Summary
Elon Musk announced that all federal employees must report their weekly accomplishments via email or be considered resigned.
The directive requires workers to submit 5 bullet points summarizing their work by Monday night.
It remains unclear how responses will be evaluated or enforced.
Critics question the feasibility of processing hundreds of thousands of reports across multiple agencies.
I used to have this pet theory that Elon was doing a zero’s requiem - to be such an oppressive billionaire that after he destroys everything, we’ll be able to rebuild fresh with a deep seated hatred towards billionaires and the systems that let them come to be
The idea is he goes from the “hero billionaire” that brings us the tech we need to fix the world and move forward, then shows his total ineptitude as he destroys the global economy, and finally dies or fakes his death so we can build a better world
But between the Nazi shit and the reckless destruction of things we need to handle climate change, the thought doesn’t come to my mind often anymore
