His post on X said employees will receive an email “shortly” requesting to “understand what they got done last week.”

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’s unclear what legal authority, if any, Musk is relying on.

    This is basically the platonic ideal of the most incompetent manager/boss possible.

    What, is Elon gonna personally read 3 million emails?

    Is he gonna hire a team of contractors to go through them?

    Will Elon or his team of broccoli boys even understand any of the technical or process specific terms people use?

    This is an obvious farce, all it does as serve as the flimsiest way possible to at any point claim he can fire anyone for any reason as ‘I am unsatisfied with your self directed performance evaluation’.

    Beyond this all being completely illegal, of course.

    … Hopefully, if we’re lucky, Elon will have all these emails printed out, like when he decided to print out Twitter code for review, and he trips down the stairs with a bankers box or two of these emails, and breaks his fucking neck.
