Now that the Republicans are in office, can’t they control the weather so there are no more tornadoes or hurricanes?
All formerly provided Government services deemed worthy and/or profitable will be contracted out.
Starlink contract coming.
He is the cable guy. Free the first year and then perpetual increases
He doesn't think...he's using a calculator to see how much he can steal from us before we stop him. It's about time we all get in the streets, and protest. Authoritarians never leave voluntarily, they must be forced out by angry citizens. Are you angry enough yet? I am.
X Weather
It’s simple. He wants to replace it with AI and services provided by his own companies with a fat government contract
It’s about starlink and his satellites. He supposedly is handing our satellite defenses over to Russia. 🤬 This was in a post from Republicans in Florida.
I’m guessing he has an idea for a forecasting satellite he wants to shill.
He's going to privatize the service under one of his own companies and charge consumers an exorbitant price for access.
What makes you think he wants to save your life? He wants to steal your money.
The Russians want us dead. Musk works for Moscow. This is not hard to figure out.
You can't kill all your money depositors. How do you make money?Only the ones whom you can't brainwash. Russians don't want us dead. They want us under control & part of the fanasty New Russian Empire.
Based on actions, it would appear that a majority of Americans also want themselves dead. Or at least severely degraded and suffering. Such a stupid time in a stupid country.
49% fell for it, and then there’s the bunch who decided to stay home on election day…
✅
Privatization. Musk has exactly what we need after all.
He’s insane… that is the only excuse.
The point is to make the U.S.A. vulnerable and its citizens weak and demoralized.
😡
It’s all personal with Trump. He was embarrassed by NOAA when they had to correct his loony prediction in 2019 that a hurricane was about to hit Alabama.
Because the more US citizens who die or are hurt or are in dire circumstances, the fewer there are to stand in their way or put up a serious fight when their just fighting to survive.
Rich people will know. He doesn't have any concern for the rural poor that will be killed.
Remember, none of the oligarchs live anywhere they are in danger from Hurricanes & Tornadoes. They don't care about the rest of us. These guys need to go.
He's making money from it. You can be certain.
Taking down the "easy" parts first. Most Americans have 0 idea what the NOAA is or does..therefore little protest. Faux News has vilified the Dept. of Education long enough to make dismantling it an approved action... It's tyranny by degrees. P2025 wants to dismantle all of it. Not hyperbole.
Most Americans have 0 idea about anything. That’s how we got into this mess.
😡
Musk is about to launch his own Starlink weather service. Need I tell you, Joyce, follow the money. And get a puppy.
Hopefully he'll end up under a building just like the Wicked Witch of the West. Then we can all sing, "Ding, dong...."
What next? Maybe we should close part of the Pentagon or the White House? I really wish that some judge would tell trump and Musk to stop what they're doing, give back the contracts, and everything else they've done before it's too late!
📌
Killing the administrative state. They like us uninformed. And in danger.
The goal is to make people suffer.
Sharpigate retribution?
NWS since 1870 Craig and Lisa are killed off for free anyways? All in Project 2025
I think the answer is simple. Power & $$$$.
I sympathize with you. I also feel confused about it, but having considered it through recent sleepless nights, I’ve concluded it’s due to his impulsiveness, arrogance, love of “power over” and lying. He is either oblivious to the chaos he is causing, or enjoying it too much to stop - or both.
Project 2025 described NOAA as a primary component “of the climate change alarm industry” and said it “should be broken up and downsized.”
No weather predictions, no warnings, no FEMA. You can wipe out ppl easily. The ones left will be desperate and will do what they are told. Playbook straight from The Empire in Star Wars.
I think the goal is to privatize all these agencies, which will be bought up by Trump and his cronies, aka Oligarchs, so they can get even richer.
Privatization.
Oh no ! What about Mara Lago?
Hopefully the first airplane to get caught in severe weather due to unforecasted weather is AF1.
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how Elon Musk became god? How and Why does a foreign anti-American rich from South Africa get to come to America and decide the fate of the American people?
Because trump is infatuated with someone who could buy him
money. he wants the money. shaking it all down FOR MONEY
WeatherX...
Everything seems about revenge and destruction
No climate change if no stats showing climate change.
No major storms and natural disasters if there is no NOAA to report them and warn us. No injuries, no victims, and no damage to repair if there is no FEMA boots on the ground.
*are no FEMA boots...
it's to weaponize natural disasters with the hope that people die.
DOGE is greed misspelled
Very simple, Joyce…Musk, a psychopath, wants to be Zeus, master of the universe…he’s attempting to exert control all over the world…Trump, a psychopath, is allowing Musk to wreak havoc, because he’s been paid by the Kremlin since 1989 with the goal of obtaining the presidency and weaken the country
Chaos agents don’t have good ideas.
