I know there are staffers there that make much more convincing pseudo-Trump posts. This makes me wonder what's up with them. Helping someone out in the struggle consuming the backstabbing crowd in the President's absence? Fired? Run for the hills?

Yup. The companies may well not know why, though I think they do. This kind of degradation was well known when I was a grad student studying much smaller-scale AI decades ago. I'd guess the companies knew but were hoping they could cash out before it got really bad.
