Summary
Elon Musk’s email illegally demanding federal employees report their weekly tasks or face “resignation" sparked immediate backlash.
FBI Director Kash Patel instructed staff to ignore it, citing internal review procedures. The State Department and DOJ also advised employees against responding, fearing ethical violations.
The email, reaching millions, including air traffic controllers, triggered widespread confusion and resistance.
Senator Tina Smith criticized Musk’s “d*** boss move.”
The incident highlights a potential power struggle within the Trump administration, questioning Musk’s authority.
Good, more people need to question it and not just roll over and accept it.
If nothing else, it’s a completely idiotic idea.
Say there are 1 million government workers. If Muskie could read one letter a minute for ten hours a day, five days a week, it would only take him a year to get through the pile.
$42 says they’re feeding it to Grok and asking it to make decisions
Also using the messages for training it.
Can’t upvote because you are at 42. ⬆️⬆️⬆️
But elon musk is a computer science genius. Surely he passed his calc i class in undergrad. I remember my professor mentioning how long it would take you to count to 1 million.
They were told to only reply back with the word “resign”, so it seems they had it automated
Oh, an email from outside the department demanding confidential reports?
Marks as spam
Worth noting that anyone can send an email to hr(at) opm(dot)gov to let them know what you did last week…
Their IT department should filter whatever domain is used for elon stuff. No outgoing or incoming mails from dumbasselon.wtf or whatever they use. Why is this not done already?
The dork is about two weeks away from his nose just straight-up falling off.
