Gizmodo is a trash source, they are telling you what you want to hear.
These people were collateral from their scatter shot mass firing of all probationary employees. Breaking the agencies that regulate his businesses is the goal, but they aren't specifically targeting employees who are regulating his products.

Tomato, tomato.
lol.
There's a difference between blanket firing all probationary employees and putting specific names of people working on regulating his businesses on a list to fire.
If you can't make that distinction in a discussion of how this is bad, then you are going to be dismissed as biased and making false representations.
There's plenty of dirt being done without having to make shit up to make it sound worse. The truth matters. People who don't care about the truth got us into this mess and they certainly aren't going to get us out of it.
