      Maryland’s a blue state, so they’ll likely be insulated from the worst consequences.

        Depends. Maryland is home for a ton of federal workers. Lots of money on the table which trickles down to other businesses

              Don’t worry, if that happens, they’ll just blame the evil Democrats in the state for doing it to them. Perfect blame distribution.

        Maryland is a corporate blue state. The beatings will continue until workers stop protesting.

      At the meeting for employees with concerns about the ‘efficiency’ drive

      Elon: “ok, anyone with the time to come to a meeting like this is clearly not busy enough, you’re fired”