I keep reading how surprized everyone is at the new lows of the regime. This is a coup. I think you need to mobilize more quickly than “the ides of March” and figure out how to have a true general strike until the regime is gone. Hunker down. You can do it Americans!!
MINDBOGGLING
They are dismantling democracy.
Chaos. Then blame the chaos on the person you really want to Target with your hate. And it will work
So they can privatize it and Elon scoops up more government contracts.
I believe that too - that is their objective.
My thought exactly! Democracy dies without public data….
They don’t care who dies!! Someone with money needs to plaster that on a few million billboards
They want to hide climate change data.
I think we’re all having a hard time understanding ALL of his cuts.
Marshall law when enough chaos ensues. This will be the official end of our free will.
The privatization of forecasting will be a mighty windfall for related businesses. DOGE is not saving money; DOGE is making money. Everything they do is to gain access to the public treasury or strip away business regulation. You don't need to know the How because the Why is always true.
Right in time for storm season up Tornado Alley.
Sure feels like there is a concerted effort to weaken or dismantle every single agency that makes people safer.
the US govt, in short
Chain saw..no direction known
Clearly the Ketamine therapy is not working.
THESE PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING STUPID
Because that's what russia wants
I’m pretty sure it’s because he doesn’t give one iota about others and he wants to get the funds that were allotted to that agency and other agencies too. It’s truly outrageous when too much isn’t enough.
It is nonsense!
I think it is easy to understand. Musk and Trump are working as hard and as fast as they can to destroy the United States. They are both working for Putin.
Exactly. Smash and grab because 47 is ILLEGITIMATE. They rigged the election. Check out the report by the ElectionTruthAlliance.org Russian tail wagging the American dog
Starlink.
Probably so!!!
Elon only looks at the cost, he doesn't give a shit about the benefits. Save money to give to the rich, and if people die, they die. Psychopaths care only about themselves.
Starting to think Elon Trump and their ilk are a different species. What they say and think is good, is not good. What they say and think is bad, is not bad. They’re basically imps and demons sent from hell to destroy us. In human skin suits. What is to be done? We must find their weakness & act.
He’s going to have Starlink kiddos do it. This is all about the space nazi getting more money and all of us having less
The idea is to commercialize it. You want weather data? Buy this subscription from a Trump donor's new company.
We need all these offices to protect us!
The big question is how do we get him out of our government.
If your homes, schools, and businesses are destroyed, it’s hard to think about anything else. There are quite a few red states in the south that are going to be devastated by the destruction because of this decision. The ignorant people who overwhelmingly support the fat orange traitor will suffer.
He is banning FEMA too. He thinks the states can take on their own disasters
To hide global warming?
Because they're not aimed directly at him?
He really does enjoy breaking and destroying people and making them suffer
#impeachthepresident
This a Moscow-based plan
He is a dick. That's why.
Because he can.
Maybe just because they can put limits on his behavior arstechnica.com/science/2018...
New priorities? www.space.com/spacex-starl...
Fine !!! let them welcome the tornadoes, hurricanes , wildfires. Who care if people died right? They don’t even care if the babies are dying already . By the way , these are so called Christians and Catholics🤬🤬🤬No FEMA too🤪🤪🤪
He is a sociopathic narcissist. He breaks sh*t to break it.
Doesn’t he have an entity that he can provide as an option… at an outrageously inflated price??
Not to mention the NOAA gives critical weather data for airlines taking off and landing. His plan?
Monetizing EVERYTHING is their goal.
It’s easier to understand if you put yourself in the shoes of a domestic terrorist. 🙈
He wants us to die.
Are you? It’s because Putin wants us injured, mangled or dead. Musk and the felon comply and do what they’re told.There is no other reason.
Privatization.
Until some people step up with enormous amounts of courage, Trump and Musk will continue until they’re stopped.
The Weather Channel often refers to the “European Model” and the “American Model” when predicting weather. They are usually similar, but not always. Perhaps we will only have the European Model in the future.
To privatize it. bsky.app/profile/beve...
I'd never heard of @justinglawe.bsky.social before, but this's one of best explanatory journalism pieces I've ever read. For me, it's deeply personal (my father was a Midwestern big-city "newspaperman" for 40+ yrs). And it's profoundly factually accurate throughout. open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...
Asking...I know the supreme court has given trump immunity but it hasn't given all his Cabinet members, lawyers, agency heads...immunity. Can they all b held accountable 4 breaking the law, not upholding the Constitution when trump's term ends, or before? Like the nazi generals were? 🤔 #Resist
OMG 😱.
Simple answer, he doesn’t give a shit. Breaking the regulatory abilities of the federal gvt is his goal. If he fucks up free reliable weather reporting while he’s at it that’s one more service he can charge for.
