Is the dismantling of CIA a bad thing?

Fundamentally transforming the CIA has been a goal of some conservatives.

It's not "the dismantling", it's the "bringing in line with Trump".

regardless of what else you might think of this, eight months severance is well beyond anything I have seen from private industry

if they are allowed to retain some sort of pro-rated portion of their retirement benefits, I can see a lot of people going for it

Assuming you actually see that money. Musk and Trump are both famous for avoiding debt obligations. It may not even be legal for them to make this offer -- not that this is necessarily a limitation, but it makes an excellent excuse.
