warnings from former former twitter employees to federal employees. now about elon musk's doge agenda. what has tear it all down approach feels like from the people who know it, and usaid may be in the middle of that very process. bull in a china shop approach right now, the newest orders that have thousands of government workers, as sarah and david were just talking about packing up and heavy. >> rain in. >> southern california, sparking new flooding fears and fears of mudslides in the very same places, still recovering from those devastating wildfires the boeing 747 has crashed in the lockerbie area. >> trying to find out the why of it became everything. >> nothing is what it seems in the lockerbie story. >> lockerbie, the bombing of pan am flight 103, february 16th on cnn. >> patients who have sensitive teeth. >> but also want whiter teeth. they have to make a choice. >> one versus the other. >> sensodyne clinical. white provides two shades whiter teeth, as well as providing. >> 24 over. >> seven sensitivity protection. patients are going to love t

and so there was no twitter allowed. and so usaid pull office operations do create a, a company called as engineer, which is, it was like it was a twitter knock off if they would then activate what they, what they called smart mobs. they would, they would switch the, our, their mobs, they would, they would switch the items and they would selectively target news distribution of, of messages to, to users on the, on the basis of their political proclivities in order to get them to take to the streets in in violent street protests and over overthrow the government usa, i didn't knew it was match lake and he did everything it could to cover that up, but essentially moved money through the cayman islands through falls companies. anything it could do to not show where the money for this cuban twitter was coming from. and in fact, associated press a, he actually did an investigation on this, where they essentially said the documents it was processing. was that to say, let's cover up our involvement. that will be absolutely no me

we saw it at twitter as well. who even knows what the legality of that is coming in and evaluating, you know, my team's code, other people's code. you know, we were we had to do performances of loyalty, of literally printing out code, physically standing in line like we were about to be scolded by a teacher and sitting there and having to justify our teams. and i'm hearing parallel stories, frankly, of, you know, multi-decade federal employees having to sit in front of a child and explain to a child why they shouldn't be fired. not only is that demoralizing, it's insulting. it's actually insulting to the legions of federal employees who do hard work every day. >> no question about it. i wanted to ask you, because you have so much expertise. i mean, there are reports that elon musk's doge crew is now feeding sensitive federal data into ai systems to help target spending cuts. i mean, as an expert on ai, what kinds of and most people don't entirely understand what it does yet. what kinds of risks does that pose, in

for us at twitter. dramatics and truly the theater, the theatrics of, you know, saying there's 120 hour work weeks, one has to ask how much work is actually getting done if nobody knows what's going on. >> that's such a good point. there's a lot of theatrics here. i mean, i mentioned some of the pieces of advice you've been putting out there on blue sky and other places, but one piece of but what are the other actions for workers, for federal workers who are watching right now, they're trying to survive a musk takeover. maybe they haven't tuned in yet. to all of your amazing advice, what should they be doing to survive or make this less painful? >> yeah, that's a great question. so following up on the blue sky post, i'm actually working with some former and current federal employees, all of whom unfortunately need to remain anonymous, to work on a series of articles on what people should be doing. and some of these articles are also written by critical tech thinkers. organizations like stop spying, and

the twitter employees similarly had to make this decision. some of the employees decided to stay with the company, only to get terminated just weeks later. the night before thanksgiving, a bunch of employees who had said that they were committing to elon's vision of being hardcore, then got terminated a couple of weeks later with no severance offered at all. so there are just no good answers here. >> obviously, people remember that and must be using it to guide their own decisions here. a former senior employee at twitter telling cnn what's happening now fits with how musk operates, saying that musk once told him directly if you're not adding things back in afterwards, then you weren't cutting hard enough to start with. that's one thing for a private entity. is it the right approach for a government to cut into the bone? >> yeah, yeah. no, absolutely it is. it's very scary. it's terrifying what's happening because not only are these employees being put in this very difficult, very difficult situation, i am worried about our federal government

when musk took over twitter. cnn's clare duffy is with us now on this.clare, i know you've been talking to former twitter employees. what are they telling you? >> yeah, brianna. >> a lot of former twitter employees are having deja vu now, watching what elon musk is doing within the federal government. one of the most striking things, of course, that we've seen musk do at the government level is just the speed with which he has tried to cut costs, cut staff, cut entire departments. you'll remember that when he took over twitter, it was just days before he had laid off the company's senior executive team, and 50% of the company's staff and one former tweet, twitter senior employee, told me that this is in keeping with musk's sort of algorithm for change, the first step of which this employee said is to question every requirement. assume that every requirement that anybody ever gives you is dumb. question it. eliminate it wherever possible, and essentially ask, do we even need this thing? should we and should we have it to begin with and then start cutting

