DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

Jeff Bezos had a busy day Wednesday.

After announcing the obliteration of the Washington Post’s editorial page that morning, he had dinner that night with Donald Trump. 👉
And you will never in a million years guess whom Bezos had dinner with, shortly after he made the right-wing swing on his editorial page.

(And presumably the Hawaii item refers to Zuckerberg.)

He hid for nine months in occupied Mariupol before being rescued by the Ukrainian Navy.

the shitty, monopolized, and uncompetitive telecom sector, which spent 40+ years neutering government oversight, sees no incentive to try very hard, including securing its networks
