Musk to Fed Workers: 48 Hrs to State Your Actions Last Week

Hundreds of thousands of federal workers have little more than 48 hours to explain what they accomplished over the last week as part of billionaire Elon Musk's crusade to slash what he describes as "waste everywhere" in the federal government. Musk, who serves as President Donald Trump's cost-cutting chief, teased the extraordinary request on his social media network on Saturday. "Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week," Musk posted on X, which he owns. "Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation."

Why is Pres Trump endorsing this action?

Musk runs the show. Trump's just the figurehead.

The fed workers should say they did a fuck ton of ketamine and then waved a chainsaw around like a total spaz.

I think it is more precise to say Musk is the unelected hatchet man who is carrying out the plans of Trump and Project 2025 to dismantle and privatize federal agencies:

Project 2025's plan to gut civil service with mass firing

Even as Trump tries to disavow the rightwing blueprint, both have similar plans to replace many federal employees

Speaking about federal employees last month, the former president said: "They're destroying this country. They're crooked people, they're dishonest people. They're going to be held accountable."

And:

Project 2025 Seeks to Dismantle Agencies, Terminate Up To 1 Million Federal Workers

The plan promises a takeover of our country's system of checks and balances in order to "dismantle the administrative state" " the operations of federal agencies and programs according to current law and regulation, including many of the laws and regulations that govern federal employment.

"Project 2025 will take away freedoms and rights from every American, will hurt the middle class and working families, and is a threat to our democracy," said AFGE President Everett Kelley. "It's a takeover of our federal government in a manner that is not loyal to the Constitution and the law, has no interest in listening to the people, and will force employees to take orders, legal or not, or be terminated."

The bad news is they are just beginning their destructive rampage:

Here are the highlights--or rather lowlights--of Project 2025 to help you understand how these plans would undermine national security, destroy democracy, and take away our rights:

Yup.

And Pres Trump endorses Mr Musk's actions because the anger is directed at Mr Musk, not Pres Trump.

Stated differently, Pres Trump seems to be cowardly hiding the shield of Mr Musk.

Cowardly.

While his Vice Pres is talking about manning it up.

3. Not to mention their six rounds of golf during work hours.

So far, Mr Musk's "waste everywhere" expedition has come up relatively null. Little more than apparent lies to justify it.

But that aside ...

Why does Mr Musk now think it is up to the individual workers to justify why they were hired?

Should not Mr Musk be asking the managers why they justified that position in the first place?

Yeah, Mr Musk's slash and burn approach looks to have some fundamental issues.

Who exactly is going to read these hundreds of thousands of reports? AI, I would assume? Programmed to look for what?
