It's all funny until you realize that the people willing to go back will be a bunch of spineless loyal yes men.

I can’t express in words how fucking stupid Trump and his ilk are. I just cannot believe these dumb mother fuckers!
Move fast and break things. What could possibly go wrong?
Maybe running a government isn't like trying to start a start up with a 90% failure rate!
Echoes of late 2022 when Twitter abruptly fired thousands of people, then turned around days later and tried to rehire many of them. I'm sure it's purely a coincidence that one person is closely tied to both incidents.
If only we could know who it is, things would be so much different.
You could also mention the Tesla Supercharger team.
And you might also draw parallels that this seems more like spite or other personal whim, rather than motivated by the needs of the organization, or applied with any intelligence
It's almost as this is done in a manner to distract from the hidden intention and doing it at Twitter was a test that confirmed its effectiveness. What a weird but definitely not happening possibility. Look over there! 👉 It's a trans immigrant that wants your dogs and women's gold medals!!
He fired the pandemic response team a few years before covid, because who needs that.
The good ones have probably already found new higher paying jobs. The ones that come back will be the dregs. But what can you expect from a guy who bankrupted a Casino

Considering they were betrayed by their country after years of patriotic service, you can probably find some of them in Beijing, and I don't blame them.
I would choose France.
That'd be an interesting choice. You could choose any other country and you go with one of the other autocracies? Good lookin foot I have there. Shame if I pulled this trigger.
I believe some countries don't have as many nuclear plants to hire engineers and scientists. France is one of the countries heavily invested in nuclear and so is UK. Maybe China does as well? I don't know about the latter if they have many nuclear plants and I am too lazy to check at the moment.
I don't know either, but a friend of mine is in nuclear research and said that China is investing a lot into nuclear power.
I'm sure they'd be treated extremely well. Usually there's some good incentives to encourage defectors
Yep at least you get a VIP treatment while they suck your brains off
Both places suck big time, change my mind.

Christ, what a bunch of dumb motherfuckers.
Malicious intent x Incompetency = whatever the fuck this is.
Dude is this seriously all that's happening over there? Like this is not just a bubble with jokes, it's literally just all dumb shit bordering on satire?
We left satire long ago. I feel sorry for satirists, parodists, and other humorists who can’t keep up with reality

Everyone thought they were electing a rooster into the henhouse, but the rooster brought in a fox and no one has a shotgun.
no one has a shotgun
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was America
In any other democracy there would be heads rolling and people going to jail over this. But as usual your elected representatives with their thumbs up their asses
Good time to ask for a raise!
ask
that's an odd way to spell demand, and not take no for an answer
I bet this dumb fuck pays for a terrorist attack to happen, so he can delcare marshal law. Then he gets unlimited powers, and won't leave the white house. I'm absolutely sure of it. It's ww2 all over again.
this dumb fuck pays for a terrorist attack to happen
bold of you to assume he's actually going to pay for anything
Is the Reichstag on fire?
Just because this is a common enough mistake, I'm going to publicly correct you for the benefit of other people who might see this comment. I apologize.
It's Martial Law. Not Marshall Law.
Everyone knows it is Martian Law
Now that explains Musk’s obsession with getting to Mars.
oh man, I knew that. I dunno why i said marshal law lol. Mustn't have been paying enough attention.

Well, time to renegotiate salary, isn't it?
To go work for a fascistic dictatorship? No number is high enough.
That is, of course, a valid position.
i'd be ghosting those mf'ers, too.
You would think this is an insult to the Trump administration but it is really a testament to the inefficient chaos that is the government bureaucracy. I worked for the fed government for approximately 15 years when hundreds of coworkers and myself received letters explaining the agency had no idea who we were. We would all have to repeat our background checks and resubmit fingerprints to the FBI. Some of the people had been there for 25+ years.
You would think this is an insult to the Trump administration
And you would be right. There's no doubt that some government agencies are bloated and overstaffed. But what this administration is doing is not even close to fixing any of these problems. They set out to allegedly trim a few sick trees and instead they're burning down the entire forest!
What a stupid piece of shit
