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 hijacking once every 5.6 DAYS.

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
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..
Are we planning 9/11.2? Do we need to get bombs on board of airplanes, or what is the genius in this?
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.

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.

That’s definitely something a malignant narcissist would say
Yes let’s start starving animals now. Great job Republiscum.
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.

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!
Elon orders government. They said it out loud.
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.
Da, tovarisch
As a Canadian I welcome their national security cuts.
Will you reclaim it for the crown. Can we agree to name half of it new Canada and the other half new Australia I'm sure we would lend some troops to help out our Canadian friends in their conquests for the crown.
So long as we can rename New York back to New Amsterdam, people will like it better that way
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.
I'd take the dog home and keep it as a pet. Stop bringing it to work. No bomb dogs at the air ports.

Having dog handlers pay for the dogs they need for work is totally in line with having teachers pay for teaching tools.
What an absolute cunt.
Failing to feed and look after animals you are responsible of is animal abuse and illegal.
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

Someone should make him watch this
With our luck, he'll wind up also refusing to feed Jim Belushi.
His career would have done that after a year or two if his brother hadn't died
