Various leftist (what some would call) propaganda outlets have reported that other government agencies outside of Elon Musk’s DOGE and President Trump have told federal employees not to answer the email asking if they’ve done 5 things this week. President Trump, top dog in the federal chain, cleared this up today.
“PRESIDENT TRUMP: We have people who don’t show up to work and nobody even knows if they work for the government so by asking the question ‘tell us what you did this week,’ what [Elon’s] doing is saying are you actually working. If you don’t answer, you’re fired.”