are they from like bay area, tesla, bay area, twitter? where are they from? yeah, they are speaking of things we here in the bay area have seen before elon musk coming into a company orn this case, the government bringing some of his minions with him, young talented techies. we've seen it before, but like you just said, the rest of the country is like, wait a minute, 24 year olds in government positions. but this is how musk does it. they're very loyal to him. they are talented. a lot of them are engineers. and much like he brought people from spacex and tesla over to twitter when he took that over, he's now bringing some of these employees, people who are loyal to him into the government right now, and doge and all these agencies that he's trying to really trim and change. final question. the democrats concerns about elon muskk havg access now to the treasury department's payment system, are those concerns valid? i think they are. there are privacy concerns here, job concerns here. and just sort of the way things have always gone, not to say that they have t

when musk took over twitter, he repeatedly crashed that platform.t's not a big deal if your app doesn't load one day, but it's a huge deal if you don't know whether your plane is going to crash or not. if we don't fight back, elon musk will take dollars away from our public schools, our healthcare, social security, and are safety systems, and use those dollars to line his own pockets. we are here fighting for a country that is by and for the people, not by and for the ultra-rich. that is the core of the fight. and while this is, of course, an event being held by the progressive caucus, whether you are progressive, liberal, independent, no matter your political party and background, i think this is a fight where all americans can agree that your elected representatives should be representing you, your government should not be run as a corrupt --grift-mill for your villainy. this is a national emergency. in the aftermath of the election, many democrats needed to grieve and to think. but that time has ended. the time ended when elon musk took control o

playbook we've seen play out in elon musk's twitter takeover. you know, down to the email subject line, fork in the road, which is something that government employees got the other day. you know, that's a very similar email to the one that was sent to twitter employees offering them buyouts in the weeks after he bought the company. you know, we see the same players as well. folks like steve davis, kind of one of elon musk's right hand men, one of his lieutenants who is in charge of cost cutting. you have steve davis's wife, nicole hollander, who is also at gsa overseeing buildings and real estate, which is something she did at twitter. um, you know, it's very similar to what's going on and what's happened in the past. i also think about something like a technique that they're using to zero out budgets called zero based budgeting. so you know, with elon, it's not like he is deploying a whole new set of tricks here. we've we've seen this before at at tesla and spacex. and of course the twitter takeover. >> you know vitoria to ryan's point, i remem

and so there was no twitter allowed. and so usaid pulled off this operation to create a, a company called as engineer, which is, it was like it was a twitter knock off at once. they had a critical mass of users in the platform and made enough support from other civil society institutions that were, that were being funded by usaid and state entity at the time that they would then activate what they, what they called smart mobs. they would, they would switch the, our, their mobs, they would, they would switch the items and they would selectively target news distribution of, of messages to, to users on the, on the basis of their political proclivities in order to get them to take to the streets in in violent street protests and over overthrow their government basically the same be able to pull off the same thing that was happening the every spring would do it in cuba as ask your usa. i didn't knew it was metal lake and it's everything it could to cover that up, but essentially moved money through the cayman islands. 2 of th

they moved into twitter and did this. and right now what they're trying to do is essentially, you know, be the genius bar for the country right now. we're going to fix all your systems. now, a lot of our i.t. systems need fixing, but they need to be done legally and safely. one of the big dangers is, is hacking by foreign governments, et cetera.. but you've got a private citizen who was not elected with his fingers in the in the i.t. system of this government. >> privacy concerns, not just privacy. yeah. well, yeah. i mean, in addition to what you just said about hacking, but i also think they're one of the things that they're doing is trying to overtake hr so that they can manage all of the entire government's 2 million workforce out of the eisenhower executive office building. >> no, no, they're doing it from the headquarters of twitter, from the. >> headquarters of twitter. so so there's that. but there are real privacy concerns for all of these employees. but also, let's talk about this payment system at the treasury

we might be over control of twitter.s him able to see somepistures ef him arriving at twitter ho. famously arrivingatlwitter hq. he is, he has sing and he there he is, he has that sing and he said as he entered, let that sink said as'he'entefed; let that sink. in said as'he'enterad; let that sink. in that said as'he'enterad; let that sink in that e—mail, he said employees, work �*employees, work longer �* employees, work longer hours twitter employees, work longer hours or you should quit job. or you should quit this job. swann over at the new jonathan swann over at the new york times has had sort of times has had some sort of colour of what has been fascinating colour of what has been going on. he has been quoting walter the biographer of elon isaacson, the biographer of elon musk, saying that he has entered the —— demon mode which is what leon —— demon mode which is what he was like he took over twitter. was like when he took over twitter. he has office in the west wing he has an office in the west wing and the main is

