This is not the understanding that federal workers have, about the emails that they
got from the DOGE.

This is not my understanding, that I have gotten from the emails from DOGE that
have been quoted by the press.

The president has openly stated that he fully supports Musk.
------------------ ----------

This argument by Musk, seems to be an 11th hour excuse to throw the blame
for the slash-and-burn, mindless strong-arming of federal workers to resign,
or face being summarily fired without benefits.

As Musk has VISUALLY ADMITTED, the CHAIN SAW STOPS WITH HIM.

Musk is the authorised delegate, but he is not supposed with come up with any policies of his own. His team does generate creative ideas e.g. how to 'test' if an employee is still alive/active/etc. but these are run by his superiors.

People are not used to having Fed government trying clean-up this fast, this hard and with a team of clever people.

Having said that - clever IT people tend to not score well in the emotional IQ department, so clearly lessons are to be learn there as to not behave unhinged in general. E.g. I can fully understand why Rubio is not amused when Musk suggests drastic actions in 'his' USAID domain. That's uncomfortable - and any actual decisions should be under Rubio's command - Musk is increasing the pressure with this business-style methods of cleaning house: fast, drastic, unconventional, and not afraid to disturb the status-quo.

Musk also recently re-tweeted that Hitler didn't murder millions, his public sector workers did. :eek:


Musk, who has over 219 million followers on X, formerly known as Twitter, retweeted a post saying Soviet revolutionary Joseph Stalin, former Chinese Communist Party chairman Mao Zedong and Hitler—whose regime under his direction orchestrated the Holocaust—did not murder millions of people, “Their public sector workers did.”

Seems he's following the same logic as his recent re-tweet.

I don't know if he is trying to be funny, or if the is really just that socially unaware, or if he is just very mentally unwell person. That tweet is just sick.
