    they had nuked all the work email addresses and personnel files so they didn’t know how to get in touch

    Jesus fucking Christ why are they straight up deleting their employee data.

    Do these limp noodle minions think deleting swaths of data is the way to make the government run faster?

    Like one of these gooners found his laptop ran better after he deleted the 2TB of porn filling up his hard drive and decided he found the magic sauce to “making the government run faster”?

    Or is this all Elon in a k-hole frenzy?

      This is them enforcing their agenda regardless of what the courts rule, because they can’t effectively be ordered to put back data that physically no longer exists.

        They could have made a backup for themselves and the courts would never know.

        To just outright delete the data and not keep a backup for themselves is some kind of achievement in stupidity.

        Like if the nobel peace prize was instead the nobel stupid prize for those special individuals that really push the envelope in doing something exceptionally stupid, nobel stupid prize 2025 to Elon’s entire dweeb squad.

          They could have made a backup for themselves and the courts would never know.

          Sure, they could… but if it’s worth hiding from the courts, why would they give up that secret for something as unimportant as nuclear security either?

      Or delete enough accounts to mask the the purposeful deletion of the data of an inside contact.

      Do these limp noodle minions think

      I’m gonna stop you right there, the answer is “no”. They’re mostly in it for the lulz.
