I don’t know how many different ways to say that agency personnel don’t work for Elon. They don’t have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President.

For those who need to be reminded, the post above is NOT legal advice. In fact, if not already clear, don’t ever rely on social media posts from any lawyer as legal advice.
Consult with your agency leadership. Get private legal guidance specific to you if necessary.
That's not it at all. It's a standard disclaimer to mitigate being sued by someone who follows generic advice from the interwebs. Lawyers have been making the same disclaimers online since way before Trump was a full Russian asset.
Musk, the nightmare boss. The densest bosses don't understand what their employees do and have zero interest in knowing. The just use stack ranking and the like to cut without discerning who's doing what. In his first week at Twitter he had everyone *print* out their codebase. Welcome to 1990.
I mean, stack ranking is maybe *marginally* better than blindly cutting people like they've been doing so far... (OFC it'll still be completely arbitrary)
Still fucking braindead and not going to end well but that's the point now isn't it.
Will this keep my job?
- wrote “Trump is my king” on whiteboard 10x
- googled how to bear Elon’s baby
- practiced Nazi salute
- tried on MAGA hats

it’s so transparently obvious what they’re planning to do with this: feed the responses into a language model and use it to figure out who to fire or something
How do we organise torches and pitchforks effectively when so many in the population are in denial or ignorant about leopards who eat faces, or think it won’t happen to them?
No one is gonna read 2.3m emails, they'll feed it into Grok. A prompt like "list the 10% least productive people". Muskrat and the kids at DOGE all pat each other on the back with their heads so far up their ass they can't smell the smoke from all the fires they've started.
So if you're someone with access to top secret/classified information, you have to share that to God knows who (some 19 year old)? Yeah, that seems safe!
Independent agencies don’t report to the President. The FTC, for example, was created by Congress because it wasn’t happy with the DOJ antitrust enforcement. Congress created the FTC to be independent of the executive branch. Read the Congressional history.
Except the voters have handed the country to a felon who then handed it to a ketamine addict. So… well… you fucked! They are destroying what took hundreds of years to build. It’s a little crazy that in two hundred years voters never elected a criminal - and now you see how smart they were…
Elon only has one script. He substituted a chainsaw for the sink; otherwise he’s running his Twitter take over moves. But this is not how the government works, at all.
Exactly. If this is real, it is the largest BS move from these assholes to date. Within the federal government, exists something called a "chain of command". This would have to filter down through multiple layers of management. You would see multiple grievances filed.
AI could have written Thug’s post with proper English: “what they got done”. Good lord. A freaking 6th grader has a better grasp on grammar than this inflated IQ nitwit.
They have due process rights in their jobs and this isn’t progressive discipline so he can STFU and continue ruining HIS companies instead of our country
The lawsuit paints a troubling picture of the work environment at Neuralink, where the employee claims she was forced to work with monkeys infected with the Herpes B virus and was terminated shortly after informing the company of her pregnancy.
Honest question - Would it help government employees to write and sign a document saying, “Henceforth, my resignation cannot be inferred by any action or inaction on my part. It must be in the form of a signed resignation letter written by myself?”
The time to fight back is now. We need to get LOUD and make them listen!
Whether we're Democrats, Republicans, or independents , it does not matter. We all understand that an attack on any one of us is an attack on all of us.
I cannot wait to describe in eerily long and tedious detail my morning struggles of which pair of wool socks I should wear…. The slow pace of the coffee drips to fill my cup… the exact amount of milk I add to said coffee…. The fact I still believe pasteurized milk is safer than raw…
They can't possibly read them all. He's just using it as an excuse to have some Python script search the replies for words like "DEI" or "aid" 🙄 Real smart one we have making government "better" (allegedly).
They should answer that exactly and they will be responding nevertheless: that he has no mandate by law to ask anything and they will respond when and if their superior requests.
NYT Pitchbot: “Musk brings his unconventional management style to DC. Will it work?”
Subhead: “We polled 100 libertarians posing as independent voters. Their reaction will surprise you!”
I don’t understand how a guy who makes as much as Elon does and spends as much time as he does obviously *not doing his job as Tesla CEO, or SpaceX CEO, or Starlink CEO, gets to demand day by day progress reports from people who obviously ARE working to keep the county running.
Sure, sure!
But I just like the idea of him orbiting above us, in touch but not in touch, a kind of celestial death row for the richest man formerly of Earth.
But if Trump wants to fire them, who will stop him?
Sure, they can hire shysters, but how long with the courts take to hear them, and how much $$$$$$ will it cost them?
My sister-in-law was working at Amazon when they were doing this. Even as an "honest" management technique it was an incredible waste. Everyone in the company spent a day every week writing up this mail, and then every line manager spent TWO days compiling and presenting them.
the Zarina of Doge, who has been written about in legal pleadings as 'not in charge of any agencies' & 'not a decision maker', sure does seem to be in charge & making decisions at all these agencies.
