Here's an interview with a few Trump voters who lost their jobs under el presidente Musk's random firings.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-FE3XxsOI4

The first half or so of the video is the interesting bit. The second half is just Musk lying to us as usual, so I wouldn't bother unless you are chronicling the lies.

Best quote (paraphrased because I'm too lazy to go back and get it word for word):
I thought Trump would do what he said.

My reply:
Hello???? Were you not paying attention the last time around?

While you don't deserve to lose your job over your inattention, perhaps you're learning the hard way to pay a bit more attention to the world around you.

While you don't deserve to lose your job over your inattention,...

I disagree. They voted for the Felon, so they deserve whatever they get.

We who didn't vote for an incompetent Felon don't deserve what is coming, but we're gonna get it anyway.

pbs ran a similar story.
i expect a trickle of these stories from those few MAGA directly impacted and capable of drawing a straight line of attribution...which already presents a narrow funnel.
the non-trump voter in the link has a lot more sympathy than most expect, certainly more than other MAGA.
here is why she (who did not indicate if she voted at all) has misplaced empathy:

- not a single MAGA can conceive of the harm done to other non-trump voters. they may be shamed into this, but not w/out considerable prodding.
- i expect most MAGA would jump back on the trump train were their issue xyz remediated.
- MAGA seems shocked by backlash from their brethren, another datapoint on intelligence and education, which has not changed via revelation. ultimately this places a hard ceiling on why neither party may care in regards to their current situation, but will go back to the propaganda playbook during election season.
- finally, it NEVER occurs to MAGA their 'oops' will likely cause irreversible societal damage. for now, let them bask in 'this is as bad as it can get' and their kristi noem tax-paid advertainment.