This is part of the neo-reactionary movement. Its entire goal is to dismantle the government, "delete Democracy", & install a dictator ✅ They do not care which government agency is impacted. They do not care who is impacted. What matters to them is power and money. They'd sell their own children.
He knows a guy who wants to buy it.
If you are trying to destroy a country, just let Mother Nature do it for you.
💯
His attitude will change when his Space-X flights are put in jeopardy because of this.
Because Elon will offer his own weather satellites and AI forecasting for a fee?
None of this DOGE/Musk business makes any sense. Please Congress, stop the madness!
Likely replacing it with something like a virus worm. Always reporting back to mothership It's a beta test that will do harm like the self driving cars.. A person has to be some kind of ruthless to do such thungs
Because then Vance and his rich buddies can’t use Acretrader to buy up the cheap properties after they’ve been destroyed by natural disasters….?
The rich Nazis will be fully informed. You can wash a lot of poor, undesirable people away in one swoop with what he's doing. Probably the whole point
less people on the planet the less the govt has to pay for healthcare , education , anything that reg "poor" ppl might need
No, because there won't be any information for them to get. And rich people are completely dependent on poor people, though they do tend to forget.
So that a private company can do it at a higher cost to taxpayers and in a self-interested (rather than public service) way.
must be because he plans to use starlink to give the US that info .. at a hefty price tag of course .
I hope tornadoes hit his damn SpaceX facility in McGregor bc I am sick and tired of him rattling my dishes.
He's a malignant narcissist, psychopath, and sociopath. The broken POS just can't deal with life.
What kind of country allows a diseased South African racist to determine what is needed. MAGA Dumbshits eat shit
As much as I respect you, I think you know, you just don’t want to say it. Coy is not needed. It is of no use to us. He wants to see us suffer because it amuses him, he wants death to reduce population and he wants privatization for capitalism.
They want to privatise and sell at a large profit. Musk a potential buyer.
Because he’s cruel and evil just like trump
His view is that you need to look out the window regularly to determine if those clouds and light breeze are a precursor to an incoming Tornado.
Don’t worry Joyce. NOAA can stock up on low cost weather predictors.
When is the insanity going to STOP 😞
It's all set forth in Project 2025. Seriously. envirodatagov.org/project-2025...
I truly think he's out to destroy us all! Then only wealthy tech bros + their surrounding plastic harem will be left. Really can't fathom any other reason they're doing all this! 🤔🤷♀️
When all federal Agencies fail ( FEMA can’t get to SC and NC to help with fires because their travel budget is now $1 p/day) they can claim govt doesn’t work and divert resources to privatization. They are stealing our money and the MSM is STILL normalizing this shit!
Simple answer. Because he’s an asshole. Alternative answer, because he wants the Feds to use his AI app to replace humans thereby making him richer.
These asswipes don't want us to know when a life-threatening weather event is coming, so there's an excuse for FEMA not to showing up
What FEMA? 🐍
Touché
Oh, Elmo wants us to know. He just wants us to 𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘩𝘪𝘮 for it, at his new corporation, Weatherlink.
Xeatherlink
Of course! 😂
Because the goal is complete chaos.
Because he can
This will also affect AIR TRAFFIC -- it depends on accurate weather reports
He's planning to replace it with for fee services, wholly owned subsidiary of Musk Inc. He's replacing our federal service with himself and his business entities.
It was clear when he began to truly sing Agent Orange praises and throwing millions at him that Elon Muskownhad become bored with being the richest in the world and now needs to be the most powerful. Sadly it means destroying our government first
It's simple. Elon is also working for Russia.
Because they are happy to unalive us
Population control
Tomorrow 3/4/2025 50 states, 50 protest, 1 day Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest. ~ Diderot www.fiftyfifty.one?fbclid=PAY2x...
Maybe Elon should be imprisoned at Shark Island in the Dry Tortugas for a while.
Um, because he’s a fan of extinguishing lives?
I think they're looking to "decrease the surplus population."
I’m having a hard time understanding why they hate humanity. They’re doing everything they can to make us less safe and sicker, from dirtier air and water to denying vaccines to eliminating research to control disease.
Because he wants starlink to do it. Hes breaking and dismantling programs in order to have Starlink swing in and fix them.
You hit the Bull's-eye
I know no one will see this, but my OWN personal opinion is that they are trying to kill us all off in one way or another. No early warning systems, people die. No health insurance for the poor, disabled or elderly, we die. The lists go on and on.🤬😥
I agree
You are not wrong
But if they kill everyone, how will Amazon survive.
He has enough money to close down Amazon today and live a very long & money grubbing, egotistical, greedy life. With out a care in the world.
Bezos already has over $200 billion. Why would he care? That amount can't be spent in the 2 or 3 generations he might live to see. These bastards have no long-term plans, they just don't believe that they should contribute the tax $ necessary to maintain the roads their fortunes were built on.
