Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted February 23 Posted February 23 https://www.politico.com/news/2025/02/22/musk-federal-employees-explanation-dismissal-00205613 Musk says all federal employees need to explain their work immediately — or be let go Federal employees received an email Saturday afternoon, and gave them a deadline of Monday night. All federal government employees will have to share what they’ve been working on in the last week or face dismissal, Elon Musk said Saturday. Musk posted on X that employees will be receiving an email “shortly” requesting to “understand what they got done last week.” A lack of response, Musk said, “will be taken as a resignation.” “It is cruel and disrespectful to hundreds of thousands of veterans who are wearing their second uniform in the civil service to be forced to justify their job duties to the this out-of-touch, privileged, unelected billionaire who has never performed one single hour of honest public service in his life,” AFGE National President Everett Kelley said in a statement. And federal employees across the government reacted with fury about the dictate from Musk. A Department of Justice official, granted anonymity to avoid retribution, noted that the email was labeled as coming from an “external,” server, adding they “cannot legally respond to this” because they handle classified material. “This email looks exactly like all of the phishing email examples that federal employees see in training over and over again,” a Commerce Department employee, similarly granted anonymity, said. “I’m not responding to it.” The cruelty is the point. That and just general asshattery. There's around 3 million federal employees, so even if half of folks were to respond, anyone think they're going to bother reading through and checking each of those over a million messages? They just want people to shit their pants and laugh about it before they do what they were always going to do: fire anyone they feel like firing because they simply can and don't think anyone can stop them. Anyway, hope they yuck it up while they can, cuz sooner or later they will piss off enough people that it will come back to bite them somehow eventually. At least that's what I'll keep on trying to believe. 4 Quote

I'd sooner expect it all to be run through some shitty AI to find "wasteful" responses so they can prioritize firing those and publicly announce saving trillions of dollars in the process. 5 Quote

Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted February 23 Posted February 23 10 hours ago, Top Gun said: "I spent the entire week telling you to go fuck yourself." I'm really hoping all of the responses they get are along those lines, or just nobody responds. That mean the entire federal work force is fired then? Promise Elon? Like to see how the American public would react to that. It wouldn't be Mike Pence they'd be calling out for this time I betcha. If it wasn't so obvious anyway this letter is just him trolling everyone, it'd be just a complete admission on his part that DOGE isn't capable of evaluating anyone's ability to do their job and that the firings have absolutely nothing to do with anyone's performance; otherwise, they wouldn't be asking everyone to do their job for them and essentially evaluate themselves. I mean what kind of idiot is gonna say, "Oh yeah, I did an awful job and just right fucked everything up last week. You should totally can me." Or "I spent the whole week playing Fortnite and doing some of that fine ass cocaine the White House doc is handing out like candy. You got to try some man. Ha ha." 2 Quote

Raptorpat Posted February 23 Posted February 23 1 minute ago, 1pooh4u said: That’s some fuckin bullshit right there Basically iirc, every company had it's own plug/tech which made rolling out public-access charging stations impossible. So they all got together a few years back and hashed out a compromise to make Tesla's charging port/tech the EV standard. Which would make the only silver lining that he'd be shutting down 8,000 Elon musk ports. 3 Quote

The things that used to make the Tesla the only viable option (if you wanted an EV as an only car) because of the mileage it gets has been met by or surpassed by the bigger companies at a better price point. So when does Trump pretend to be an environmentalist and bring back EVs to federal agencies provided that they’re Teslas? 1 Quote

His EVs, from my understanding, are now overpriced and overhyped. idk if their charging tech was the best, but they had the largest charger footprint so the other car companies decided it was easier to fall back on that rather than build their own charger networks, like imagine if every gas station brand had a different-shaped nozzle. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/08/gm-says-tesla-charging-deal-will-save-the-automaker-up-to-400-million.html 2 Quote

We have two types of nozzles for gas. One for regular gas and another for diesel. Sure that makes sense so no one accidentally the wrong gas, but still two different wouldn’t be so bad. This is somehow going to be a win for Musk. And fuck. That. Guy. Right in his douche bag mother fuckin eye. 1 Quote

At least that's what I'll keep on trying to believe. The only thing that makes this make any sense at all is if Elon's primary goal is to completely dismantle the United States. He can't possibly be stupid enough to think he's doing anything to help the country even a little bit. I'm also going to have to assume Trump is completely checked out at this point being little more than a vegetable... and viable means for Elon to destroy the whole country.

Sowing fear and paranoia are just way to easy to do in this modern internet age I think. Yeah, it connects us all in ways that were never possible before and gives us access to all sorts of information that without it would have been inaccessible to most folks, but it also exposes everyone to the virus of misinformation that so many just don't have the antiviral software in their heads if you will to protect them from it. 5 Quote

It was a full video on a loop and it was disgusting. >.< Considering how many holes there are now in the system due to all the very big brains jamming their unencrypted servers into the department computers, I don't know if anyone wants to see the sequel. But there will be a sequel. They keep firing all the people who could actually do the security checks after all. 2 Quote
