    I don't see how this can possibly be effective. Any federal worker can just "blue sky," their bullet points. What criteria is Musk, or Big Balls, or AI going to use to sort the winners from the losers? I think we may be approaching a Marie Antoinette situation, given the utter tone-deafness of the ruling elite.

    "Federal workers began receiving emails Saturday asking them to describe what they did last week — as Elon Musk warned on social media that, if employees fail to respond, it will be taken as a resignation.

    Musk wrote he was acting “consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions,” apparently referencing a social media post Trump shared earlier Saturday encouraging the billionaire to be harsher in his efforts to slash the federal workforce.

    Trump posted on Saturday morning to Truth Social, his social media platform, commending Musk for doing “A GREAT JOB,” but adding, “I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM GET MORE AGGRESSIVE.”

    Good post, thanks

    He sent it today, Saturday, and required return by Monday 11:59 ET. Agree, I can't see him sitting around with his 19 yr old/early 20s team evaluating the feedback, like they would understand the work anyway. Maybe the real goal is to trap those who didn't get the email or can't reply that quickly for whatever reason. Just another reason to fire a group of people.

    I assume I’d need to wait until they drop the rest of the episodes of Reacher first so I can finish that activity.

    100% you should sent that in. You’ll get extra credit for trolling liberals. They would love that fealty.

    I guess he thinks everyone works in one timezone? Folks in HI will have to get in before 7 to even see it in time.

    For funsies, let's see how much this task cost.
    Employees: 3,000,000
    Time: Let's just say 0.5 hrs if we are being serious about the tasking. I think some will actually put more effort than that, but there will be some who blow it off.
    Loaded rate (note, this is not salary): This varies widely. I think $75 is probably pretty conservative.

    So, following the math, the cost to the government to execute this one task comes to; 3,000,000 ppl X 0.5hr X $75 =

    $112.5M.

    Mods - please take note of that third line the next time I get a warning for calling out a troll - seems they are fine with calling themselves out.

    Hard to believe this is legal.

    Trump wants the First Buddy to get "more aggressive," and the lord only knows what that would entail.

    At this point it is safe to assume that the incompetence shown by Musk and team are on purpose

    I would troll this so hard.

    Something like this
    - Daily morning prayer to dear leader Trump and his dominatrix cuck Musk
    - Reported 65 DEI violations going on in my department.
    - bought 101k of trump coin
    - Filed 15 TPS reports saving 10cents
    - showed everyone my Trump watch, because it tells the best time ever
