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.

Federal workers began receiving an email Sat from OPM w/ the heading "What did you do last week?" It directs them to reply with a list of what they accomplished last week. Deadline: Monday 11:59p.m. Eastern. Musk posted on X that failure to respond will be taken as a resignation. shorturl.at/syTBk

Dear OPM FOIA staff - Remember to preserve all of these email responses, as we will be submitting FOIA requests for this consolidated compilation of information on what the entire federal government did last week. Thx - FOIA community

Elon Musk is paid TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to be the CEO of Tesla. What did Elon get done last week for Tesla?

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

BREAKING: Elon Musk has said: Federal employees to receive email asking what they accomplished last week; no response will be considered resignation.

Next e-mail from the Office of Personnel Management… SUBJECT: What R U Wearing?

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

“Today, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland issued a preliminary nationwide injunction on President Trump’s executive orders… One of the attempts by the administration to impose their political agenda on higher education has been thwarted.” democracyforward.org/updates/judg...

Wise man…

For those at the back…

I won’t get used to scotus doing the right thing but for now … good.

Firing all the JAGs is very very bad

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

BREAKING: Judge blocks Trump administration from terminating DEI-related grants, calling the president's executive orders too vague to be enforced.

Civic blasphemy. No kings.

Doing this right before firing three top military leaders is so deranged. Source at DoD told me, “Disdain for Hegseth is a near-universal feeling even among the Trumpiest in the office.“

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

Fresh out of prison after Trump’s pardon, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested today for assaulting a woman protesting his event.

AOC: And he is running around because he thinks he got a bank account with a lot of zeros in it that it makes him some kind of super citizen. I don't think so.

I would just like to point out this company with <$3.6 mil> in 2024 revenues just paid the top 3 executives <$90 mil> in compensation for that same year. A top ten all time grift. Hagw!

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

This is how it’s done.