twitter. right. like it's crazy that like, this is this is the motivation that he has, and this is the outcome that we get with tens of millions of americans hanging in the balance. >> okay. but there's a surprising amount of people that are saying usaid, that foreign country. how does that impact me or the fact that head start, right, the child care program that now doesn't have access to federal money after donald trump's temporary funding freeze? why aren't more people outraged? it's as though we've lost our empathy gene in the american people. not that, oh, you have to only care for others. but if society thrives, we all thrive. but right now it seems like. well, you know, if i don't need child care, that's not my problem. go fish. >> we are in such a deep hole of antisocial cultural norms that our information ecosystem is making so much worse. but i think the idea that we're going to try to explain the benefit of usaid and the context of soft power, and how this keeps all of us safe in a

in twitter's case it was being fired.iggest difference here and what i wanted to hammer home in this morning's tech newsletter is that with twitter he was doing this with the privately-held company that he bought with private money, right? this is the u.s. government the ramifications of what he is doing to cut the government is going to affect all of us as citizens here. and it doesn't necessarily strike me as while the tactics are the same the stakes are much higher here, i think. caroline: they are, but some people like it. palantir, the cto, was on the call saying palantir's real petition is a lack of accountability and they think doge is going to bring transparency to government. even though it is a wrecking ball, could have posited -- positive impacts for companies here? kurt: i think in much the same way he succeeded in cutting costs at twitter i have no doubt he will cut costs at the u.s. government and find things that, quite frankly, all of us would be scratching our heads assange, we were paying for what? i hav

but also like, you know, if twitter goes down for a day or two, no big deal. if the us payment systems go down, if the center for medicare and medicaid services, i mean, the risk appetite is so different here between musk, who likes a lot of risk and the most vital systems that that that mitigate against risk in the federal government. >> i mean, it's orders of magnitude. i've basically spent the last two days talking to people who work in government it who understand these systems, and they're all different. but the thing that they have in common is they're incredibly complex. they're complex for a reason. there's a lot of security baked into that complexity to make sure people don't have access privileges to information, or to make sure that there's audit logs that allow people to see if you access something you're not supposed to. all of them to a person are absolutely terrified because they know the scale of this. and they also know that meddling with a certain part of the system causes a cascade into other parts of the system. you know, the you mentioned

that is a model musk used in twitter.size of twitter, many people said it could not survive and it did, he reframed it. >> steve: i've been thinking about it, it is unclear if this stuff is legal or illegal, they'll figure it out. it will be a while. in the meantime, there could be tens of thousands of government employees decide to take the buyouts, rather than get laid off, by making it voluntary, it puts it on them. on them, he said. >> jonathan: that is right. trump in his first term felt he was stymied by agencies resisting changes. he structured second term to avoid that, this is clearly part of his plan to defibalate the federal government, shock it into a new shape, smaller more efficient shape. that is going to cause problems and you are seeing it right now. some ways, this is type of ops opposition trump wants, the effort to reframe government. >> steve: he's ambitious, has an agenda that is expensive. if you extend tax cuts and no tax on tips, that has a it is cost. elon musk is doing his dirty work, going out

he has posted things on twitter.ent white men must be in charge if you want things to work. competent white men must be in charge in january. he's done. january 6th, tweets ibram kendi. this is the man who is a black intellectual and intellectual about that. does anti-racism work, needs to learn his place and take a knee to maga, learn his proper role in our society. kendi is black, tim scott, black senator from south carolina, needs to learn his place and take a knee to maga. blm black lives matter must take a knee to maga. they must learn their place. kay cole james of heritage foundation, a conservative woman who was running the heritage foundation, needs to learn her natural place and take a knee to maga. so this man has named black people liberal and conservative, including pro-trump republicans, and said these black people need to learn their place and that competent white men must be in charge. if you want things to work that guys at state, any issues with that? >> well, and not just. >> that. he's at. >> stat

this time, it's not twitter that's reached a fork in the road, it's america. about a potential "flood" of cheaper chinese models coming into the uk. they're worried about the government's decision to remove tariffs on imports of chinese non—folding e—bikes , as our business correspondent, megan 0wen, now reports. on e—bikes in recent years. but now a decision to scrap tariffs on non—folding e—bikes since brexit, has been met with criticism by uk manufacturers. we were promised by the government that there would be protection of anti—dumping duties, put in place only four or five years ago, and now they have just completely turned around on that. it is a real shame for our industry specifically. the body responsible for reviewing these taxes said the decision to scrap them could save consumers £200 each. but the owner of this london shop has concerns about a flood of imports. whilst we welcome the changes to the regulations from the government which will hopefully make electric bikes more accessible and affordable to a wider audience, in the medium term we are

