it sounds like crazy leftist hysterics when you say this but a lot of the key DOGE teenyboppers literally came from fascist pedo cybercriminal groups bsky.app/profile/gard...

His teenage doge sheep did a whole lot of damage, not understanding what they were doing. The catastrophes are only beginning.😞

It's upsetting that describing elon as the man who killed hundreds of thousands of global poor, stole your SSN, and let screw worms drive up cattle prices is also part of a vast conspiracy to steal your retirement money in order to become the worlds first trillionaire, isn't as catchy as pizzagate

you are at an inherent disadvantage when your followers don’t tend to show up to private establishments with guns because of a meme they saw on facebook

large swathes of the government were illegally seized by "basically Anton Chigur, but 21 and stupid" and they probably stole everyone's Social Security data and barely anybody is even aware it happened

One of Elon’s chief lieutenants used to own and operate the Mr. Yogato froyo shop in the DuPont circle neighborhood of DC. It’s absolutely insane.

I just checked and while all of the local Nashville news stations have stories about the screw worm (mostly focusing on how they can infect humans), none of them mention anything about the US Government cutting funding to prevent it.

That's the thing, it's all so cartoonishly evil and stupid that people who don't pay attention don't believe you... wait, even people who do but aren't as online don't, either. We are up against nihilism and it's very difficult to fight.

I'm really sick of the things that when you said them, while they were happening, sounded like lefty hysterics, having consequences. There are going to be a couple more in a month or two.

side issue but it’s a huge zoomer L. the screwworm program is in every “Interesting facts!” YouTube video, it’s probably the only think my kids know about the USDA. a fash child cutting it is like banning subway surfers, just a betrayal of their kind

That wasn't regular Big Tech bullshit. That was Elon playing Bad Cop as a favor to Trump and President Vought, destroying things they wanted destroyed, quickly and senselessly so nobody could fight back fast enough, and taking the blame with him when he left, letting Trump deny any fault.

A key part of "move fast and break things" was always that it's someone else's problem to pick up the broken pieces. Government is the "someone else" of last resort and when you break that you get [gestures vaguely at multiple concurrent crises]

I remember people calling this out in real time *back then* and saying we’d end up here - now here we are It truly sucks that no one ever listens to Cassandra because she’s always speaking but the press doesn’t cover her

I've been going crazy over this having vanished from the conversation. Texas screwworm wasn't an inevitability, it's the direct result of decisions made. But it's not Trump's fault because Musk did it, and what's the point blaming Musk when he's no longer Special Guest President? Maddening.

Why would you think ppl were "kidding"??? There have been MULTIPLE explanatory threads about this by experts (even back in 2025 when the program was killed)!! Do you think the upcoming removal of *all* the ocean observing systems run by OOI is some kind of joke too?? Take experts seriously ffs.

Imagine having weeks to prepare for a Human Pandemic. With all the knowledge gleamed from human existence. The Dark Ages Black Death Bubonic Plague. Spanish flu. And you as the wee man in charge. Favour Economics. Over your fellow American people. Adding Insult to injury. You are elected again. 🇮🇪🇪🇺

You know the Republican mantra, government is bad, useless and broken, so elect Republicans, give them your taxpayer dollars to pay them to continue to make government useless, bad and broken. Rinse, repeat. If this screwworm issue becomes a serious issue, Republicans WILL blame the government.

as others have pointed out on here, undoubtedly those DOGEzos saw the word ‘screwworm’, laughed like Beavis & Butthead and sent it to the woodchopper. Not knowing anything about what it is, just axed it on the name alone, because they thought it sounded funny. this is 100% what happened.

Why would you think people were kidding, it's exactly the kind of thing he did. I'm sure there are other monstrous things he did that will become big problems any day now.

I sure hope there are solid receipts that prove DOGE did this . . . Republicans & Donald Trump are 100% responsible . . . Dems need to be yelling this from the roof tops . . . a vote for ANY Republican in the midterms is a vote for stupidity, increased costs & American destruction‼️ 😤

I remember when Maga said Joe Biden was going to take away your hamburgers. Turns out Maga will be the ones to take away your hamburgers. Literally everything is projection with these dummies.

Imbecile? No, he’s a traitor. The year leading up to the election Musk did not report secret meetings w/Putin. An immigrant has infiltrated our government, bought the election with the proceeds of our government, and is dismantling our country at the behest of our foreign enemies. He’s a traitor.

