Read this post from Elon Musk explaining what they're doing: (found on Reddit)

Believe it or not... grain of salt and all that.

Just look at some of the threads. One of the top threads is welcoming dems, conservatives, libertarians to express their opinions...

1. "if accurate this is suspicious?" sounds outright fictional

and why not use existing career civil servants during normal working hours?

2. Too many women and people of color. They don't like them.

4. those nasty dei women

5. Yes, women might actually laugh at how ridiculous they are being. They're afraid of that.

6. Exactly. And what exactly is the Heritage Foundation doing

putting together lists of Black federal workers and handing them over to Musk? That is the creepiest aspect of last week IMO. And it makes me wonder about those texts that Black students received out of the blue right after the election--the racists texts asking them to report for duty to pick cotton?

Of course I don't know if the Heritage weirdos are responsible for that, but they seem obsessed with assembling lists of Black and minority Americans and keeping track of them. It's so crazy and insane.

8. So fucking un-American, I'm sure Putin loves it

3. Self-righteous as ever. I'd love to see him work up the

courage to post this in r/fednews.

Thanks for catching this.

9. When will he look at corporate welfare? Defense spending? Tax loopholes for the wealthy and corporations?

He's chiseling away at government programs that help people in need. The poor, the sick, the hungry, the hopeless and helpless.

But the already comfortable? The filthy rich? The people who are voraciously eating every morsel of sustenance from our collective plate?

10. I notice that he doesn't express his figures in % terms.

An old trick.

11. We know Trump isn't Putin

Because there is no way Putin would put up with Musk.

12. Can someone add Space X and Tesla to the DO-NOT-PAY list, please?