this is. >> not tesla. >> this is. >> not twitter.workers get their paychecks, whether we get medicare, whether we get overtime, whether we get home safely from the job. >> organizers of many of today's protests are planning for more demonstrations next month, hoping to keep up the energy to oppose the trump administration and these increasingly reckless actions. senator chris murphy is one of the democratic leaders who has been out there on the streets with people, and he has a dire warning about how quickly trump's demolition is progressing. senator murphy joins me next. >> safelite repair. safelite replace. >> nobody likes. >> a cracked windshield. >> but at least you can go. >> to safelite. >> com and schedule a fix in minutes. >> can't confirm. >> very easy. >> safelite can come to you for free, and our highly trained techs can replace your windshield right at your home. windshield right at your home. >> safelite repair. replace. if you have bladder leaks when you laugh or cough- like we did- there's a treatment that can help: bu

this started on twitter or x. congressman khanna accused musk of violating the constitution with his efforts to support president trump. musk fired back with a short message that we can't really show you on tv, or at least air on tv. that's when congressman khanna turned to tiktok, using musk's own words against him. hey everyone, guess what? elon musk called me a dick today on twitter. let me be clear if i have to be the biggest dick in congress, i will be. if it means standing up for the constitution. and there you have it. the silicon valley congressman tells our scott budman. he's undeterred and will continue to stand up for his party and his constituents. i had said i was open to working initially on cuts to wasteful spending, but you can't be an individual and stop payments that are for medicaid or stop payments that are helping kids go to school and working class neighborhoods, or stop funding for families who have special needs kids. and one individual can't do that. that's unconstitutional. is there a way

did he that at twitter. he said he couldn't fire all those people at twitter.id he that and twitter became more efficient and the operations continued unimpeded. and that was against all the predictions that twitter would literally shut down because it needed every one of those or most of those employees. so, musk is coming in here and, yeah, the terror alert in washington is quite astonishing. but this idea that this is a danger to democracy is rather odd. he -- you have a president who just ran on a pledge to shrink the government. to look for waste. he brought in someone from the outside for a reason. because past pledges by presidents have gone nowhere. in terms of changing the way washington functions. so, he brought in this guy who operates with a different approach. and, look, the truth is they want people to leave some of these positions. and as i said before the fact is if you throw a badger into a crowded car people are going to get out. musk is that badger. he threw them in that car and they are trying to change the way government is composed and is

and i took to twitter. musk then fired back crudely with a tweet of his own. and i don't take it personally. i mean, look, he's, you know, said something. he feels like he's trying to save taxpayers money. i'm just trying to be standing up for the constitution. and in fact, congressman khanna took to tiktok with a follow up message to musk. hey everyone, guess what? elon musk called me a dick today on twitter. and yes, we had to edit this one too. let me be clear if i have to be the biggest in congress, i will be. if it means standing up for the constitution. i think that tells us a lot about where we are in 2025. political analyst nolan higdon says in the new political gamesmanship, the medium is the message, and musk owns the medium, and he's able to tell a sitting congressperson not to be a d word in a public space. so this isn't just also a transfer of power. there's also an erosion of democracy here. all right. as we all blush, for the record, i asked congressman khanna, who represents silicon valley, if he and musk can move beyond all these insults. he s

that was a pretty crazy action, then last night musk got on twitter space and essentially said he wastting down usaid. congress created usaid and not clear that it's something elon musk is allowed to do. a lot of questions and just a ton of chaos in the federal government right now. jackie: what do we know about who is aiding elon musk at this point in some of these efforts? it's not the first time he's stormed into an organization and taken it over. talk to us a little bit about the parallels perhaps that twitter has and what we can kind of expect on this front, granted it is government. max: absolutely. this is very similar to the period immediately following elon musk's purchase of twitter where he brought in this very small crew of loyalists, a combination of people who had worked with him for a really long time as well as 20ish year old intern types who are doing all sorts of stuff the email that went out to federal workers, subject line, fork in the road, trump sent nearly an identical email to twitter employees before laying off many of them. i will say, there are huge differen

