Suffering from EDS? You lefties need to chill!! Take a valium!
He's going to crash and burn big time. I will be smiling and enjoying the moment when he does.
Panic Ensues, Dem Senator Lashes Out At 'Dick Boss' Musk Over Email Requiring Feds Explain Work
SATURDAY, FEB 22, 2025 - 11:57 PM
Update (2356ET): Panic has predictably ensued over Elon Musk's requirement that all federal employees provide a five bullet point summary of what they accomplished last week, due by midnight on Monday (full details below).
While newly minted FBI Director Kash Patel exempted agency employees from the requirement (with much of the intelligence community reportedly set to get the same pass), there's a lot of upset feds out there.
To which Musk replied, "What did you accomplish this week?"

Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) lashed out, posting to X, "This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick." (she said on the heels of a coordinated campaign to brand him 'Co-President Musk')
To which Musk replied, "What did you accomplish this week?"
The Rapid Response team, which posts daily information about the Trump agenda, was happy to oblige.
Stay tuned for more...

Update (2308ET): New FBI Director Kash Patel sent an email to all agency employees on Saturday night instructing them to "pause any responses" to Elon Musk's request that all federal employees provide summaries of their accomplishments over the past week or face termination.
"The FBI, through the Office of the Director, is in charge of all of our review processes, and will conduct reviews in accordance with FBI procedures," reads the note from Patel. "When and if further information is required, we will coordinate the responses. For now, please pause any responses."
Elon Musk is 'running the Twitter playbook on the government,' after writing in a Saturday post on X that all federal employees will be receiving an email "shortly" requesting to "understand what they got done last week."
Those who fail to reply "will be taken as a resignation."
When X user 'The Rabbit Hole' commented that Musk is "running the Twitter playbook on the government," Musk replied: "It works."
It also comes after the Trump administration scored a legal victory when a judge allowed Musk and crew to continue accessing federal data and arranging for mass layoffs.
Last week, Trump signed an executive order directing agencies to work with DOGE to make "preparations to initiate large-scale reductions in force."

Meanwhile, at least one federal employee apparently don't have time to answer the email - but did have time to complain to a MSM reporter about having to do it.

And there it is (though no mention of the implied resignations for failure to respond):
When X user 'The Rabbit Hole' commented that Musk is "running the Twitter playbook on the government," Musk replied: "It works."
The post came hours after President Donald Trump encouraged Musk to "get more aggressive" with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), adding "REMEMBER, WE HAVE A COUNTRY TO SAVE."
Musk's email comes after roughly 77,000 federal employees accepted DOGE's "Fork in the Road" email offering roughly 8 months of pay in exchange for resigning. After that, DOGE moved to fire thousands of employees across various agencies - mostly those in a probationary period who have been in their jobs for less than one year.

Subtle reverting to violence is a card leftist trait when they can’t win arguments based on logic & facts ! I expected better behaviour from a leftist like you …oh well it show your ignorance!
Since you liberals didn't flip out when Biden fired federal workers for not getting an experimental gene jab vaccine!. We conservative don't really care what you think about the firing of federal workers for not contributing anything.
Karma Is a bitch!!!

That’s just a ridiculous move. If he actually cared about what they were getting done, there are way better ways to track productivity than some last-minute “email me or you’re fired” stunt. Feels more like he just wants to create chaos than actually manage anything properly.
"They Are Covering Immense Fraud": Musk Says Surprise Fed Emails Meant To Uncover 'Non-Existent Or Dead People' Collecting Paychecks
SUNDAY, FEB 23, 2025 - 11:18 AM
Update (1118ET): After panic swept through Washington over Elon Musk's email requiring all federal employees to send an email by Monday at midnight with five bullet points explaining what they got done last week, Musk explained the reasoning behind the last minute demand: "immense fraud."
"The reason this matters is that a significant number of people who are supposed to be working for the government are doing so little work that they are not checking their email at all!" Musk wrote on X. "In some cases, we believe non-existent people or the identities of dead people are being used to collect paychecks. In other words, there is outright fraud."
Musk then said that the email is "a very basic pulse check," adding in a subsequent post "They are covering immense fraud."
I understand you don't get the reference or understand the context.
But how did you get 'reverting to violence' from that post?
Dear Mr Musk:
Thank you for your timely reports over the past month.
However, we cannot help noticing they are filled with errors. In one instance you show a 8 billion saving by cutting a program that only cost 8 million.
You also presented programs you claim to have cut that were in fact ended before you took your position.
You also misread the social security information.
You've confused locations and projects. And this is just off the top of our heads. It's like you did not research any of the programs you claim to have cut. We consider ourselves one of the best if not best country in the world, and this sort of work product is simply unacceptable. Specifically, it is clear to us that your work is sloppy and riddled with errors at best, outright deceptive or fraudulent at worse.
Thus, we regret to say this level of incompetence leaves us no choice but to terminate your employment effective immediately.
Please stop by the HR office today to discuss the orderly termination process. We wish you luck in your future endeavors.

There were inevitably going to be some power struggles.
Of course, as people have noted, Musk's twitter threat is directly contradicted by the rules of the OMB email system DOGE itself set up.

Hilarious. After the DOGErs set up the new government-wide all employee email system in late January OPM, where it is housed, sent out an advisory which states explicitly that no employee ever has to respond to any of the emails. See 4.2 and 4.3. https://www.opm.gov/media/kfpozkad/gwes-pia.pdf

As you can see from my facetious post- and thinking like a manager (ps I am in charge of appx 500) - if I hired an efficiency expert and I got reports like Musk produced he'd be fired and we'd sue him.
So, whilst he's pissing down on government employees maybe he needs to check his own self. I'm sure if a government employee turned in reports with as many errors as Elon had they'd be gone in a heartbeat.
Whats good for the goose...
if you responded the way you did to a request from a senior manager/ director/ executive you would soon be in charge of 1 and thinking like an ex-employee
a true manager would know this was not a battle to undertake publicly and you would need to privately express your concerns to your supervisor
a true manager would also not travel down the road of personal insults towards the senior manager/ director/ executive
a true manager would never threaten lawsuits against senior managers

You guys don't get it. i am starting to think i am much more intelligent than you all. No offence just telling things as it is, like Trump and Musk.
Why is Musk doing such a move?
The only goal is to discredit federal workers. To put in the mind of the population that fed workers are paid for nothing.

The only people up in arms over this are the same bunch who had no issue with show me you have two jabs or you'll fired under Biden.
Musk asking to provide a simple work report or be fired is causing their heads to explode.
I'm required to submit a work report and the end of every day to my boss.
