CDC data are disappearing

This is part of a broader rolling catastrophe. Musk is evidently seizing control of the Office of Personnel Management

Nasa took down their applied sciences page and is evidently scrubbing the data

Lots of other data sets are disappearing too:

There is active discussion of this at https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/

I would just like to point out that Musk is the richest man in the world and is now directing critical areas of the U.S. government. Surely he doesn't have ulterior motives and is looking out for the average person?

As far as things like ending EV tax credits musk noted it would hurt his competitors more than him.

It’s all obvious corruption.

EV tax credits under the previous administration applied to almost every EV that wasn't a Tesla. They got Tesla its start, though, so the ladder must be pulled up.

Of course, carbon offsets are still a huge cash cow for Tesla, so Musk won't be eager to touch those.

And Tesla?

The tax credits were eventually reapplied to Tesla with the changes starting in 2023, but for a while, Tesla had crossed the sales limit so that the credit wasn't available.
