Oh wow, and NOBODY saw that one coming...
Perhaps the families of the victims could sue Elon Musk.
Make it a class action too.
Yes let's get it officially on the record whether Elon was a government employee at the time. Does he have qualified immunity as a government employee or not?
The Nuremberg trial established that grease monkeys are on the hook for the evil they're ordered to commit. They couldn't hide behind the authority argument - i.e. "I was told to do so" ain't flying when it comes to mass murder, genocide and crimes against humanity.
After the American Reich falls and Elon gets his day in court for the thousands of death his handy work on USAID and other critical agencies created, he won't be able to use Trump as an excuse. So there is always that comforting thought...
If those ~20 girls from Camp Mystic are dead he'd get gutted like a fish by a jury. Kids and the elderly always garner jury sympathy. Of course there would probably be a settlement or years of appeals.
Read the wired article. The NOAA cuts didn't effect this instance. Texas's poor planning did.
Too late for those girls in summer camp.
It's sad it takes so many deaths to start a pitifully small pushback against those at fault. And not even that. Doge goons are just perfectly placed scapegoats who are about to inherit all the wrongdoings of this administration in the coming years.
The people who need to most will learn nothing from this.
Hurricane season is going to be real fun this year...
