Okay, let’s dive into this utterly ridiculous story – because, why not? Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) is calling out Elon Musk for his new requirement that all federal employees defend their jobs or else get fired. And, honestly, who can blame her? I mean, can you imagine getting an email on a Saturday night (because, you know, weekends are for relaxation, right?) with the subject line “What did you do last week?” – it sounds like something a micromanaging boss would do, not the head of a government department.
But, let’s get down to business – Musk’s announcement of this planned email and the email itself came after President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that Musk was doing a “great job” as head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Because, you know, that’s exactly what we need – more efficiency in our government, courtesy of a billionaire with a God complex.
And, of course, Musk defended the email, writing on X that it’s a “trivial task” and a “very basic pulse check” – because, clearly, he has no idea what it’s like to be a normal employee. I mean, can you imagine having to justify your existence to your boss every week? It’s like being in some kind of Never-Ending Performance Review nightmare.
But, hey, at least Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) is speaking out against Musk’s antics, saying that he “does not know what he’s talking about” when it comes to government spending. And, honestly, who can argue with that? I mean, have you seen Musk’s Tweets on the subject? It’s like he thinks he’s some kind of expert just because he’s rich.
As the head of DOGE, Musk has gutted the federal workforce, claiming without evidence that he has found “fraud” and “corruption” throughout the government. Because, clearly, the best way to improve the government is to fire a bunch of people without cause. And, hey, if you’re looking for a book on how to be a good boss, I’m sure you can find one on Amazon.
In conclusion, this whole situation is just a big mess. I mean, who lets a billionaire with a God complex run a government department? It’s like putting a fox in charge of the henhouse. And, honestly, I have no idea how this is going to end – but I’m sure it’ll be interesting. So, if you’re looking for a book on government spending, I’m sure you can find one on Amazon. Or, you know, you could just learn about how to improve government efficiency – because, clearly, we need it.