"Primary accomplishment: Managed for the whole week to avoid the deeply illegal and unconstitutional wrecking ball swung by the drug-addled low IQ conspiracy theorist pervert nazi that Trump handed his job over to."
I'm sure the guy on top is looking forward to personally reviewing the tens of thousands of responses and deciding which ones stay or go
And - as ever - if it's not him but rather Elon and his posse deciding, that legal filing claiming Elon's not in charge sure looks iffy
Muck believes he's the president. That's why he had his appendage-son, who he has act as his ventriloquist's dummy, tell Trump publicly that he's not president and should leave and shut-up.
Yeah justifying work to someone WHO DOESN'T EVEN WORK EXCEPT TO DESTROY! UGH!
I don't even want trump supporters to hurt because most of them would shoot themselves in the foot and go DOES THIS UPSET YOU LIBRUL ow my foot
I need Elon and Trump to PAY
It's not outside the realm of possibility considering that they're already shitting all over the constitution, and now AFAICT he's pretty much given Musk open slather.
Best to dispose of both of them (and Vance for good measure) just to be sure.
I don’t think the signing of petitions is going to do it. Depending on the courts is foolish. Taking away abortion rights and giving trump full immunity are at the top of my list.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but virtually everyone in top agency position is either aligned with their philosophy, or going ahead with whatever illegal bs they ask for fear of retaliation
E.g., those nuclear safety engineers:
1. Packed up desk when fired
2. Contacted colleagues re new job opportunities
3. Watched several news items reporting our firing as mistake
4. Called fired colleagues to commiserate
5. Packed up items for possible use when rehired
But here's the deal...when agency leadership doesn't say no to this and expects compliance, there's nothing to be done. Unreasonable demands are already being normalized. Agency heads have to make a stand and say no.
Man has outright said he thinks we're living in a simulation, which by definition makes him (from his perspective) the only objectively "real" person in existence, everyone else is an NPC, including his kids and broodmares. So nothing he does to anyone else maters.
Most successful organizations don’t rely on weekly activity reports. They realize the time spent preparing those reports is a waste. But, Musk and Trump aren’t successful business leaders. And don’t tell me but look at Tesla and SpaceX. Both companies are heavily subsidized with tax breaks.
You're missing the point. People need to stop responding as though actions/directives like this are part of a sincere effort to given well or to discover fraud, waste, etc. The point is to destruction of govt for nefarious reasons. End of story.
At the very least. The point is to create an oppresive authoritarian state and run roughshod over the Constitution, and all the horrors that will result for everyone. If this continues, our democracy will be lost.
They're talking about doing it as a tax rebate, meaning only people who pay more than that in taxes will get it. Republicans aren't going to intentionally give poorer people a handout.
Federal employees received the email all across the states. Its a shame that our government has gone to shit by allowing crazy musk to continue the torture and purge of federal employees.
He’ll fire them if they do it. It’s not possible to run the mouse trap they’re building. That’s the point. Damned if you do. Damned if you don’t. Do the right thing for you and join one of the class action suits.
What I did last week:
Laid off 1000s moms and dads ‘cuz efficiency.
Threatened random US citizens on Xitter ‘cuz rich ppl can do that.
Said a lot of stupid shit ‘cuz friends of Felon47 don’t have to know what they’re talking about.
-Elon Musk
I guess people think they are trying to drown out these accounts/bots but actually you are just feeding the beast and helping it grow. Ignore and or block.
Federal employee, reporting in. Last week I did my fucking job and didn't engage in any banana republic corny ass coup. How about you, Elon? What did you do last week?
The fact that he now has US Marshal Service (read: armed) protection is interesting.
Maybe the leaping NatC gnome with a chainsaw & animal tranqs on board is sensing some unrest in the countryside over his vivisection of popular Agencies & programs.
FU Helmo & your anklebiter Evil Elves.
Legally, no. In practice, he is running the entire federal government right now. If he says they report to him, they have to or they’ll be fired, whether it’s legal or not. We’re not living in a democracy any more. The laws passed by Congress no longer apply, it’s only what Elon says.
Right, which is another reminder that they don’t care about the law. They’ve lied to the courts so that the courts won’t say he needs senate approval, and the courts are powerless to do anything about it.
10 years ago I had a micromanager like this. I had to send her two emails a day detailing what I did, one before lunch and another before I left for the day. I’m still traumatized to this day.
Also, it's just performative nonsense - Musk's specialty. "What you got done last week?" Like these ketamine dopes would even know how to analyze that info. These are the fucking morons who fired a bunch of people critical to national security and then couldn't figure out how to hire them back.
I don't understand the part that says "They don't have to report to Elon. They report to their agency leadership, which reports to the President." So they ultimately DO report to Elon?
or demoralizing them, because people who know nothing of nothing, suddenly thinking they can micromanage your work, yea that's sounds plenty demoralizing to me.
Mump should led by example. Let them itemize everything they did last week. If they were honest, which they never are, I’d love to see how much time they spent fucking over Americans compared to the amount of time they spent communicating with Moscow.

