Summary

Elon Musk admitted that his mass email to federal employees demanding weekly accomplishment reports sent to him or risk termination was a test to gauge responsiveness.

Musk tried to frame the move as a “pulse check” on bureaucrats.

The email caused confusion, with some agency leaders advising staff to ignore it, while others initially instructed compliance before reversing course.

A rift emerged as top officials at the FBI, Pentagon, State Department, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Energy openly defied Musk’s directive, highlighting tensions within the administration.

    You just cannot understand the galaxy brain “efficiency” that fElon is blessing the world with here.

    People would talk about Steve Jobs and his “reality distortion field”, but I’m not sure he had anything on the levels of bullshit that fElon and those around him can be convinced of. It’s probably due to money.
