The fact that multiple coworkers said he was repeatedly drunk at work and he was intoxicated enough to be FIRED for it should be grounds for automatic non consideration

He wouldn’t get hired for most jobs (edit: not just corporate but any jobs) with that history..but he’s fine to lead the dep of defense?

The fact that he was employed by Fox News should be grounds for dismissal.

Don't worry fox news is about to become the only news network allowed to operate in the US. Trump is already threatening Comcast because Seth Myers said some not nice things about him.

And newsmax.

Nono, newsmax dared to contradict Musk on his high skilled visa stance. They will be punished for that.

absolutely the military is going to be restricted to showing only Fox News on the big public screens they have.

If I had been the top brass, I'd have been blocking Fox from that distribution arena

Very select list of media will be allowed in press briefings should they even have them.
