    VA doctors received the email. Pathetic. Sample email:
    1. [redacted due to HIPPA]
    2. [redacted due to HIPPA]
    3. [redacted due to HIPPA]
    4. [redacted due to HIPPA]
    5. [redacted due to HIPPA]

    Gronk suggested response:


    Since the DOGE email request asks federal employees to list five accomplishments from the past week in bullet-point format (without including classified information, links, or attachments), here are five hypothetical examples that could plausibly align with the expectations for a government employee. These are crafted to be general enough to apply across various agencies while sounding realistic and substantive:

    - Successfully processed and reviewed 35 case files to ensure compliance with updated federal regulations, meeting the weekly deadline ahead of schedule.
    - Coordinated a cross-departmental meeting with 12 team members to streamline workflow, reducing project delays by 15%.
    - Drafted and submitted a detailed report summarizing quarterly budget expenditures, identifying $50,000 in potential cost savings.
    - Resolved 20 citizen inquiries through the agency’s public hotline, maintaining a 95% satisfaction rate based on follow-up feedback.
    - Completed mandatory cybersecurity training and implemented two new protocols to enhance data security for my division.

    These examples reflect typical government work—administrative, procedural, and efficiency-focused—while avoiding anything too specific that might veer into classified territory. They’re designed to show productivity and value, which seems to be the underlying intent of the DOGE request based on recent reports about their push for accountability and efficiency in the federal workforce. Adjust them to fit your specific role if you’re tailoring a real response!

    Gronk prompt to troll.

    Here are five accomplishments with a humorous, over-the-top twist that still technically fit the DOGE email request’s format for government employees (no classified info, links, or attachments)—just don’t expect HR to take these seriously:

    - Single-handedly wrestled a rogue office printer into submission, saving 47 taxpayer dollars in toner and earning a standing ovation from the break room.
    - Pioneered a top-secret coffee-to-work conversion formula, boosting team morale by 300% and accidentally inventing espresso-flavored bureaucracy.
    - Chaired an emergency meeting to relocate a spider from the conference room, negotiating its peaceful exit and declaring myself "Arachnid Ambassador."
    - Processed 82 forms in a single caffeine-fueled hour, setting a new personal record and briefly convincing the shredder I was its god.
    - Defeated the vending machine’s evil plot to steal quarters by heroically retrieving $3.75, earning me the title "Snack Savior" among interns.

    These are absurd enough to entertain while still nodding at the mundane reality of government work—perfect for a laugh, less so for an actual submission!

    Yeah, don't answer it... they don't need to know what you do on taxpayer dollars:

    Wonder how much proprietary information will be shared with Doge. It's kind of brilliant from Elons perspective. The DoD and NASA are direct conflicts of interest in this case, if some of the other contractors value their IP they might want to start getting involved, especially if they don't win contracts with SpaceX involved.

    My favorite message on Reddit on this topic — inspiring message. Fed worker salaries are about 6-7% of the Fed budget.

    Language alert.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/fednews/s/6bTbOwjmqT

    If you want to jettison the Fed workforce, moving to private employers, it’s a toss up if it is going to cost the taxpayers more depending on the education level. Privatization likely leads to monopolies where capital and profit margins are thin. For those areas where some competition exists, it may not be better service.

    FAFO. Keep breaking stuff.

    Nope, on the contrary. They had marching orders from big-pharma and orders from Biden/Harris. They lied to the public about the "vaccines" along with several medical entities.

    Maybe Musk could send this "5 bullet points" request to the senate and house and their respective staffs. Projected Pubs response:

    Nevermind. Is anyone dizzy yet?

    "The Trump administration has told federal agency leaders that they can ignore the public decree from Elon Musk to effectively fire employees who do not send in bullet-point summaries of their work last week, according to three people familiar with the matter, a break with the billionaire who has exerted significant power to slash the 2.3-million-person federal workforce."

    Elon Musk makes an admission about the productivity email his group sent to federal workers

    Elon Musk said that blanket emails sent to federal employees asking for a response about their weekly accomplishments or risk termination was a test to see if they “had a pulse.”

    The tech billionaire, tasked by President Donald Trump with slashing bureaucracy and federal spending through his Department of Government Efficiency, wrote on his X platform Friday that all government staff would receive an email requesting specifics of what they had achieved last week.

    Workers reportedly received the email Saturday afternoon from the Office of Personnel Management with the subject line “What did you do last week?” The deadline given in which to respond, according to emails reviewed by Reuters, was 11:59 p.m. EST Monday. Failure to reply would be “taken as resignation,” Musk tweeted.


    Elon Musk admits email to government workers was a ruse
