include the use of furloughs and the reclassification to at-will status for a substantial number of federal employees.
4. Enhanced standards of conduct: The federal workforce should be comprised of employees who are reliable, loyal, trustworthy, and who strive for excellence in their daily work. Employees will be subject to enhanced standards of suitability and conduct as we move forward. Employees who engage in unlawful behavior or other misconduct will be prioritized for appropriate investigation and discipline, including termination.

Each of the pillars outlined above will be pursued in accordance with applicable law, consistent with your agency’s policies, and to the extent permitted under relevant collective-bargaining agreements.

If you choose to remain in your current position, we thank you for your renewed focus on serving the American people to the best of your abilities and look forward to working together as part of an improved federal workforce. At this time, we cannot give you full assurance regarding the certainty of your position or agency but should your position be eliminated you will be treated with dignity and will be afforded the protections in place for such positions.

If you choose not to continue in your current role in the federal workforce, we thank you for your service to your country and you will be provided with a dignified, fair departure from the federal government utilizing a deferred resignation program. This program began effective January 28 and is now closed. If you resign under this program, you will retain all pay and benefits regardless of your daily workload and will be exempted from all applicable in-person work requirements until September 30, 2025 (or earlier if you choose to accelerate your resignation for any reason). The details of this separation plan can be found below.

Whichever path you choose, we thank you for your service to The United States of America.

*********************************************************************

Upon review of the below deferred resignation letter, if you wish to resign:

1. Select “Reply” to this email. You must reply from your government account. A reply from an account other than your .gov or .mil account will not be accepted.

The crash occurred shortly before 9 PM. 67 people died, including 64 on the commercial airliner, and 3 in the helicopter.

While bodies were still being fished out of the river, Trump held a press conference to blame DEI, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama. “Because I have common sense.”

A medevac plane crashed soon after takeoff in Philadelphia on Friday with a child and five others on board, the air ambulance company that operated it said, adding that it had not confirmed any survivors.

Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, based in Mexico and licensed to operate in the U.S., said its aircraft crashed with four crew members, one pediatric medical patient and the patient’s mother on board.

Joni Ernst’s naivete is palpable and unfortunate.

Musk on USAID: “As we dug into USAID, it became apparent that what we have here is not an apple with a worm in it, but we have actually just a ball of worms. And so, at the point which — if you have an apple with a worm in it, you can take the worm out. But if you have actually just a ball of worms — it’s hopeless. And USAID is a ball of worms. There is no apple. And if there is no apple, you just have to basically get rid of the whole thing. That is why, its got to go.”

“No — “, it sounds like the Senator is prepared to defend some part of that “ball of worms”, but Elon and Vivek steamroll over her.

“It’s beyond repair,” Musk declares with authority. “Um. So. Yeah”

“Well,” Joni Ernst starts to say, but Vivek jumps in.

Vivek: “Well, there’s a solution to this, which is – let’s say something’s cut that the people of this country just demand needs to exist again.. it can always be voted back into existence by Senator Ernst and her colleagues…”

Elon: “100%. Totally”

Vivek: “And the fact that that isn’t going to happen –“

Elon: “Exactly”

Vivek: “.. reveals exactly why deletion is the only answer that’s left”

Elon: “Yes. Well said, Vivek. Exactly right. If it turns out we really need such an organization in the future, we just create it. Problem solved.” <stupid laugh>

Vivek: “By the people.”

Elon: “Yes. And answerable to the people and the people’s elected representatives. That is the way government is supposed to work.”

… Finally, when the two non-elected people finally stop talking, Joni Ernst has her opportunity to speak.

Sen Ernst: “I, I agree. And, more transparency. You know, sunshine is the best disinfectant out there– and”

Elon: “And they hate sunshine, that tells you something” <stupid laugh>

Sen Ernst: “We need to be able to exercise our oversight, and this is where we have been blocked so long in Congress — I mean, you can go onto my official website, on the Internet, you can look through my priorities, go to my “Squeal” area, I mean you can go back, I’ve got the last several years on there of efforts. Whether its USAID, you know, NIH – the National Institute of Health, those taxpayer dollars that were going to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, SNAP overpayments through USDA and the States, I mean, you name it. I mean, gosh, even my Back to Work report, the Out of the Office that we’ve talked so much about… And on day one, you know, the President came in and said, “Hey, everybody back to work”. I don’t think most Americans understand that only 6% of our federal workforce shows up to work in the office every single day. Only 6%”

Adrian went live with his Space right after Elon and Vivek ended their Space with Joni Ernst. I missed recording in the beginning, so this clip begins here:

1:11 AM with Adrian (Elon) advising @CallMeOuta (Andrew Tate) on the significance of a sock in terms of masturbation.

At 1:31 AM, Adrian gets everyone back on to the topic at hand: DOGE – and he has Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) explain why USAID deserved the woodchipper, with contempt for the United States he doesn’t even bother to hide.

Almost a week after the initial chaos causing “Fork in the Road” email, and 3 days before the deadline to accept, a copy of the agreement is provided to employees.

Trump administration adds fine print to ‘Fork’ resignation offer, deepening confusion

Duffy’s “Big News” tweet much briefer than his previous communications. Musk’s follow-up (complete with jab), reminds Duffy who’s in charge.

Duffy’s been on the job for 15 days, planes are falling out of the sky, and he’s just been low-key emasculated by Elon Musk … so, naturally, he lashes out at Hillary Clinton.
