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 take it way too personally 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…. btw, “it’s been widely reported” is basically a Trump catch phrase now
I just gave you hundreds of sources you ignorant ass. Including the AP, the BBC, the NYT, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, and more.
When you demand sources for what's being reported by literally every major news outlet, you just make it clear you either are intentially trying to mislead or are intentionally uninformed.
If it's the first, then you're doing a terrible job and you may find yourself falling out of a window when the boss finds out how shitty you are at your job. If it's the second, then it isn't my job to educate your stupid, ignorant ass.
you gave me the “let me google that for you” link… which was really funny, 20 years ago
it’s really simple: when making strong claims, cite a source.
not only does it make present conversation more meaningful, it also future proofs discussion because google broke the “time range” search feature and the internet is becoming the memory hole from 1984.
is the point of talking about things on here to be right, or to actually cooperate and figure stuff out?
He probably gets paid to argue. Block the little traitorous bitch and stop arguing with him.
wow, how much do they pay you to say dumb stuff like that?
since when did requesting a source make someone a “traitorous bitch”?
