TSA Says Its Credit Cards for Bomb-Sniffing Dogs Are Cut Off
404media.co/tsa-k9-bomb-sniffi

"The #TSA spokesperson didn’t clarify whether these were #Doge cuts... but Elon Musk’s dept has been busy making poorly-coded & insecure websites, dodging #FOIA, gutting national parks resources... demanding federal workers list their weeks out in bullet points, and generally sowing #chaos all over the federal #government with layoffs & budget cuts."

You could not give me a Tesla for free, because I would not want a Tesla.

A car, that I do not completely own. That, previously, tried disabling used Tesla's and suing anyone who resold their Tesla (they claimed you don't have the rights to resell). And even putting that aside, requiring a lifetime subscription fee to use the functions and features that come with the car is insane. I want to own my car and everything that comes with it.

There is no value, from my perspective, in ever owning a Tesla.

NEW: Insiders tell ProPublica that Amy Gleason is only in charge on paper, while Musk’s top lieutenants really run #DOGE.

One person who has been in meetings with Gleason described her as having “little to no actual decision making” responsibilities.

How to lose $148B in less than 2 months

By Charlie Warzel

For years, #Trump’s critics have accused him of behaving like a crooked used-car salesman. Tues afternoon, he did it for real on the WH South Lawn.

Squinting in the sun w/Elon #Musk, Trump stood next to 5 #Tesla vehicles, holding a piece of paper w/handwritten notes about their features & costs. Trump said he would purchase a car himself at full price.
