What prompted Elon Musk's email to federal workers?
There are a lot of stories that are bubbling up, and we are going to be covering them here exclusively on the program. The first of which is an email. An email heard around the world. A singular email that was sent last week. And the email was to ask every federal worker, so what do you do here and what have you gotten done? Email was sent and it says, quote, please reply. This is sent to every federal worker. Please reply to this email with approximately five bullets of what you accomplished last week and CC your manager. Please do not send any classified information, links, or attachments. Deadline to reply is Monday at 1159 Eastern Standard Time. As soon as this email was sent, federal workers started to scream and say, what do you mean I have to tell you what I do? This is harassment. This is taunting. This is unfair. No one has ever asked a federal worker, what do you do? Now, we do this every single week at Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action. What do you do here? Tell us your progress report.
In fact, taking a page out of Elon, we're going to do this now every single week methodically. List the five things you got done. Federal workers are now clamoring, saying that this violates union rules. I'm sorry, guys. This is beyond laughable. This is repulsive. These people have jobs that we pay for, and they can't respond to an e-mail Asking them, just list five things you got done here.
Why are federal workers resistant to accountability?
And the answer, of course, is they don't do anything of value. They show up, get a cup of coffee, reshuffle some papers, go into a conference room, and they're out the door by 3.30 or 4 o'clock. They operate as, not them personally, but they operate as worthless parasites on the American taxpayer. Meanwhile, every single one of you in the audience here, whether you are a doctor or a lawyer, an engineer. In the private sector, every day you have to justify your existence. Every day, even if you work at McDonald's, even if you work as a garbage man, name five things that you did at McDonald's. Well, today I cleaned the French fryer and I scrubbed the floors and I made Big Macs and I made sure the Diet Coke machine was working and I helped the customer to their car because she was struggling in the snow. Five things. Great. Thank you very much, McDonald's Employee of the Month. Earning $12 an hour. Someone at McDonald's tells you concretely what they do.
