Submission statement: Hours after Trump asked for Musk to be ‘more aggressive’ in his cuts, Musk posted that an email would be shortly going out to all 2 million federal employees. Those who fail to reply with a walkthrough of their prior week will be considered as having turned in their resignations. They really want a radically reduced federal workforce, it seems. What’s the end game here?
A personal inside source: Many (most?) department heads are pushing back against this and have issued guidance to not respond to their departments.
Why shouldn’t they have to explain what they are doing?
This is perfectly normal. Nothing to see here
even if you say “i talk to the customers so the engineers don’t have too” if you can’t explain what you did last week you didn’t do a job
Awesome…Put their fate in their own hands.
Elon, I researched the following topics, last week:
They said Trump was a Russian asset.
They said Trump would start WW3.
They said Covid did not come from a lab.
They said masks and distancing worked.
They said Hunter’s laptop was not real.
They said Ukraine was winning the war.
They said Biden was sharp as a tack.
They said human-trafficking was a conspiracy theory.
They said there was no humanitarian crisis at the border.
They said the vaccines were safe and effective.
They said there were no biolabs in Ukraine.
All of it… turned out to be a lie.
Why/how does this man have to power to fire federal employees?
I’m sure anyone foolish enough to comply will just be just be training AI to replace them.
It’s awesome that a guy who basically does nothing but ketamine and be a bad father gets to run the country. Insufferable.
And if they’re on vacation and forgot to turn on their out-of-office….?
Good. A gigantic percentage of government jobs are just adult daycare who get taxpayer funded paychecks every pay period. They should be let go if they can’t even list something they did over the span of a week.
The only people losing their minds and screaming over this are leaches who hold those do nothing jobs or people who have friends or family in those do nothing jobs and don’t want their friend or family to get kicked out of daycare because they know there is zero chance they could ever succeed in the real world
There’s no way to read 2 million email replies with the DOGE staff, which means they’re going to use some sort of LLM / ai.
So machines are going to be evaluating and eliminating jobs? They’re not good enough to truly determine if a job or worker is necessary. (And besides, you can’t just lay nonprobationary workers off without a good cause.)
Good. Seems about like any company that needs to tighten the belt
They closed USAID— the sun still rose this morning!
