Local outrage has erupted over Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk’s latest workforce shake-up. Musk, who recently fired thousands of federal employees across several agencies, demanded weekly accomplishment reports via email. He warned that failure to comply would be considered a resignation.
President Trump praised the move from the Oval Office, calling it “ingenious” and stating that non-responders would be “semi-fired or fired.”
The email, which requested five bullet points detailing last week’s accomplishments, quickly leaked online. A flood of satirical responses followed, mocking Musk and his demands. Social media users used the opportunity to express their disapproval of Musk’s tactics.
The deadline for responses has passed, and Musk’s next move remains unclear.
