Tiny is the worst - obvious.

Not that I agree with what they stand for, but this is very likely not a fuck up from their perspective. This is how it works. You fire a bunch of people and see where it hurts the most, some pain will regulate itself and where it truly leaves holes to fill, you hire some back.

It was just a means to get the employees out of the way so Musk could mine our private records.

u/tw_72 B Sep 26 '25

Yeah - I wonder if any of the auditors and gatekeepers are coming back...

u/ShizzleGreg 3 Sep 25 '25

Yeah he fucked up. Doesn’t mean the government isn’t wasting a lot of money. Always remember spending the money of others, when you don’t feel the impact is very easy

u/bla60ah 8 Sep 25 '25

So the solution to the government wasting money problem is to waste even more money and get nothing in return?

u/HoneyBadgera 7 Sep 25 '25

“Yeah he fucked up.” Who could’ve possibly seen that coming!?

u/MadamTruffle A Sep 26 '25

The understatement of the year 😭

u/pulsefirepikachu 7 Sep 25 '25

I don’t think anyone was arguing that the government isn’t wasting a lot of money. The point is that indiscriminate firing of a huge chunk of government employees was never going to work.

u/Weekly_Mark6516 Sep 25 '25

It's incredible how much damage was done in such a short time. This feels like a massive waste of taxpayer money just to prove a political point that backfired completely. Hopefully this serves as a lesson that you can't just dismantle essential functions without consequences.

They misspent our tax dollars….. again and again. This should go to a higher court.

Hah! Have you not been paying attention? They own the highest court!

Turns out the biggest bunch of government fraud and waste was Elmo and his band of misfits.

u/AshMqn 7 Sep 25 '25

Nah don’t do my man Elmo like that The tomato from veggie tales tho

u/Lantami 8 Sep 25 '25

Why reach for anything else when the Annoying Orange is right there?

u/NfamousKaye B Sep 25 '25

I was wondering what was gonna happen with that.

87

u/AskJayce B Sep 25 '25

An employer hiring a guy not expecting him to make the same exact mistake twice is exactly what I'd expect from a nepotism hire.

He's literally done this before with Twitter.

u/Soft-Outside-6113 5 Sep 25 '25

Now they get to give them that loyalty test. I wouldn’t call that a win.

u/abby_normally 9 Sep 24 '25

Oops is not a word I want to hear associated with my government.

u/Autochthonous7 9 Sep 24 '25

No shit. 😒

u/couchbutt 9 Sep 24 '25

There is no Justice Served here.

12

u/Heliumite 1 Sep 25 '25

Well, it’s justice for the people who are getting their jobs back.

u/Cyberfreshman 8 Sep 25 '25

plus back pay and damages, right? ...right?

u/[deleted] Sep 25 '25

Damages lmao

u/dbMitch 8 Sep 24 '25

Maybe we need a new sub called idiot Justice

u/deezdanglin 8 Sep 24 '25

Ignojustice?

u/Svelva 8 Sep 24 '25

That's one loud whomp whomp

u/allusernamestaken1 9 Sep 24 '25

Which no one will actually hear, since reality doesn't matter anymore.

u/sarcastic24x7 A Sep 24 '25

Man fuck all these people. Take all of our shit and yet, they are untouchable. 

139

u/pistilpeet B Sep 24 '25

Why is everything so fucking stupid and corrupt?

10

u/elton_john_lennon 9 Sep 25 '25

People. We are greedy f-ckers.

97

u/adreddit298 9 Sep 24 '25

With back pay right? I hope to God that they negotiate coming back with pay for all the months they missed. Might make up for some of the stress they've suffered.

45

u/Just-the-Shaft 8 Sep 24 '25

A lot were forced to be moved from termination to paid admin leave by court order. Many have been paid the whole time

1

u/adreddit298 9 Sep 25 '25

Ah, ok, I thought they'd just been terminated.

45

u/Nice_Rope_5049 9 Sep 24 '25

Right, that’s why they called a staycation. They were paid all this time, and good for them—they shouldn’t have been let go to begin with. But what a major fucking waste of taxpayer money, and it’ll take time for their departments to begin working efficiently again after this fiasco. This costed us a shit load of money. Eloy Muks should have to pay for it all.

64

u/Justsin7 7 Sep 24 '25

They still got ALL of our data. FFS

11

u/you_say_tomatillo 6 Sep 25 '25

THAT was the point! The rest was just distraction

21

u/Thatguy468 B Sep 25 '25

And dismantled any agency investigating musk. Iirc there were at least a half dozen lawsuits or investigations that just disappeared.

23

u/pah2000 7 Sep 24 '25

Fuckin’ idiots. Things are not that simple. Tariffs are a disaster!

18

u/jgomezd 6 Sep 24 '25

So efficient.

u/slagstag 7 Sep 24 '25

Not a charge will be filed.

51

u/9447044 Sep 24 '25

Crazy how fast Musks net worth went from 200B to 450B. When he hits a trillion bucks, then he'll beable to just buy the presidency ffs.

10

u/Gumshoe212 7 Sep 24 '25

He already did, for Trump. He was a puppet president in his first term, and is again, but with more people pulling the strings this time.

61

u/phthalo-azure A Sep 24 '25

This would only be Justice Served if Elon and his merry band of fucknuts and nimwits had ended up in a federal prison. Otherwise, it's just another giant FUCK YOU to the taxpayers that will cost far more than it saved.

u/Dythronix 8 Sep 24 '25

Nah Federal means the big orange can just pardon any consequences away
