The last time a major terrorist attack happened, the government got expansion of powers.
This is preparing for the next 9/11, reichstag-fire style.
And the dems will approve the Enabling Act.

He's starving dogs!
Yeah Elon Musk is a sick fuck, though lets be real. We all knew he wasn't above something like this, this is just proving what we all knew about him. It's still horrible though.
This is going to be the thing that gets white people off the train. Being mean to the dogs.
i'd wager good money they ignore it
This is some unhinged shit. Is it the drugs? Is it the Putin?
Hoping to kick off a war when a bomb does slip through the cracks.
So how does it go down when a moral human is forced to respond to this? Curious to get a scenario where an unelected bureaucrat tells you to ignore congress?
If it’s not already a thing we should start a live tracker of Elon’s current or last known whereabouts. For academic purposes.
Like the Elon flight tracker?
Yes, but I was thinking of a system with more … granularity and resolution. Maybe take the flight tracker and add to it, like noting the color of the vehicle he got in and its plate number. For research. Let’s say it’s to help calculate his efficiency with tax payer dollars.
I pray everyday for a poetic Mussolini ending for Musk
Nah, he's cutting corners in bomb detecting dogs, it's gonna be a Carrero Blanco 2 electric boogaloo
Beyond animal cruelty, you NEED bomb sniffing dogs! Holy shit! Do they realize that now potential bombers would have a huge upper hand in carrying explosives into airports? Why don't they say 'well those metal detectors and xray machines are too fancy' and go back to the late 60s when there was a hijackings once every 5.6 DAYS.
Why don't they say 'well those metal detectors and xray machines are too fancy'
I'm sure they'll cut maintenance budgets too, it just takes x-ray machines longer to starve
Paging D.B Cooper.
Oh well I'm sure the cabinet secretary who oversees TSA will get right on that oh wait she loves killing dogs too
Musk: The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy. The empathy exploit. They're exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response. So, I think, you know, empathy is good, but you need to think it through and not just be programmed like a robot.

Fucking psychopath.
quite literally
That’s definitely something a malignant narcissist would say
Sounds like those dogs should start letting bombs through to me.
Elon orders government. They said it out loud.
Sick fuck..
Yes let’s start starving animals now. Great job Republiscum.
Every time I read something about the USA in the last few weeks I think "Wow that's shitty. How can it get worse?"
In short order, the answer to my question is served up. I find it worse when the victims cannot speak or stand up for themselves. Though horrible things are happening to a wide range of victims at least they can protest, take action etc. The dogs cannot. I only hope that the handlers make sure the welfare of these animals is taken care of despite the order. They do not deserve to be pawns in the MAGA game, but then no one does.

Stop feeding Elon...
Or feed him enough fent to take care of the problem
He has enough body fat to survive until the heat death of the universe anyway.
Yeah he keeps it in his frunk.
Failing to feed and look after animals you are responsible of is animal abuse and illegal.

All that's going to happen is the people who the dogs live with will end up buying them food. As if they would starve a member of their family.
I thought that we already established that in Magastan "illegal" is only for poor people.

When I import things to the US through work, they always get stopped by Explosive Detection Dogs, at a cost of around 300 quid per pallet. I wonder if that will stop or drastically reduce. Certainly doesn't seem like a good idea if you want to stop things coming in that shouldn't be.
Can't keep a bs trade war on fentanyl, if dogs are stopping the fentanyl.
Having dog handlers pay for the dogs they need for work is totally in line with having teachers pay for teaching tools.
Not surprising sadly. This is the same man that labeled people relying on the government for a safety net to fucking live parasites.
I am one of those people that is part of the parasite class. I look forward to being able to get teamed up with a doggo in the camp. That actually kinda makes me feel a little better if that would happen actually.
What a freaking shitshow.
The only REAL parasites are the oligarchs.
All of them rely on govt way, way more than anyone else. Of course they try to paint themselves as entrepreneurs who pull themselves by the bootstraps without no help from anyone
