They don't like the NIH, the CDC, or the Human Services part of HHS, that's for sure. Hell, they don't like the NIH so much that they're willing to overlook the fact that the basic biomedical research infrastructure in this country is essentially reliant on it.

They're trying pretty hard to kill a large part of the scientific research happening in the US right now. They're messing with NIH and NSF grants, the cap on indirect costs is likely going to decimate research at universities. And even if some or most of these drastic changes are reversed, the enormous uncertainty they're introducing will likely reduce future investments in scientific fields.

> I’m pretty sure Musk and Trump like science and they reviewed HHS.

Trump and Musk are poised to destroy science research in America. Actual scientists are all scrambling to save their jobs and research.

You’re pretty sure Trump likes science? LOL. Please.

Ask him how dropping magnets in water stops them working

Or how injecting disinfectants like bleach might help get rid of COVID viruses. (Actually, he's right -- it would probably kill the virus; the only problem is that you'd be dead, so maybe not the best and brightest idea.)

Also, plastic straws don't harm the environment. Oooh, science!

he likes science so much that he watches the eclipse directly in the eyes