Bezos already has more money than god. As long as he has the yacht, he's happy.
Yacht’s not going to do much good in a hurricane.
And no servants to clean it, cook for them, etc.
apparently this is the way cruel and evil people are
Only they are important
A sick and poor people are easier to conquer than a healthy rich one. Putin wants us sick and overwhelmed, so we can't fight back.
Yep. It all makes sense once you see it that way.
You’re just their serfs
More houses that get wiped out, the more land that can be bought.
Most of us have a hard time understanding anything that ketamine addled flaming asshole does.
Any adversary would be ecstatic to inflict one tenth as much damage as we are doing to ourselves.
BECAUSE THEYRE DESTROYING AMERICA FROM WITHIN!! IN SERVICE TO PUTIN!
Amateurs doing serious damage to our country.
Why would you think it would bother him? If he's in the path of a hurricane, he can just get on his jet and go someplace else. If it destroys his house, he'll just go to another house. If it kills one of his kids, he'll just father another one.
He is free of any consequences resulting from the destruction of our government. Too bad those morons in Congress can't figure that out.
They have been saying they want us dead for a decade.
Because he thinks it can all be done with AI which he will be happy to supply in exchange for another multimillion dollar government contract. That’s why.
Elon probably has his own weather system he is waiting to promote that is AI generated
Bill Nye, the Science guy, agrees.
I’m having a hard time understanding why this nongovernmental individual is allowed to have anything to do with the federal government’s policies actions working departments? I wouldn’t even accept his emails.
Everything they are doing is detrimental to the most vulnerable. I am certain this has not escaped them. We must ask is it part of their strategy @joycewhitevance.bsky.social.
Project 2025 says NOAA promotes the ‘climate change hoax’ and thus hurts the prosperity of our country. And they want to privatize it so that someone like Musk can make money off it.
If you view it all in the light of damaging the United States, it makes more sense. It is the opposite of what government is supposed to do: make American lives better.
Simple. To privatize NOAA.
They no longer need maga votes so they are disposable.
Having a hard time understanding anything related to Elon Musk.
His aim is to replace everything with AI
It makes perfect sense when you realize he’s working for Putin and our demise is the end goal
Because musk trump want to figure out a way to charge the country for the info - with u know who profiting
Because SpaceX apparently doesn’t need weather data. He doesn’t care about saving lives. Isn’t that pretty clear?
Bc he's gonna privatize it using his own satellites, apparently.
I swear they want to kill as many of us as they can........they just don't give a shit!
Because private companies will be able to force us to pay for the info.
Who needs NOAA when you have a Sharpie pen?
One gets the sense these folks aren't big fans of anything that generates actual facts.
Wait for the Starlink contract. It'll make sense then.
Anything that has a whiff of "environment" or climate change to it is on the chopping block it seems. But this is insanity. And it's deeply alarming. Another item on the list of topics to reach out to Congress people about.
Hard to know. 1. He does not understand what they do nor how they do it. 2. His rocket launches do need forecasts. 3. Does he want the College Park property? Some of the properties make no sense other than their real estate value.
One word. Privatization
Probably because some billionaire thinks privatizing weather forecasts would make money. Make the peasants pay to receive lifesaving information. Color me so very angry.
Weather events do not respond to Executive Orders. Is this trump's idea of making a deal with the climate? What a foolish thing that Musk/trump are doing to keep us as unsafe as possible!
I guess then his black marker will give us all we need to know as far as where hurricanes are heading
Don’t worry, Joyce: magats will perform the mental gymnastics required to make it make sense (to them).
Maybe it is on par with his claim in his first term that the reason there were so many Covid cases was that there was too much testing.
Some misdirected anger towards what they feel is the “Climate Change Hoax” no doubt. They always end up lashing out like a drunk monkey and create collateral damage in the most idiotic way possible
Same. If a hurricane is coming, I would want a chance to evacuate. Swearing oaths. What was the point?
🤬🤬🤬 This has got to STOP! Our country & institutions are being raped & pillaged
Republicans are Trump accomplices. They are all in this together. Remember. Republicans approve of this Coup. This would all STOP if they objected. Treat them accordingly!
“Good idea” and Musk don’t belong in the same paragraph
Why do Republicans want to kill Americans??
Because when seniors aren’t getting their social security in a month or so they won’t be worried about the path of the next god damned hurricane.
Bc A wiped out Gulf coast with building materials through the roof bc of tariffs will make all of that cleared land very very cheap. Ppl who can’t afford insurance will be suckers too They don’t really care about the lives.
I’d like to know how a weird rich guy is running the country while Trump plays golf.
Chaos. When they break it then they proclaim to fix it. Pretending they never broke it.
Scientists know that climate change is a fact
Because he thinks he can sell Starlink to do it.