People are pissed.
Employers don't employ people and then tell them to find work to do. It's the employer's obligation to assign employee's work obligations.
Can't fire the employee for the employer's failure.

Stop fucking thinking they do.
Working within the system isn't going to fix this.
It's torches and pitchfork time.
Optional to add - "Go intercourse yourself"
White House says Musk is not DOGE employee, has no authority to make decisions
The union is going to fight it. What I haven't seen anywhere is a list of federal worker categories that would have to comply, were this even legal.
FBI agents, CIA? If yes, what classified details in the email reply? Military? Same. Nuclear agency workers?
Holy fuck this is dangerous!
Fuck I hate this timeline.
Hope he gets this back 1000 fold…

It's a legal CYA shell game.
Would cost taxpayers between $200M and $600M.
Good thinking. Smfh.
The total bullshit these folks are being subjected to is ridiculous
It's like he wants to terrorize them
Keep boycotting Tesla, X, Starlink, SpaceX and Neuralink
OMG.

Absolutely correct in principal and intent. In practice? That doesnt matter.
And - as ever - if it's not him but rather Elon and his posse deciding, that legal filing claiming Elon's not in charge sure looks iffy
Because you're not 13 yrs old....
Elon just demonstrated the absolute dumbest way to waste U.S. taxpayers' money.
Elon is also threatening American federal workers - giving them evidence in their lawsuits against him.
👆 Above is the email address musk is asking federal workers to email detailing their tasks during the week
🚨 you know what to do 🚨
Golf Monday
Golf Tuesday
Golf Wednesday
Golf Thursday
Golf Friday
5 bullet points!
I don't even want trump supporters to hurt because most of them would shoot themselves in the foot and go DOES THIS UPSET YOU LIBRUL ow my foot

At least until Trump no longer has a use for him...

“Shut up Elon, you’re just a special advisor to the President. You’re not in charge of DOGE, and can’t make any decisions.”
1. Packed up desk when fired
2. Contacted colleagues re new job opportunities
3. Watched several news items reporting our firing as mistake
4. Called fired colleagues to commiserate
5. Packed up items for possible use when rehired
and hoping to "win by intimidation"
“This week, I printed your face on my toilet paper and wiped my ass with you.”
So that agency personnel is working for the constitution. The people!
Not the person that happens to be te president.
Unfortunately whether or not you understand it is outside of my control, I wish you the best with this step of the process."
This is a social engineering attack on US federal IT infrastructure. By doing this, Elon is going phishing.
Some will be out on vaca, maternity lv, disability, WC, sick, etc.
If they don’t respond - do they lose their jobs?
If 1/2 respond - who is going to read 1.25M emails? What are the productivity standards? Are they part time or full time?
