Termination notices were sent to employees at the Department of Education, the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and the General Services Administration (GSA), Reuters first reported on Thursday.

“The Agency finds that you are not fit for continued employment because your ability, knowledge and skills do not fit the current needs, and your performance has not been adequate to justify further employment with the Agency,” according to letters sent to at least 45 probationary employees at the SBA.

Hey, federal workers, do not take the bait. It is not you, it's them. Don't believe that you're not good enough. They're trying to make you feel less than so that you don't get pissed and fight.

I love that we are acknowledging that Musk is the puppet master. I would be ashamed to be the VP of the USA and have less power than Musk's son.

He just cut the defense budget, he's either going to double it after he buys up all of the stock or get luigied by his own defense department.
