A federal IT staffer filed a complaint about DOGE, then went public. Shortly after Elon Musk boosted a post calling his claims false, his brake lines were cut. Now he’s suing for defamation.

If you park on the street, and it’s level, might not notice until you’re up the street a bit.

    Lol now I'm imagining someone cutting the break on an incline and the person trying to pull onto the road starts falling backwards

    I mean. Maybe. But in all actuality that doesn't happen easily on automatic cars because of the way automatic transmissions are built. Parking pawl holds the transmission while it's parked. Then the valve body system and the torque converter work together to keep the car moving in the direction it's geared in. So in drive you'd be geared to move forward and so on.
