  • Federal workers sue over Elon Musk's threat

    Federal workers sue over Elon Musk's threat to fire them if they don't
    explain their accomplishments

    Billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk violated the law with his weekend
    demand that federal employees explain their accomplishments or risk
    being fired, attorneys for the workers said Monday in a lawsuit.

    The updated lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in California
    and was provided to The Associated Press, is trying to block mass
    layoffs pursued by Musk and President Donald Trump, including any
    connected to the email distributed by the Office of Personnel
    Management on Saturday. The office, which functions as a human
    resources agency for the federal government, said employees needed to
    detail five things they did last week by the end of day on Monday.

    "No OPM rule, regulation, policy, or program has ever, in United
    States history, purported to require all federal workers to submit
    reports to OPM," said the amended complaint, which was filed on behalf
    of unions, businesses veterans, and conservation organizations
    represented by the group State Democracy Defenders Fund. It called the
    threat of mass firings "one of the most massive employment frauds in
    the history of this country."

    Don't use X - you're not missing much, it's a shithole Nazi propaganda site anyway.
    Don't drive Teslas - the roadsters are stupid looking and the Cyberweenies are a joke.

    "X Is Worth 72% Less Than the $44 Billion Elon Musk Paid for It,
    Despite 32% Rebound in Share Valuation"

    Ha ha ha, megadouche.

    There is still "wisdom" there:

    Dear Men, You are just an ATM for your Gold-Digger Wife/Girlfriend.

    Bleagh, stupid meme with an image created by AI. Everything I dislike.

    Every post posted to or read from X.com reinforces the idea that it's a
    site worth retaining, which amplifies NaziMusk's voice.

    Silence it by helping his site fail.
