Listen – it’s not nuts to ask federal employees to report what they’re working on. My staff has to do weekly reports too.
But the WAY Musk is doing this? What’s he gonna do, read 2 million emails? This is just not serious stuff.

i highly doubt you have some rando walking in off the street demand weekly reports of your staff?
You can’t expect him to do the right thing most of the time, can you?
But you work for the American people.
I expect a list of your weekly achievements by midnight.
No good immediate answer other than trying to force Warner to actually do something useful for his voters
Or at least the teenagers who have probably not been vetted?
You're a senator guy. Does that mean anything other than you're a skeleton wearing a tie?
When did Congress approve its authority?
When did Congress approve its budget?
When did these people allegedly working for it get their security clearances to access this information?
Maybe try asking these questions?
You know, before you post it.
"Elon Musk is using insecure servers to make demands from federal employees which he has no authority to make. DOJ told a court last week that Elon is a WH advisor _only_."
Adding layers of inexpert, deliberately maladaptive fake management observation comes at massive expense. It's billions of dollars of duplicated work per week. We already know that the data will be used to harm the public, _if it's used at all_.
Get that boot out of your mouth.
Nazi.
If you’re not against them 100%, then you’re against everything you swore to uphold.
Just consistently not meeting the moment. Step up, or step aside.
Like, what are you talking about with this awful post? Stop acting like any of this is in good faith
There, fixed it for you.
Please, Senator - this isn't business as usual, and tech plays heavily in this gov b/c of Musk - you clearly aren't up to speed
You need to catch up, Senator
Please
And it’s nuts to threaten dismissal.
And it’s nuts that he can even send an email to every federal employee making such a request.
Millions of dollars of official time were wasted on this.
Stick up for the hundreds of thousands of public workers in Virginia WITHOUT feeding Elon’s false premise.
Musk & team have said theyre going to feed the responses into an LLM which will then determine if the respondents jobs are actually mission critical or if theyll get fired
LLMs are idiots.

As if those people don't have their own supervisors already.
As if Musk even has a legitimate authority to send these emails.
Anyway, they’re letting Russia in. They’re giving consent to Republican bullshit. The Dems are screwing us over. As cowardly as Rs!
But the WAY you are doing this? What are you gonna do, not defend 3M people? You are not serious stuff.
Much like you will be if you keep it up

I sent 3 or 4? Senator take the #WokeAFPledge
Chant
Shame! Shame! Shame! Stomp repeat!
Anytime we see the oligarchs and their Ilk!
Grow some balls, Senator!

Yall seem to think we are stupid. If you’re done with America just admit it. Kings don’t need Congress. And we don’t need jerks who can’t stand up to men who claim to be kings.
Did you have to lick boot as your preface or do you just like the taste of shoe polish that much
When politicians fuck up they need to be called out. Don’t call MAGA a cult then turn around and do the same thing. He probably workshopped this damn post and it’s weak so I’m calling it what it is
B) Musk and DOGE literally have no constitutional role in the government. WTF is wrong with our Dem Congress members?
I hate the GOP with a passion right now but my bitter disappointment in Dems is right up there
Write me a report on what you did last week. If you don’t, I won’t vote for you.
you don’t, in fact, “gotta hand it to ‘em”
On the Dem side we have legislators like you working on enlightened agreements and mush I wouldn’t feed a pig. Good god.

You are coming across as being cowed by Musk and his teeny-bopper lackeys.
Geezus ....
Your messaging is way off base sir.
NO FEDERAL EMPLOYEE REPORTS TO MUSK & he has NO IDEA WHAT FED EMPLOYEES DO
Musk has neither been elected to oversee all federal employees, nor are they *his* staff.
Stop normalizing what Musk is doing.
he’s putting them into an LLM and doing god knows what with them
Why does this have to be explained to you?
You’re legitimizing him by not pointing out that this is fucking illegal and he has no power to do any of this shit.
I know you’ve got “Fuck you” money and you’re in the Senate and everything, but you can do better. Come on.
Yes, it IS nuts! Why won’t you stand up for people instead of trying to pacify people who will never vote for you?
Is nobody seeing a drug issue here?!
But the WAY Musk is doing it?
Accept.
The Framing.
Damn.
You know every part of what he’s doing is illegal. You don’t have to start the point you’re trying to make by excusing it in any way. “Musk is issuing threats he has no right to make”. The end.
This is the only thing we want to hear. "Yes, we do realize that the laws of the US are being flouted daily, and we're going to war."
Completely out of touch and unable to meet the moment. Vote them out.
Dems, block the budget resolution, boycott the SOTU!
NO ONE said fed employees shouldn’t be regularly evaluated, and if they’re not (they are) that’s a SYSTEM problem—in ANY organization.
The select few who are vocal and fighting back are getting drowned out by the silence and the ambivalence of the rest of the party.
You should know your people can work without you hovering over their damn back.
