    See: Curtis Yarvin - his ideas are what drive and guide folk like musk, Vance, thiel, etc.

    He wrote of a concept called RAGE.

    Retire All Government Employees.

    (He’s also a madman, racist, sexist, technocratic authoritarian who has some extremely disturbing views and plans for the future. Things are not going to get better until him and his clan are completely removed from any station of power or influence. And, indeed, from this planet. They want us dead. Or as slaves. And that is putting it mildly.)

      Further evidence that the only thing the Elon has is money. Not an original thought in there.

      That makes Trump the actor on third-hand thoughts.

      Such power.

    I won’t even respond to supervisors outside my department when questioned about my work. I damn sure wouldn’t entertain an individual that has no credentials and doesn’t belong there.

      In a rare turn of events, Gerry Connelly is actually making some noise over that.

      Absolutely nowhere near what AOC would be in his position, but I was surprised to see Connelly even released a letter about it.

      But the reason they want this is to claim an AI going over the responses counts as an “appropriate review” necessary before DoD RIF of probies.

      But there’s already multiple lawsuits over how DOGE/OPM have zero authority to be acting like every agency’s HR and sending out this shit

    “This email looks exactly like all of the phishing email examples that federal employees see in training over and over again,” a Commerce Department employee, similarly granted anonymity, said. “I’m not responding to it.”

    I mean it essentially is a phishing email, just like “your social security number will be cancelled unless you provide sensitive info here”. Elon Musk is an active cybersecurity threat vector to the functioning of the United States.

    I’m not sure most employees can explain their jobs in terms musk would understand. Imagine having to eli5’ing your job.

    Should be short and sweet that explanation:

    This week I have been fighting fascists who, under the guise of an illegitimate ‘agency’ and their deranged nazi saluting moronic leader, are trying to undermine and plunder our offices. I expect to do the same next week.

    Future historians are going to look back on all this with bewilderment. They’ll be baffled at how the US let a Ketamine addict use a chainsaw to totally devastate institutions that took decades to build.

      Probably the answers will just be run through an “AI” that flags any no-no words like diversie, woman, justice or environment.
