Key U.S. agencies, including the FBI, State Department and the Pentagon, have instructed their employees not to comply with cost-cutting chief Elon Musk’s demand that federal workers explain what they accomplished last week — or risk losing their jobs.

    Trumps appointees want a kingdom to shape for themselves. It would be fun to watch if the country wasn’t slowly imploding.

      It’s also just a way to humiliate government workers - a group that the right wing has been spreading hate and nonsense about for decades. People like dumbass Stephen Miller think they are overwhelmingly leftists, so it’s just a way to “own the libs” in the process of creating lots of misery and enriching the broligarchs.

    According to Trump’s court arguments Musk isn’t actually in charge of DOGE so why should they?

      This should be the answer for anything fElon “demands” of our government. Every single person should point out that he doesn’t run anything, so…fuck off?

    I don’t know how they expected intelligence agency employees to do that. Just 4 bullet points of redactions and one that says “Redacted sensitive information from this email.”

    It just sounds like extra cover to fire people to me. Either they ignore Musk and get fired for it, or they ignore their agency head and get fired for it. Either way, you did something “wrong”.

    “Краснов loyalists…”

    When will the time come where it’s natural to just call them Nazis?
