I've noticed some strange things happening at Social Security. We have people listed in there who are supposedly 150 years old. I don't know about you, but I don't know anyone that old! If these people actually exist, they should be in the Guinness Book of World Records. It makes me think that they are probably dead. If they aren't, they should be very famous! It seems like someone should probably look into this.

You are bankrupting the postal service through reputation alone. You are responsible for the fall of the postal service and its lack of accountability. No, Congress is responsible for the fall of the postal service. With all the AI and computer systems, you are worse than someone hand-delivering the mail. This is the response that the postmaster gave Congress when he doesn't like what he hears. He literally covered his ears and gave himself a grade of A. With that, I rest.

So, Elon Musk sent out an email asking federal workers to list their weekly achievements, and failure to respond would be considered resignation. He suspects many workers are lazy, not checking emails, or possibly nonexistent, leading to potential fraud. We've noticed a lot of people in the workforce don't check their emails, suggesting either lack of training or simply not caring. Remote work during COVID may have worsened the issue, with people not being productive even when in the office. There's likely a lot of fraud, with fake positions created as favors. If you get federal holidays off, your job is replaceable. Speaking of jobs... Let's talk Good Ranchers! Get top-quality, 100% American meat delivered to your door.

So, we're from the Department of Government Efficiency, and we're here because we have no idea what you guys actually do around here. Where's the gold, where's the money going and how many 50-year-olds are you paying every month? All the funds are allocated, but what exactly are they allocated for? Also, why do 50,000 federal employees owe $1.5 billion in taxes? After an audit of the IRS, we found you owe $50 million. What about your chief of the flat office navigation team getting paid $20,000,000 a year to find the edge of the office? I want to see every receipt. If I find out even one cent went to funding secret IRS strip clubs, I'll throw you in the deepest, darkest prison cell in America! Ultimately, we're going to fire some people, abolish the IRS, and turn IRS workers into ICE workers.

The President told me to be more aggressive, so we sent out an email to all employees asking what they do. We got a partial response, so we're sending another email. Our goal isn't to be unfair. Employees can simply respond that their work is too sensitive to describe. We want to keep essential employees who do their jobs well. If a job isn't essential or done well, those people shouldn't be on the payroll. Those million employees who haven't responded are on the bubble. Maybe they don't exist, or we're paying people who don't exist. A lot could have happened. The prior administration wasted money.

Elon Musk asked federal workers to detail their weekly achievements via email, or face resignation. He suspects many employees are lazy, not checking emails, or possibly nonexistent, leading to potential fraud. COVID has exacerbated work-from-home laziness, with people getting away with doing minimal work. It's ridiculous to have to send an email to prove you're working. The real issue is the amount of fraud. Fake positions are created to pay people through the back door. These positions often involve roles with vague responsibilities. If you can take federal holidays off, you're replaceable. Switching gears, if you want top-quality, 100% American meat delivered to your door, check out Good Ranchers.

Is this truly a democracy? A functioning democracy requires a strong feedback loop between the people and their government. Without it, if unelected bureaucrats hold the power, the meaning of democracy is lost. The weight of leadership can be challenging, but open communication is essential for a government to represent its citizens effectively. A government without responsiveness to its people isn't truly democratic.

There's no incentive in government work because the payment system rewards simply asking for money. If you ask for money, you're just going to get it. Incentives decide outcomes.

You cannot give yourself an A grade. I just did. You can't grade your own paper. I've been to medical school. Congress is responsible for the postal service's issues, not me. I'm trying to fix it. With all the AI and technology available, your performance is worse than if I delivered mail on horseback. This is how the postmaster responds when faced with criticism—he covers his ears and gives himself an A grade. And with that, I rest.

Imagine waking up on your day off and seeing a message from the owner of X, questioning your work and threatening your job if you don't respond. That's the reality for some federal workers. It's alarming when someone with that kind of power singles you out and demands an explanation for your work performance. To make matters worse, picture the President, the most powerful person in the country, supporting that message. How do you think that makes federal employees feel about their job security and respect in the workplace?

I think it's a great idea to challenge federal employees on their accomplishments. Private businesses do this all the time to ensure accountability and show the work that's been done. The federal government should do the same. Some people are upset because they probably haven't done much and can't show their work. I've been contacted by people upset that they have to go back to work because they've moved and assumed they could work from home indefinitely. The post-COVID days are over. We need to get people back to work, show what they're doing, and demonstrate government efficiencies, which haven't been done in a while.

As governor, I saw firsthand government waste, but what Elon is finding is stunning. One agency had 13,000 employees but 37,000 software licenses, many unused. With millions of federal employees and credit cards, the opportunities for fraud are immense. Shockingly, there are millions of dead people still in the Social Security system. We need to address the low-hanging fruit. Keep good employees but eliminate unnecessary positions. I was in a meeting where it was revealed there are more government credit cards than employees, and the number of people on Social Security rolls is incredible. Checks go out automatically, and nobody is checking. Contract officers retire, but the money keeps flowing. Even diligent companies struggle to stop improper payments. Agencies like USAID don't track appropriations. Basic changes are needed to ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.

You bankrupted the postal service through your reputation alone. You are responsible for its fall and the lack of accountability. That is not true, the postal service is growing and Congress is responsible for the fall of the postal service. I am trying to fix it. On your watch, with all the AI and computer systems, the postal service has gotten worse. You're worse than if I took a horse and delivered it two miles down the road. This is the response that the Postmaster just gave Congress when he doesn't like what he hears. Literally covered his ears and gave himself the grade of A.

There's no incentive in government work because the payment system is set up so that if you ask for money, you're just going to get it.

