Summary
A leaked TSA email suggests funding for bomb-sniffing dogs has been halted under Elon Musk.
The email states that vet visits, kenneling, and food are “put on hold” until further guidance.
TSA deploys over 1,000 canine teams, with training costing $33,000 per dog.
The funding freeze contradicts Trump’s “tough on crime” stance and coincided with the White House celebrating “K9 Veterans Day.”
The last time a major terrorist attack happened, the government got expansion of powers.
This is preparing for the next 9/11, reichstag-fire style.
And the dems will approve the Enabling Act.
He’s starving dogs!
Yeah Elon Musk is a sick fuck, though lets be real. We all knew he wasn’t above something like this, this is just proving what we all knew about him. It’s still horrible though.
This is going to be the thing that gets white people off the train. Being mean to the dogs.
i’d wager good money they ignore it
This is some unhinged shit. Is it the drugs? Is it the Putin?
Putin. Not even once kids.
If it’s not already a thing we should start a live tracker of Elon’s current or last known whereabouts. For academic purposes.
Like the Elon flight tracker?
Yes, but I was thinking of a system with more … granularity and resolution. Maybe take the flight tracker and add to it, like noting the color of the vehicle he got in and its plate number. For research. Let’s say it’s to help calculate his efficiency with tax payer dollars.
Hoping to kick off a war when a bomb does slip through the cracks.
So how does it go down when a moral human is forced to respond to this? Curious to get a scenario where an unelected bureaucrat tells you to ignore congress?
I pray everyday for a poetic Mussolini ending for Musk
Nah, he’s cutting corners in bomb detecting dogs, it’s gonna be a Carrero Blanco 2 electric boogaloo
Beyond animal cruelty, you NEED bomb sniffing dogs! Holy shit! Do they realize that now potential bombers would have a huge upper hand in carrying explosives into airports? Why don’t they say ‘well those metal detectors and xray machines are too fancy’ and go back to the late 60s when there was a hijackings once every 5.6 DAYS.
Why don’t they say ‘well those metal detectors and xray machines are too fancy’
I’m sure they’ll cut maintenance budgets too, it just takes x-ray machines longer to starve
Paging D.B Cooper.
Oh well I’m sure the cabinet secretary who oversees TSA will get right on that oh wait she loves killing dogs too
Musk: The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy. The empathy exploit. They’re exploiting a bug in Western civilization, which is the empathy response. So, I think, you know, empathy is good, but you need to think it through and not just be programmed like a robot.

Fucking psychopath.
quite literally
That’s definitely something a malignant narcissist would say
Sounds like those dogs should start letting bombs through to me.
Elon orders government. They said it out loud.
Yes let’s start starving animals now. Great job Republiscum.
Sick fuck…
