Donald Trump gave his co-President Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency carte blanche to go on a federal employee firing spree—and now Musk is lamely begging for workers to come back.

In a post on X on Thursday, Musk tried to unretire air traffic controllers via tweet, as if he and Trump didn’t gut the department as part of DOGE’s chaotic and unwieldy firings.

“There is a shortage of top notch air traffic controllers. If you have retired, but are open to returning to work, please consider doing so,” Musk wrote.

the White House announced a $1 billion, five-pronged investment to deploy epidemiologists and develop a bird flu vaccine in the face of skyrocketing egg prices

Meanwhile they gave $500 billion to Larry Ellison and Sam Altman to develop, what, better chatbots?