I used to work for the Army Corps of Engineers, and the abuse I witnessed was shocking. My boss even bragged about how hard it was to get fired. People would take advantage of the lax environment. One employee ran his farm during remote work, another bragged about drunk driving during work hours. Some wouldn't even log in, and no one checked. The 80/20 rule was in full effect, with 80% of the work done by 20% of the employees. One guy slept at his desk every morning, while another napped in his government truck at a park. I spent three months cleaning up their disaster of a file room. Our government is full of lazy, incompetent people, and the hard workers are punished for outshining their colleagues. Our government organizations are so outdated, they basically need to be rebuilt from scratch. That's why I don't feel bad for federal employees being forced back into the office.

That email was really just a pulse check, like, do you have a pulse and at least two neurons? If so, you should be able to reply. It's not a high bar. We're trying to figure out if some people on the government payroll are actually dead, which would explain their unresponsiveness. Or if they're not even real people, but fictional characters someone's cashing checks on. So, are these employees real? Are they alive? Can they send an email? That's what we're trying to determine, and I think it's a reasonable expectation for the American public to have.

I discovered that 20 million dead people are marked as alive in the social security database. Most fraud doesn't come directly from social security payments, but from disability, unemployment, and fake medical payments because these individuals are incorrectly marked as alive. We need to implement a simple "are you alive" check to prevent these fraudulent payments. This type of negligence would result in a public company being immediately delisted, and its executives imprisoned, but it's considered normal within the government. Therefore, I recommend that the Treasury and Federal Reserve make payment categorization codes mandatory, requiring an explanation for each payment, even if it's basic. This change would significantly improve the current system and potentially save hundreds of billions of dollars annually.

A basic search of the Social Security database revealed 20 million dead people marked as alive. While it's unclear if they're directly receiving Social Security payments, their "alive" status allows them to fraudulently obtain disability, unemployment, and fake medical payments. The fraud occurs because government databases don't communicate well. For example, the Treasury's main payments computer, PAM, handles $5 trillion in payments annually, roughly a billion dollars an hour. We discovered payments lacked categorization codes and descriptions, essentially untraceable blank checks. If a public company operated this way, it would be delisted, and executives would face imprisonment.

I used to work for the Army Corps of Engineers, and the abuse by government employees was astounding. My boss said it was nearly impossible to get fired. People were taking advantage of the work from home situation. One employee ran his own farm. Another bragged about drunk driving during remote work. No one checked if people were even logged in. The 80/20 rule is true. 80% of the work is done by 20% of the people, because it's so hard to fire people. One guy napped at his desk every morning. Another took the government truck to nap in the park. I spent three months cleaning up their real estate files. The government uses an antiquated system and regulations from the nineties. Our government is full of incompetent, lazy people, and hard workers are punished for outperforming. I don't think government employees should get to work from home until they start doing their jobs.

As taxpayers, we're footing a $271 billion bill annually. Is it really too much to ask for some accountability on where that money goes, especially when these individuals are earning an average salary of $106,000 a year? Think about the single mom juggling two jobs or the dental hygienist tracking patients. They can justify their work. So, why is it such a burden for government employees to do the same? It's this attitude, this perceived arrogance that the American people are fed up with. It's our money, and we have every right to know how it's being spent.

I've issued a deadline for agencies to submit waste reduction plans. Failure to comply will result in tech support intervention, which is essentially what my team is doing – fixing outdated government computer systems. We aim to find a trillion dollars in savings to prevent national bankruptcy. Every agency will have a "mini Elon Musk" to justify spending. We're freezing government credit cards for 30 days and doing a pulse check via email to see if employees are real and responsive, we suspect some are dead or even fictional. Some people are upset with our aid to Ukraine which has been spent on things like fashion shows, wine, and cheese puffs. Providing money to LGBTQ individuals in Serbia is also coming under fire. Some are questioning the loyalty of Elon Musk because of this. The Biden years proved we don't even need an active president, because institutions are running everything behind the scenes.

I discussed some of the concerning individuals surrounding Musk. Does this surprise you? Sadly, no. It's a familiar pattern. Experienced professionals aren't drawn to such chaotic and toxic environments. This approach appeals to a specific type of person, as we saw at Twitter. Inexperienced engineers evaluated our code, and we endured loyalty exercises like printing code and justifying our work—a demoralizing and insulting process. I'm hearing similar accounts of long-tenured federal employees facing similar humiliating situations. This is insulting to the dedicated federal employees who work hard daily. It's truly unacceptable.

Social Security needs a closer look. We're finding people listed as recipients who are 50 years old, but I don't know anyone that age receiving benefits. They'd be incredibly old, practically setting a world record. It seems likely many of these individuals have passed away, or they would be very well known. There's a clear problem with the accuracy of the records.

We've found some odd things, like bureaucrats with modest salaries somehow accumulating millions while in their positions. It makes you wonder where that money comes from. It seems taxpayers are footing the bill for this wealth. Basic controls that any company would have are missing at Treasury, like payment categorization codes or comments explaining payments. The "do not pay" list, meant for terrorists and fraudsters, takes up to a year to get on and isn't even used. Departments fail audits because of these missing controls. It boils down to complaint minimization. Approving all payments avoids complaints, even from fraudsters. But we need to complain when money is misspent and demand taxpayer dollars are used wisely. It's just common sense. We even see people claiming Social Security who are 50 years old!

A recent report revealed that only about 1% of federal employees are working in the office, excluding security personnel. This situation is unacceptable to the American public. The new administration and Congress will likely push for federal workers to return to their offices and fulfill their responsibilities. The focus will be on common sense, accountability, and efficiency in government, which will ultimately benefit the people.
