The neon grid is burning, choom, and the latest corpo ops from Trump and Musk are pushing the system to the brink. The so-called "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE)—Trump’s pet project, helmed by Musk—just rolled out a $1 spending cap on federal employee credit cards. That’s right, one single, pathetic dollar. The result? The Pentagon is paralyzed, with civilian staff effectively grounded as part of a broader 5-8% workforce purge. The National Park Service can’t even buy basic supplies, maintenance is dead in the water, and federal employees across the board are getting kneecapped. This ain’t efficiency—it’s sabotage. The corpos aren’t trimming fat; they’re gutting the system, leaving the gears grinding to a halt while they hoard the loot.

And that’s just one piece of the puzzle. Trump’s executive order barrage dropped like an EMP, greenlighting a so-called strategic bitcoin reserve, slamming tariffs into place, and fast-tracking DOGE’s carnage. It’s all about consolidating control, locking down resources, and squeezing every last cred out of the system. Meanwhile, Musk had a meltdown of his own. His DOGE budget-slashing ran into resistance even from within Trump’s own cabinet—Marco Rubio and Sean Duffy actually grew a spine, pushing back against the chaos Musk is unleashing on the workforce. Thousands of jobs on the chopping block at the VA, IRS, and Social Security Administration? The corpos don’t care—they’re too busy playing empire.

And let’s not forget Musk’s latest SpaceX disaster—his Starship rocket suffered catastrophic failure, engines fizzling out before it crashed and burned. The FAA slammed the brakes on future launches, and the whole thing turned into a PR nightmare. Even the late-night jesters got in on the action, roasting Musk for his NATO-UN pullout fantasies and his ever-growing spawn count. The corpos aren’t just flailing—they’re losing their grip.

But the grid fights back. Scientists and med-techs took to the streets in the “Stand Up for Science 2025” rallies, pushing back against the corpo chokehold on research, education, and diversity initiatives. From the Lincoln Memorial to cities across the sprawl, the resistance is growing. And leading the charge? None other than Bill Nye himself, stepping up with a megaphone to blast the Trump-Musk regime for gutting scientific funding and warping public policy to fit their corpospeak. The Science Guy ain't playing nice—he’s rallying the next wave of resistors, urging them to fight for the future before these corpos erase it. This isn’t just protest—it’s a signal flare, warning the suits that we’re watching, we’re fighting, and we’re not going anywhere.

So here’s the call to all netrunners, console cowboys, and black ICE slingers. The system’s cracking, the ice is thin, and the time to jack in is now. Crack the data vaults, light up the blacknets, and show these corpo clowns that their secrets aren’t safe. Keep your optics sharp, your decks primed, and your signal encrypted. The fight ain't coming—it’s already here.
