Summary
Elon Musk admitted that his mass email to federal employees demanding weekly accomplishment reports sent to him or risk termination was a test to gauge responsiveness.
Musk tried to frame the move as a “pulse check” on bureaucrats.
The email caused confusion, with some agency leaders advising staff to ignore it, while others initially instructed compliance before reversing course.
A rift emerged as top officials at the FBI, Pentagon, State Department, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Energy openly defied Musk’s directive, highlighting tensions within the administration.

Wow. How efficient.
Send this illegal idiot immigrant back to South Africa. His brain is rotten.
Wasting everyone’s time and money.
Guy needs a heavy dose of fentanyl.
Anyone who works directly for a Musk company should quietly start looking for another job.
People in unions should strike right now. People who aren’t in unions should also strike, but I don’t expect miracles.
This is the biggest asshole boss indicator. There should never be a situation where someone in power “jokes” about firing.
He needs a very quick financial lesson in not fucking with his employees. One week of work stoppage across every company he owns should do it.
Sounds like a great “pulse check” for Musk!
Musk is just another pathological liar. The goons herd together.
Bureaucracy to pulse check bureaucracy. Sure.

If anyone else acted to disrupt federal functionality like that they’d be in prison for treason.
Nobody elected this chucklefuck, he is actively harmful to the country and doing irreparable damage. Of all the people getting deported this fucker is the one that really deserves it.
this is like a child saying something bad then trying to play it off as a joke when it’s not received well
“admits” it was a ruse? No, it wasn’t. He tried the same shit he pulled at Twitter and when it backfired, he made up a story about it just being a ruse. God, I hate it when the media enables the rewriting of history the new oligarch overlords feed them with.
It was just a joke, guys! Totally not prodding with what we can and can’t get away with!
Sounds like someone who got called on their bluff.
That has real " it’s just a prank bro" energy
I dont see anything in the article that indicates that’s what he meant. Or that he “admitted” it was a “ruse”.
He seems to be saying specifically that it was real and intentional and was planned to be used. He is just saying that he wanted to get a list of which people did/didn’t respond. What he planned to do with it is still a mystery, but using lack of response as justification to fire people seems like one good bet.
Gotcha! You all thought I was stupid, didn’t you?
It’s like that bit in 40year old virgin, where his lying about touching a girls boobs

Like this but instead of poker it’s the entire US economy
As a federal contractor I will no longer accept new work under our current presidental admin. I will instead go back to work on temp private sector contracts. This is my protest.
No shame in everybody who has to keep working for the federal government - everyone’s gotta feed their family first .
I don’t think this is the way. Take their money and do the bare minimum. Malicious compliance that causes issues is a good way to get the public outraged enough that something changes.
I dunno, it almost seems like good business sense to be wary of taking federal contracts right now. They are canceling them arbitrarily, so why take that chance?
The main takeaway from this should be: his power is not unlimited.
Just a prank bruh.
