Should I just take your word for it?

It was brought up literally during that very meeting.

It's been widely reported. Much of the cabinet hates Musk.

Look at it from their perspectives. They've sold their souls to grasp at power, and now that they have control over massive federal agencies, this motherfucker starts trying to fire their staff and cut their funding.

it’s been widely reported that every time someone says “it’s been widely reported” it’s to defend some misleading statement

"It's been widely reported" means there's been lots of reports. As in, you can look it up and find hundreds of articles about from all sides of the political spectrum with less effort than it takes to call everyone a liar.

But since you're too lazy to even do that, you can click the link below.

Asking someone to cite a source is important for information that obscure. When it's for a news story that's been on every radio, TV, internet, and print news sources in the country non-stop for multiple days, it just makes you look like an ignorant asshole.

it’s been widely reported that you turn into a whiney little bitch when lightly questioned about anything….

here’s how it works: i’m not too lazy to google some vague claim you made, but i’m not googling the claims everyone makes… so the burden of proof is on you…

just grow up and cite your sources, you ignorant asshole…. btw, “it’s been widely reported” is basically a Trump catch phrase now

You can take my word for it. One of my buddies works for the DoD and the order came in on Monday expressly highlighting to NOT respond to the email.

The DoD email was actually signed, unlike the musk intern hr email.
