Accidentally is being a bit generous here. But I guess it goes back to journalists trying to avoid a libel suit. 🙄
Since its inception, DOGE has also accidentally fired scientists trying to prevent a national outbreak of bird flu, military veterans who run a national crisis line, and the people in charge of managing the country’s nuclear weapons.

There's a reason slander/libel suits are a thing, as is burden of proof. It's people like musk who want them to go away.

On topic, the CYA word is "allegedly". Accidentally is a completely different meaning.

Well, those firings were accidents, sort of, and you can tell so because they immediately tried to rehire the people they fired.
The trouble is that there are many kinds of failures that can lead to "accidents". In this case, it's more a case of reckless and callous disregard for the livelihood of employees and the nation rather than something more innocent.

Except a lot of them clearly were accidents because they fired the very people they were saying they hadn't fired. It's okay to point out their incompetence along with their malice.

It’s the 21st century Boston tea Party and we need more of it. Is my form of revolt actually just spreading stable diffusion generated media? I might actually be able to do that.

Why does everything feel like a South Park / Family Guy episode all of a sudden. I don't even think I know what's going on in my country's government anymore

After thinking about it again, you’re right, I tend to agree. Maybe accidentally needed to be expanded to describe the issue in more detail?
We need more of this. It'll super charge Trump's short sighted narcissism into getting rid of Elon.
This is patriotism unrivaled since our nation's revolution.

Text/Image to video that runs on commodity GPUs
I hope it's a high-five and then a solid bonus. That would be the correct action.
I cannot believe I approve of a deepfake video like this. Holy macaroni of civilian resistance.
I'm pretty sure this is just AI-generated and not a deep fake.

I think we are going through another episode of HyperNormalisation
I ought to watch this. Thanks for the mention
I think Trump and Musk made a tactical error in attacking the federal work force. About a third of them are veterans.
Is there a way I can watch the entire original video? You know... For science!
I passed by it on Reddit without any context whatsoever. I'll fish it up