meanwhile, new reporting on elon musk trying to take his twitter game plan and apply it to the entiree has stormed into washington. the new york times reporting that musk shows up in person at these agencies and is trying to sort of twitter fight the federal government, installing some of the very same executives who ultimately cut not a third or half, but actually 80% of that company's staff, millions of federal workers received an unusual offer this week that, again, like so much that we're covering, might be part messaging, part bluster, given the rules on federal workforces, but also could matter, they were told in language eerily reminiscent of twitter layoffs, that they'd reached a, quote, fork in the road, and they were being encouraged to resign and get some longer payment through about the fall if they did. indeed, it was the same quote subject line must use according to the times, in those twitter layoffs. now, researchers reported that cutting that much staff, while it certainly saved money, came with costs and a tech company, is way simpler than the entire federal governme

and it's not the people that replied to my posts on this story on twitter saying, well, if it was 5000s and they must not have been too busy the past couple of years. no, it's not that. it's just somebody who gets a phone call and says, hey, can you go interview nicole? she might have some information about somebody who was at the riot on january 6th. hey, can you go, nicole? you're on the swat team, and today we're going after a drug dealer. yesterday was a terrorist. today it was somebody who sprayed a bear spray in a cop's face on january 6th. that's your job. you're taking that as a court authorized search warrant, a court authorized arrest warrant. you're going out there and doing your thing. and people were really concerned. towards the end of last week, it's abated a little bit. not a whole heck of a lot. both current and former agents, former agents who may be in other law enforcement capacities, who may have their clearances, who may have jobs that still help this country's security. now thinking, what's next? i'm walking around with a baby grand piano over my head. am i going

twitter, by the way, did the same thing.mp sued, and marker berg, who runs parent company meta, has agreed to pay $25 million to settle the lawsuit that trump filed after january 6th. almost all of that staggering sum going toward the future trump presidential library. and abc settled a trump lawsuit against the network and star anchor george steph mop louse who repeatedly said candidate trump had been found liable for rape when the verdict in the civil defamation suit was that it was sexual abuse. and a decision made a by disney chair bob iger, abc agreed to pay trump $16 million. now, does all this litigation send an intimidating message to media organizations about challenging trump? of course. maybe journalists need to think about why some of these cases look so so bad. i'm howard kurtz and this is "mediabuzz." ♪ howard: when the president moved quickly to impose 25% tariffs on canada and mexico, the media reaction cutting across party lines was divided. >> it has been a humiliating 48 hours for president trump on this t

the e—mail subject was "a fork in the road", and musk claims within six months, twitter�*s headcounthis time, it's not twitter that's reached a fork in the road, it's america. after threatening to do so earlier this week. president trump said he was bringing in the order because of south africa's new land law, which he says is violating people's rights, and also because of its international court case accusing israel of genocide. accuracy and fails to recognise the history of apartheid. south africa's president has not yet responded to the order but earlier this week alluded to threats made by the us in a speech to the nation. we are witnessing the rise of nationalism, protectionism, the pursuit of narrow interest, and decline �* common we will not be deterred. and we will not be bullied. four british families who are suing tiktok, for the wrongful death of their children, have accused the social media platform of having "no compassion". in an interview for the upcoming sunday with laura kuennsberg programme, they say they're challenge on tiktok in 2022. here's frances read. four chi

yeah, actually, on twitter people pretend that i'm the only critic. this there's an old rhetorical move which is try to diminish your opposition by kind of making it sound like it's person. so we're various reasons, partly because i'm vocal and hard to intimidate, so forth. on twitter, i often in these battles and people of portray it as if i'm the only person who's worried about this stuff, which is of course totally true. and other people, for example, adrian, have been far more articulate about certain of it than i have. so i mean, in fact, there are lots of people that are worried there's lots of excellent research, the limitations of bieber, rihanna example has done brilliant work. so, you know, it's a fun fiction to say, oh, gary marcus is the antichrist and he's just a hater and whatever, but it's silly. and another rhetorical move is to pretend that i hate aei, whereas i hate generative ai and i want make a better i want to say i'm not saying boycott a.i. forever i'm saying boycott this stuff that sucks so we can have something that works. but

it's not just does twitter does the like button on twitter function or my direct messages protected, which, you know, we could be concerned about. but i mean, this is like, are you going to get your social security check? you know, are you going to be able to go to the dmv and get your license? is your passport going to get renewed? are the airport workers going to be there in customs and immigration? i mean, there's all sorts of things that go into the federal government that you don't. i think when you think of off the top of your head is it's a bunch of bureaucrats, paper pushers who walk into an office every day and just, you know, are checking boxes. there's probably some of those folks that that are probably not necessary to the federal government, but there's so much more going on there. if you were going to do this surgically and effectively, how would you go about it? >> well, i'd copy the way we did it in 1993 through 2000in the clinton administration. we had teams that looked at every single agency. we looked at what was going well, what was going badly. we offered buyouts
