Summary
Elon Musk demanded that all federal employees receive an email from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) requiring them to list their work activities, with non-responses implying resignation.
However, the actual email omitted the resignation clause, and OPM clarified that responses were not mandatory.
When asked about this, Trump appeared uncertain, stating, “It’s somewhat voluntary, but… I guess you get fired.”
He framed the initiative as a way to verify government employees’ activities but gave conflicting remarks on the consequences of non-response.
He doesn’t care. He’s a sociopath, who knew?
he probably doesn’t even realize he’s the president of the US.
he probably thinks this is all just some sort of cosplay thing
Fucking wild. “I guess you’re fired.” Thank God the American voter chose the geriatric over the black lady with all her faculties.
How can Musk, a mere consultant to the government, fire anyone?
a) Did Trump get the email b) When’s he leaving?
My conspiracy theory is that Trump has to get Putin all set and Project 2025 off and running as quick as he can, so Theil and JD Vance can 25th A him, while also pardoning him also. This whole Musk thing might be totally separate and gumming up the works, forcing Trump to deviate from the original plan. Nobody freestyles and fucks shit up like Trump.
It doesn’t matter because trump, Musk, OPM, doge, or all of them combined can’t fire federal employees like this.
There’s a lot they “can’t“ do. But I don’t see anyone standing in their way.
