"A federal probe into alleged workplace discrimination at Tesla, including "N-word, swastikas, threats, and nooses, on desks," has been abruptly axed by an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Jan. 21.

The order dismantled the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), the agency responsible for enforcing equal employment laws among federal contractors."

legal to be racist again I guess, not enforcing existing rules is the same as not having them, the favoritism on display here is just icing on this shit cake

fuck the facists

"see the real problem here was that he made his comments in a public space that could be linked back to himself, not the content of the posts per say, we're all just fine with the contents, he just shouldn't say those parts out loud yknow" -The Vice President of the Unites States

The word is coup. An unelected centa-billionare is re-shaping the federal government to suit his whims. No amount of Executive Orders actually allow this. The Supreme Court has been clear that the only means we have to stop this is impeachment which no one sees as a option because the Republican Party has been captured by the same special interests that led to this.

This is an underrated story I think. Elon Musk literally purchased the opportunity to fire the person primarily responsible for regulating Space X which is intimately tied to his other business Starlink. This is exactly why billionaires are dangerous, why allowing unlimited political spending by private parties is dangerous, and showcases the utterly broken state of our current regulation arm. Fuck Fascist Elon Musk and all the people who enabled him to do this.
