Summary
Elon Musk’s staffers entered NOAA and the Department of Commerce without clearance, raising concerns over budget cuts and downsizing.
Project 2025, a conservative plan linked to former Trump officials, calls for dismantling NOAA, citing its climate research as harmful to U.S. prosperity.
Critics warn such cuts could impact weather forecasting, ocean conservation, and fisheries.
NOAA declined to comment, while experts fear an aggressive strategy to weaken the agency before legal challenges can halt changes.
Id love to see a Cat 5 wipe out his Maralago with no warning, while NOAA just shrugs.
Naw, he will just use his magic Sharpie and redirect it to Mexico.
Trump would just allocate all of FEMA’s funds to rebuild it out of solid gold while leaving everyone else affected by the hurricane in the dirt.
