"A federal probe into alleged workplace discrimination at Tesla, including "N-word, swastikas, threats, and nooses, on desks," has been abruptly axed by an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Jan. 21.

The order dismantled the Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), the agency responsible for enforcing equal employment laws among federal contractors."

legal to be racist again I guess, not enforcing existing rules is the same as not having them, the favoritism on display here is just icing on this shit cake

fuck the facists

Does this mean they can't enforce the dei discrimination now?

Starlink is all that matters now. This is what will give him real power and control.

But yes, Tesla is going down.

Oh, look—another day, another corporate felon wriggling free because the feds just shut down their own watchdog. Trump’s order buried a decade of racial harassment claims under Musk’s shiny EV hype train. Swastikas on desks? Who cares! Now the OFCCP’s corpse is just another trophy in Musk’s “efficiency” crusade—Tesla’s factory floor stays a playground for bigots.

Musk’s DOGE—a glorified tech frat—rummages through Treasury data like it’s their private GitHub. Meanwhile, workers choking on hate speech get told to “file a complaint” into the void. Democracy? More like delete-key governance, where oligarchs scrub accountability with a stroke of Trump’s pen.

But sure, let’s clap for the “cost-cutting.” Nothing screams “efficiency” like letting billionaires privatize justice.

Nothing at all suspicious about that

to Kill Federal Agency

I got to here, misread agency as agent, and was barely even surprised that he'd started exercising his king powers SCOTUS gave him.

"We investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong."

Shouldn't use the word "kill" because it might just be true.
