DOGE head Elon Musk has revealed the most pressing reason why he instructed an email to be sent out this weekend to federal workers asking them to file a short report explaining what they achieved last week.
As we highlighted yesterday, Musk fired off the email, adding that “Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”
In a follow up post, Musk explained that it has become clear that so many workers are so lazy that they are not even checking their emails.
In addition, Musk noted that there is a distinct possibility that many ‘workers’ don’t even exist and that federal paychecks are being siphoned off in a massive fraud scheme.
“In some cases, we believe non-existent people or the identities of dead people are being used to collect paychecks. In other words, there is outright fraud,” Musk explained.
The reason this matters is that a significant number of people who are supposed to be working for the government are doing so little work that they are not checking their email at all!

Meanwhile, Musk has today announced that those workers who continue to ignore Trump’s Executive Order to return to the office to work will be placed on leave this week.
Those who ignored President Trump’s executive order to return to work have now received over a month’s warning.

Starting this week, those who still fail to return to office will be placed on administrative leave. https://t.co/7XRj6W21eX
Both Musk and Trump responded in classic fashion to the leftist outrage at their request for workers to take two minutes to send an email about their productivity.
Those who do not take this email seriously will soon be furthering their career elsewhere https://t.co/EFVCjnXWrl

The standard @DOGE is asking for in a response is literally this low.
EXTREMELY troubling that some parts of government think this is TOO MUCH!!
What is wrong with them?? https://t.co/5C620vfQ2Y
They both posted this Sponge Bob meme…

Take a guess at which 3 government workers will fill out the task form and which 8 workers won't comply. pic.twitter.com/msW6zJnSp0

What will you say when your kid asks… “What did you do in the government, Daddy?”
Answer: “Stayed home, shopped the internet and babysat you.”
DEI hires = massive fraud at every level. Darren Beatie from Revolver calls it “The breakdown of complex systems”
Not his place not his job he is don old’s Rasputin
Think you’ll find it is his job. He was hired to do exactly what he is doing and Trump promised. Surely you agree that literally dead ’employees’ should not be paid into fraudsters accounts? Or that ’employees’ who literally do nothing (maybe that’s you) should not be paid either?
