1. I think they should just make stuff up

what's Elon and his pimple faced crack IT force going to do, follow each one of them around for a day?

5. Several of my ornery FB activist pals, retired & time on their hands as they try to get thru to Capitol Switchboard,

sent ol Elon emails listing THEIR accomplishments from the past week. They are having LOTs of fun jamming his stupid system so one assumes it's an activity that has gone national.

2. take him to the woodshed

and never let him go on CNN again.

3. That's not his position, He clarified with this post on BlueSky:

“This country is fed up with the wrecking ball Elon Musk and Donald Trump are taking to essential government services.

Federal agencies need to regain order right now by telling employees they do NOT have to respond to Elon Musk's absurd email.”

6. Which is another way of saying he completely dropped the ball on live TV

8. Yes--and he posted on BlueSky before this video, too

He is more addressing the unreasonableness of the request in the video. I wonder what, if anything, happened in between.

IMHO, this is looking at Connelly under a microscope when there are great big fish to fry all over the place. (Sorry for mixing metaphors.)

9. Good points. Nt

4. Why? Actually if every government worker refused the asinine request, there is not much musk could do. Do you really

think he would fire everyone?

and there is no way he is going to read even a 1/10 of those emails if they all responded.

7. Correct, but he ruined everyone's weekend and added stress they don't need

The man is a sadist and is actually involved in terrorism at this point.

[JohnSJ]

13. WIthout a doubt. Both musk and trump are sadists who get a thrill out of chaos, hurt, and anxiety.

10. sad. nt

11. Another mealy mouthed response.

I'm still asking why this guy rather than AOC.

[MontanaMama]

12. Same. For the life of me

I do not know why Nancy Pelosi keeps her thumb on AOC who is, by any measure, a born leader who gets smarter and more savvy every day. AOC had been in the front lines of fighting fascism from the get go.

[AltairIV]

14. Completely agree!

15. Their headline does not really correctly capture what he said though!
