Here's your new reason for laughing at Elon Musk

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In February, Elon Musk’s demand that federal workers submit via email their accomplishments that week—or risk getting fired—was met with swift backlash. Some Cabinet members reportedly encouraged workers to ignore it, and now new reporting suggests even the Office of Personnel Management didn’t see the threat as legitimate.

According to The Washington Post, top human resources officers across the government were briefed two days after Musk’s Feb. 22 directive went out. They were told his initiative was “voluntary,” and that skipping the email wouldn’t count as a resignation.

Even for those employees who did respond, OPM—essentially the federal government’s HR department—reportedly had no plans to do anything with their submissions.

In other words, nobody took Musk seriously then. And it looks like even fewer do now. His grip on President Donald Trump’s White House appears to be slipping.

[Blues Heron]

1. He is such a weird asshole, hope he ODs

[Permanut]

2. So his report of work done that week..

Included no accomplishments.

[vapor2]

3. When he leaves will doge go with him?

I am really concerned that doge is now in the FDIC buildings. What could go wrong?

[SharonAnn]

12. No, I think DOGE will stay.

[Irish_Dem]

4. I hope he never has a moment's peace for the rest of his life.

He has destroyed much of what made this country great.

[orangecrush]

5. Too late

He got everything he paid for.

[Martin68]

6. Some employees responded in different languages. Others just sent in boilerplate memos with small changes.

[allegorical oracle]

7. A friend of mine has had to fill out that "five things you did" list where she

works in the government. She told me she just turns in the same list every week...because she does the same thing every week. She said she's insulted and resents having to do it at all (and hates Musk, too).

[IbogaProject]

8. Let's FOIA the ones Musk and Doge lackys filled out

Bet they didn't do it.

[D_Master81]

9. So once again

Once again the Trump regime is all show with no follow through. Make some headlines but no plans. Typical Trump

[paleotn]

10. He served his purpose. Now he's kicked to the gutter

The Tesla brand is destroyed. The Starlink brand is damaged and facing competition as intense as Tesla. And government contracts for his little rocket company are in danger in a scaled down federal government. And the favorable government policy, tax and otherwise, that Tesla has relied on all these years to make ends meet is being gutted. Just one more in a long line of hacks and grifters Donny has used up and tossed aside. Bad as that is, Elmo deserves far, far worse.

19. Works for me!

[liberalla]

11. I like reading this! Good news for all!

[Iamscrewed]

13. Spoiled brat

He needs to take his own medicine without lying.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

14. Are there plans in the works yet for a hall of fame...

...for people that once had a good reputation and stupidly fell into Turnip's orbit to have it shredded? Now, clearly: they were not great people to begin with, but they had managed to create a persona of some reputation.

Elon is a special case of abject stupidity, and he may currently deserve the premier spot in the hall. He saw Rudy and his merry band of idiots, Lindell, Tillerson, Barr, Kelly, Pence and any number of other previously respected people lose their reputations and said, "hold my ketamine." I mean, it couldn't happen to a Nazier guy, but what exactly was he thinking? Don't answer--who cares? Ef that guy....

Now, where are we going to build this thing...?

[calimary]

20. In Hell.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

22. The permitting process is onerous, but it makes perfect sense....N/T

[Shermann]

15. Copilot can whip up that list of achievements for the week no problem!

Monday: Fixed critical bugs that were impacting performance.

Tuesday: Implemented a small but valuable feature enhancement.

Wednesday: Optimized database queries to improve efficiency.

Thursday: Conducted a productive code review and merged key updates.

Friday: Updated documentation to reflect recent changes.

[Blue Owl]

16. Send him back to South Africa or wherever the hell he came from

[byronius]

17. Seriously -- he's an immigrant I don't want in my country.

[GoCubsGo]

21. He needs to be sent to ADX Florence. ASAP.

This motherfucker is responsible for the greatest theft of government data--including YOUR information, and god knows what else. Some of which is likely highly-classified data that he has almost certainly turned over to Vladimir Putin, our nation's biggest enemy. No way in hell do you let him walk free, let alone leave the country, especially given that he is still in possession of all that data. The same goes for all of his DOGEbags and other associates. Eddie Slovik got the firing squad for FAR LESS than what these ratbastards did.

[Canada Kid]

18. Give him a big sendoff!

With everyone ignoring his idiotic demands, his own companies directors complaining about his lack of attention at Tesla causing the company stock value to crash, maybe he should go...with a grand sendoff. Take him skydiving....without a parachute!

[Ol Janx Spirit]

24. He could join the Tesla Roadster they shot into space in 2018.... N/T

[GoodRaisin]

23. He's stolen all the personal information he wanted. Now he's ready to give up his

little power trip and leave.
