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.
Sounds like those dogs should start letting bombs through to me.
Oh well I'm sure the cabinet secretary who oversees TSA will get right on that oh wait she loves killing dogs too
Sick fuck..
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.
That’s definitely something a malignant narcissist would say
Yes let’s start starving animals now. Great job Republiscum.
Not surprising sadly. This is the same man that labeled people relying on the government for a safety net to fucking live parasites.
I am one of those people that is part of the parasite class. I look forward to being able to get teamed up with a doggo in the camp. That actually kinda makes me feel a little better if that would happen actually.
What a freaking shitshow.
When I import things to the US through work, they always get stopped by Explosive Detection Dogs, at a cost of around 300 quid per pallet. I wonder if that will stop or drastically reduce. Certainly doesn't seem like a good idea if you want to stop things coming in that shouldn't be.
Can't keep a bs trade war on fentanyl, if dogs are stopping the fentanyl.
Elon orders government. They said it out loud.
There is a certain type of person that gets extra upset when dogs are harmed. Make no mistake, I'm still very pro-feeding dogs. This is a fucked up event, yet events like these always bring a special type of "animal lover" outrage. If dog food budget is the Elon thing making you angriest today, then your priorities are out of whack.
Especially so if you eat cows, chickens and pigs, they're all animals. Just so tired of the selective outrage.
Found the vegan.
Relevant TV trope : https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KickTheDog
Dude I thought we all agreed that you can’t just drop links to TV Tropes all willy nilly like that. I have things to do today
Tvtropes will ruin your life!
Stop feeding Elon...
He has enough body fat to survive until the heat death of the universe anyway.
Every time I read something about the USA in the last few weeks I think "Wow that's shitty. How can it get worse?"
In short order, the answer to my question is served up. I find it worse when the victims cannot speak or stand up for themselves. Though horrible things are happening to a wide range of victims at least they can protest, take action etc. The dogs cannot. I only hope that the handlers make sure the welfare of these animals is taken care of despite the order. They do not deserve to be pawns in the MAGA game, but then no one does.
Same here. Since 2016.
There's no such thing as rock bottom. It can always get worse.
Except: death. Total annihilation. Planet im- or exploding. That's the only actual rock bottom there is.
Yes, but is it instant death, like a plane crash, because the FAA got defunded, or a slow excruciating death because your Healthcare was cut? Or by dehydration in some internment camp because you liked a tweet by AOC?
Slow starvation is a popular selection.
Turns out rock bottom has a basement.
This might blow up in his face. In more than one way.
They want chaos to justify the suspension of all civil rights. Ask me how I know.

Failing to feed and look after animals you are responsible of is animal abuse and illegal.

All that's going to happen is the people who the dogs live with will end up buying them food. As if they would starve a member of their family.
I thought that we already established that in Magastan "illegal" is only for poor people.
And abuse is a key part of the plan.
and critics. dont forget critics
Having dog handlers pay for the dogs they need for work is totally in line with having teachers pay for teaching tools.
I have an idea for what we could feed those dogs.
I'm not sure whether that would be healthy for dogs.

That didn't sound like the best idea ever for someone using jets so often. That could blow up in his face.

You can't put food "on hold".
Clearly you can
You can but the consequences can get pretty extreme.
What will actually happen is, the dog handlers are now forced to pay for food and vet visits out of their own paychecks. And Elon can claim to have saved a couple thousand dollars, until the lawsuits start.
Why would he care about the lawsuits? It won't ever come out of his pocket. It just becomes someone else's problem.