As a vet student, screw worm was right up there with the top scary monsters of parasitology, but I luckily only worked in screw worm free countries. I assume no veterinarian was consulted by Elon’s Doge rent-a-mob. I mean, who needs experts 🤷‍♀️

Unbelievable. Dropping the ball on a literal flesh-eating parasite containment just to slash budgets? 🤦‍♂️ Absolutely brain-dead move. We are officially living in a satire simulation. Expect chaos. 🐛💀⚠️

The nicest thing you can say about Elon's DOGE crew is that they may have been too ignorant to understand all the damage they were doing That doesn't absolve them, of course; but the alternative is that they knew the consequences and didn't care (or actively sought them)

it's a little bit like having your jugular cut by someone who thinks it's full of the magic moon juice that keeps the angels from getting inside of you like yes his intention is to kill you, yes he's going to succeed if he does that, but his beliefs regarding the how are at right angles to reality

i think breaking things and hurting people was indeed the end goal but i don't think any of them really had any concept that any of their slash-and-burn efforts might, say, destroy the US food supply

Yeah, Musk wants to buy more Texas land and what better way to make some available on the cheap than to bankrupt some ranchers?

USDA, USAID, SSA, VA. Whatever they could get their hands on, these morons started cutting. DOGE used the jobs cutting as cover for the real prize, all those days siloes. The fallout of shit like screw worms, disease, and starvation were “collateral damage”. God it makes me sick to type that.

People aren't kidding. I told my (conservative) brother that the administration was wrecking the National Weather Service. His response: "No one could be that stupid." And yet, here we are. The greed and recklessness are limitless.

Of course scumbag Trump just fucked up a century worth of fucking public works. You fucking people are trash you let this sack of shit take your cash. Fucking Americans are dumb get me the fuck out.

Yes, yes he did. Said Texas would pick up the tab for it because it's the port of entry for Mexican cattle for the most part. Turns out Texas couldn't/wouldn't fund it and now we have new world screw worm in Texas! Gotta love it. Oh, also, the USDA won't say Elon is the one that de-funded it.

Why would you have thought they were kidding? They burned the food stores, already paid for but not distributed, rather than keep people from starving.

A lot of people's worldviews are predicated on "bad things happen in bad places, but I live in a good place so bad things can't happen here". And they apply similar logic to good and bad people. Unfortunately, reality doesn't work that way.

As much as I hate all of this, I have to say that sometimes people and societies just have to learn the hard way that regulations and government programs are usually rather good and necessary because they're typically solutions to bad shit.

Not an imbecile. Just a serious threat to humanity. The psychotic gleam in Elon's eyes at times gives away his utter lack of empathic response. Let alone sympathetic. Yet another POS with daddy issues he has to take out on all of us.

The money they supposedly saved is going to be eclipsed by the medical bills of people affected, the number of herds that will have to be destroyed, and the rise in beef prices because ofa this.

May 2025 USDA suspended cattle imports originating in/transiting Mexico due to screwworm. Still banned from entry along US southern border. USDA ‘25 press release whined about billions of US$ &60 yrs spent monitoring for screwworm, like that was a bad thing. Cattle are banned, but meat? Not banned.

So, someone got Musk on the phone and said, “You’re gonna pay for the ‘clean-up of this screw-worm shit-show’, right? If not, then he should be banned from this country and doing all business. He’s a danger to the US.

Trump had trashed at least two major US government pandemic planning organizations his first term, one early, one right before the COVID-19 pandemic was obviously a real problem.

There is an outbreak of a new rare variant of Ebola in Africa. Currently there are no vaccines or specific treatments for this virus. 🦠 Back in the USA, confirmed cases of the screwworm have been reported in Texas and New Mexico. Yes, screwworms can kill humans if an infestation is left untreated.

The ebola virus is killing all the health workers, per a recent NPR interview: "The health services in Congo are critically under-resourced in terms of handling this epidemic. One of the outcomes is that many, many, many health workers have already contracted the disease and died."

At the rate he's going, he'll be able to pay for it. All the favors he's bought for SpaceX to drive up its valuation are looking likely to get him the $1 TRILLION dollar salary he demanded. He's going to have SEVEN TIMES more wealth than the second wealthiest person on the planet.
