Maybe this is all a big distraction. Elon's armed security guards now have access to multiple government buildings, and their loyalty is not to the United States but him. He could order them to do anything in the future.
If you want to find waste and fraud in government, there are people who know how to do that. They are called forensic accountants and they do what is called a performance audit. I have personally seen this done in my son's school district. The report actually uncovered criminal conduct which was referred to the DOJ and resulted in guilty pleas from a former school board member and a couple of administrators.
Musk has a bunch of Groyper coders trying to write scripts and using AI to try to do the same thing as highly trained and experience accountants. So far, it has been a complete joke and a big waste of time.
Then, it is also ironic that you have RFK, Jr. railing against American's failing health without mentioning at all how many people are getting sick because they work long hours in high stress jobs with little time for exercise or family. The one thing I always hear from people I know who work for the Feds is that while the pay is a fraction of the private sector, they love their jobs because everyone goes home at 5 pm and everyone takes every day they have for vacation.
So, while RKF Jr. is pretending that he cares about our health, Elon is wrecking the government workforce and trying to turn them all into overworked stressed out coders who have no life and get fired when they leave the office at 8:55 pm so they can tuck their kids in to bed when their boss is still in the office working.
Funny the fed workers I know say it's a joke and they work from home. Say supervisors rarely check with them !
Musk didn't call it a ruse. That is the Independent's language. All indications are that a lot of federal workers won't have a job tomorrow if they don't think of five things they did at work this week, and submit it as a response to the email within the next 6 or so hours.

Any update?
How about now guys? Anything accomplished by all this work?
I asked ChatGPT to list 5 things it did last week:
don’t have memory of past interactions or a sense of time, so I can’t tell you what I specifically did last week. However, I can help with many tasks like answering questions, providing information, assisting with writing, or helping with problem-solving! What can I do for you today?
Musk, as a federal employee - "special governmental employee" - should submit a list of his own on what he did last week. He should submit it to the public and set an example.
It might do some small good so that he isn't just considered the rich dirt-bag that bought his way into power (which he did, and is).
Yes, the US is on life support because the president is openly challenging the constitution and seeing how far he can push his power while installing his cronies in key government position. The no DEI, "everything should be 100% merit-based" crowd should be furious that people like RFK and McMahon are getting jobs they are in no way qualified for, but as long as Cheeto Jesus keeps owning the libs, they don't care.
Elon is paid 8 million dollars a day for his work at doge, his companies have gotten $38 Billion from government loans, subsidies, tax credits, and contracts. Not a political post just wanting posting facts about Elon. Make your own judgement about if he is worth that much.
Opinion if each employee has to send 5 work items he should have to send 100,000 to justify his wage. His wage is about 20000X the average federal employee total compensation.
I am a Federal Employee and work for the DoD. My current position is in fact mission critical which means I am still employed. But what has taken place is incredibly wrong. This SOB Musk has fired people and stated poor performance which is a lie. I have personally looked over friends evaluations which have been 5.0 perfect. Think about it he has basically put an occupational felony on the resume of these people. We are also not talking low income salaries some make over 100k a year. Also to assume we don't pay taxes is complete bs. I make $14,000 a month and take home around $8,000. Musk has additionally charged the federal government around $14 billion for 2 months of work and where do you think that money is going? I will give you a hint not too the suckers that work for doge maybe a small portion the rest is going in his pocket. He additionally tried to get a nearly $60 billion government bail out for Tesla his company. Tesla is in the hole because he can't keep his mouth shut we shouldn't have to pay for his actions. He welded a chain saw on stage as a joke towards the people he destroyed financially. These people are not criminals they have not done anything corrupt they are doing the job they were hired to do and this guy is falsely reporting things that I can promise you are not happening or taking place.
