This is how I would respond to the email Musk sent to government employees. 1. Slipped out the back, Jack 2. Made a new plan, Stan 3. Didn’t need to be coy, Roy, just listen to me 4. Hopped on the bus, Gus, don’t need to to discuss much 5. Dropped off the key, Lee and set myself free #Emails2DOGE

This is not only a transparent lie bc they recognized the lawsuit in question was a big risk (especially given Trump's stance on Jack Smith's appointment), but the way to prove it's a lie is gonna be Elon's "USAID in a wood chipper" comment.
