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.
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?
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.
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.
$42 says they’re feeding it to Grok and asking it to make decisions
He will probably have his lackeys read them or AI. There’s not a chance musk does any work.
Don’t even need AI. Find the average length of employees’ responses - Fire everyone below the average mark. Doesn’t make any sense, but seems like the kind of metric Musk would use to fire people.
This is assuming they care about responses. This is a scare tactic to scare government workers into stepping down, sowing confusion and doubt into their daily work. They are actively dismantling the government to weaken resistance against themselves
Could be there stockpiled for excuses to target specific people to be fired and only read when they have someone they’re targeting.
He’s not going to read them, it’s to increase the workload of the workers. It’s to slow down and frustrate the workers who didn’t resign. He’s met resistance, so now he has to apply pressure.
They were told to only reply back with the word “resign”, so it seems they had it automated
Good, more people need to question it and not just roll over and accept it.
