    This is totally untrue president, Trump just addressed this with the news briefing with Macron

    Musk’s 5-point performance demand is a college degree, childish degree, that is targeted to reduce accountability on Musk revenue from federal government contracts. Musk is not a businessman like Trump. He is a bully born into old money.

    President Trump has commented this. Some agencies that are dealing with specific security information are
    Giving further guidelines. The purpose is to find out who is even reading email and who is actually employed, because agencies are not even sure where everyone is in there departments that are receiving paychecks.

      That’s completely untrue though, is there any proof of his claims? Just because he says something to justify his actions doesn’t make the excuse or lie true

    Cuts in essential care for millions of poor people to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Is there a more obvious definition of evil than that?
    Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely this describes both Trump and musk

    American Tax Payers are $36 trillion in debt. It costs us, the American Tax Payer $2 trillion a year just to cover the interest. If you are a federal worker, you are paid by the American Tax Payer. No tears shed here.

      They aren’t the one who put us in debt. Trump did during his first reign. The last 2 Dem DID NOT PUT US IN DEBT‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😡

      They ARE American taxpayers too.. working and being govt scapegoats. What’s with you people, what do you really think will come from all this bs?

      While these are common employee abuses in Big tech software houses a lot of government work has not been defined and in these ways. You have bought into the idea that deficits only come from lazy workers. Congress and Joe Biden reduced the deficits by two trillion working together in a smart way.

      The federal workforce makes up less than 2% of the budget. Get your savings elsewhere.

      So you must be against Trump’s plan to gift billionaires 4.5 trillion in tax breaks,or Musk getting 18 billion a year for Tesla or Trump spending 5 million to attend the Superbowl and 3 million to attend a car race.

    This isn’t a series of isolated events—it’s a step-by-step dismantling of democratic institutions, all leading to the same outcome: a total financial, governmental, and legal power grab.

    This is the easiest way to look for Red Flags. It esures that people receiving govt paychecks are in fact 1. real people 2. check their email

    Such BS. The majority of taxpayers and trump supporters are fully and happily standing behind DOGE and Trump. Bloomberg = FAKE NEWS. Bloomberg is still pissy about getting owned by Trump in that campaign interview.

    You are ludicrous. They are looking for fraudsters and deceased people who are receiving a paycheck. Now someone is but they can stop this fraud

    I reported the email for phishing. Didn’t even look official. No names of who wrote it. No thx

    I think biggest issue is good people that have worked a government job for many years and they take care of their family and now they are worried that their career is in jeopardy. Who’s to say that even if you respond that they gonna get laid off. Then what? F them and their family? Musk doesn’t know what real middle class people do to survive. I support uncovering all the fraud completely. I voted for it. But now good average Americans are being targeted and Musk could give two shits.

    If you’re actually working, no reason to be scarred. If you’re not doing sh** milking the Government, then you’re the fat that needs to be trimmed.

    In my blue sanctuary city of San Francisco, many federal workers are absolutely terrified to go back to the office due to the sidewalks in front of the Nancy Pelosi fed building be so dangerous.
