CNN has allowed former television show host Bill Nye to insist that Government's Office of Efficiency (DOGE) Head Elon Musk wants to replace the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather satellite with Starlink on Monday.
CBS News, which includes approximately 880 NOAA staff and many staff in the probationary stage, were fired Thursday. It has been reportedSome of the relaxed employees have a Protest Outside the agency's headquarters.

“Elon Musk and his peers were spinning. And I'm an engineer and we love engineering. I was working on breakdown effects and mode analysis of planes. So these guys found what they thought was a vulnerable part of this digital service office, the US government. So they got there, changed all their passwords and ruined everything as quickly as possible,” NYE told Kate Bolduan, host of “CNN News Central” on Diatribe for two and a half minutes. “And along that line, people – the system wasn't set up for it. But understand what's going on by firing people at NOAA. NOAA has a lot of satellites, and that's how these weather forecasts are made. When I was young, when I was a child, if a hurricane path was predicted within 60, 70 nautical miles, everyone was surprised. Well, now, it's within 5-6 miles of voyages, for the effectiveness of software and satellites, and the effectiveness of the people working on it.”

“Well, Musk has Starlink for this company. He suggests NOAA replaces private companies,” Nye continued. “And remember that for the young people who have been working on this, for those young people who have gone to digital service offices to destroy or ruin our electronic systems, this is fundamental corruption. This is corruption when they are trying to monopolize government services.”
Starlink is a company that offers satellite-based internet services and does not provide weather tracking services. According to on that web page.
President Donald Trump established Doge on January 20th Presidential Orderand entrusted the department with reducing federal waste and reducing the bureaucracy within the agency. The department is running Mass-Layoffs, claiming it has identified around $105 billion in savings, according to its savings. Website. Enforcement actions to reduce the size and scope of the federal government have been challenged in court, with federal judges recently blocking notes sent to federal agencies and directing thousands of probation workers to be denied.
“And say what you do about Woodrow Wilson a long time ago. He was a massive anti-monopoly guy, this is about to undo the robber baron. And if you read a book about Elon Musk and others, he has an entire section on his unrealistic goal setting,” Nye argued. “So he found this weakness, this weakness of the US government, misused it as quickly as possible, and now it leads to something else, and he's trying to get the public service back together. And this is good old corruption.” (Related: Former federal prosecutor tells Harris Faulkner why he predicts Doge will beat Lawfare)
“I believe sooner or later the court system will catch up with these people,” Nye continued. “And that's just – it's just – it's inefficient to talk about efficiency, destroy a system that was working, and try to replace it later.”
