Elon’s mass harassment email to all federal employees underscores the importance of having unions to represent workers against abusive management.
Elon’s mass harassment email to all federal employees underscores the importance of having unions to represent workers against abusive management.
The Boer must go
He's a nasty piece of work.
💪
Especially management that isn't management. What federal employees does he legally manage? What is his title? What department does he work for?
None. Nothing. None.
I wonder what would happen if we all wrote letters to hr@opm.gov enumerating our tasks from last week, and encouraging the reader to resist this illegal and immoral bullshit? Also, I like to increase folks knowledge with a "word of the day" lesson. I hope it's helpful.
Should report the mail as spam/phishing.
It is time for Elon & DOGE to go. They've done enough damage. youtu.be/odFG5YupiAE
👍
I hope some brave souls respond with explicit erotic stories about themselves and their co-workers running a train on DOGE employees mothers.
Unions is rendered powerless as they have no respect for chain of command. National leaders reaching out to individual workers and making threats is unethical, unacceptable and unheard of. This way there is no way to shield anyone from illegal activity like they are doing now.
Punish Elon musk
MuskRAT thinks he is a Marvel villain. Calls himself a meme
Unions have done so much for the American worker. Now they continue to be a defense against the fascism.
I feel like if this were Europe, France in particular, literally millions would’ve been in the streets by this point creating havoc.
It's true. French author Susan George wrote in her book, "Another World is Possible...If" that the French are not afraid of their government. There should be millions in the streets here.
Beware: Idus Martiae
True but he’s just waiting for the chance to declare martial law. We’ve been at state capitols, but our best bet is to harass…contact the hell out of our reps, boycott as much as possible (hitting their pockets sends the quickest message). Sometimes being petty is all we peasants have to hold onto.
The UK & France are both smaller than the state of Texas. Folks there can basically leave their home & run over to Downing St or where ever to protest. I wish we could all protest in DC everyday, but we're so spread out here in the US that we have to protest locally.
No, neither can just leave their homes and run over to downing st or Versailles. Neither is as big as Texas, but the distances are not that tiny.
South Korea just impeached and removed their president. Swift, decisive action against an overstep of power. Perfect blueprint.
I’m in the UK and we’ve got our own problems with right wing nutjobs who are looking enviously at the US for guidance. So has France and keep an eye on the German Elections today the openly Nazi AfD are high in the polls.

Looks like he was born with microcephaly.
Nope, just micro-penis
You get a 10/10 and a follow for that one.
That’s why he hates women
What a fucking geek with a broken dick 🤦🏻♀️
All federal employees need to not respond, unplug the servers on the way out, lock and bar the door, throw away the keys. Fuck the f-Elons.
He would have a ten page paper from me. Everyone should submit the same.
And Musk isn’t their manager.
The right responds to him is justify your work first tech bro doichebag
There are three million federal employees. His minions can't vet them in any rational time frame. It's subterfuge:
AI can do it in a matter of minutes. There will be a formula behind it and those the AI “fails” will get termination notices.
The parameters any AI algorithm is given can determine the outcome, whether it's fair or even rational. The prompt is the key.
Last time I heard of an AI being used to do mass decision-making, a bunch of insurance claims were wrongfully declined and Luigi fixed it.
That was my thought but I was wondering what you thought it was covering for
Yes we are. Plus they literally sound like bullshit so…SPAM
Being one of the recipients, it’s a huge middle finger. I’ll probably end up responding because I need to keep my job and my office is understaffed already, but boy do I fantasize about the things I’d rather send.
The Unions told everyone not to respond.
Get a lawyer
I have federal employee personal liability insurance that gives me access to lawyers if it comes to it. For now, any lawsuits that come of this will probably be class actions
Tesla has circumvented the blockade of their cars in Sweden. One of our unions is at the helm and since we are a country with very high union membership, everyone have pitched in. But they are now using external deliverers and people who don't seem to give a fuck.
Remerbering when Trump and Musk laughed about firing any union worker who went on strike. This was only one example back in August '24. Kamala warned us. youtu.be/Llo9BhmxHVk?...
You are a gem, sir.
An total flog. He ranks with Rupert Murdoch as the lowest US import ever. Both are screwing over American culture and workers.
Where are their unions??
The government employees also need some Republicans to stand up on their side.
We can’t rely on them. There are only a handful of Democrat politicians we can rely on and it’s not enough. It’s up to us.
Yes, solidarity forever!
NOT ONE employee should respond. Let him panic!
Trump is absolutely abusive management. He's a fictional character as a president. He truly isn't capable in the real world. He's just acting in a reality show that Elon Musk bought.
Absolutely. This is a clear statement on how much disdain Musk and Trump have for working people and how they treat their own employees. If they have their way, all of us will be under their thumbs and treated this way.
I feel bad for the HR dept on Monday morning 😬
His goal is to get people to quit. He is a disgrace. 🤮
Yes. It is harassment. Indeed. Hammer. Meet. Nail. Add that to the Bonfire of the Inanities. Plenty of bargaining units have already copped to the fact that this harassment is illegal AF. I think #MutinyMonday kicks off as soon as the courthouse doors fly open.
Right. He is not my boss. She knows WTF I did last week.
Creating a hostile work environment only serves to weed out talented, dedicated staffers, who will seek new opportunities. All very well trying this, and the 5% annual cull, at somewhere like Goldman Sachs, where rewards can be astronomical. But in the public sector, it's 100% counterproductive.
Musk did this at Twitter, and we know what followed. So, will the US civil service now be run by Russian trolls and porn bots?
My union was powerless to stop abusive management that harassed me this way. I have no idea how to stop bad managers doing this shit.
Our U. S. Senators need to resign if they won’t follow their Constitutional mandated duty to remove the 47th. He is insane and a dangerous to all in his current position.
Project 2025’s blueprint includes a personnel database of loyalists to replace 10,000’s of federal government civil servants, a private online educational tool to train them, and an unpublished 180-day playbook with transition plans for each federal agency. He’s toying w/ them before replacing them.
I just wish workers were more in tune with the negative possibilities of not being in a union before all the crises come knocking at their doors!
As CEO what did musk do for Tesla or space x last week?. Lazy fuck probably did nothing but tweet and doge. Musk should resign immediately.
It’s another potent reminder that this fucking guy need to be prosecuted that’s what it is. He’s a private citizen coming in without authorization and aiming mostly at regulatory agencies that were coming after his companies. Where the fuck are we???
Even managers should be included in some way against abuse. His addiction problem is now our problem and greatly complicates providing mental and physical healthcare in the countries largest provider of services to Veterans. It’s feeling more than catastrophic.
We have a Union. Elon is required to go through the Union but doesn’t. He thinks he’s a queen but RuPaul would make it clear to Elon that he’s a 💩
That email wreaks deception. Since he doesn't have a clue what the federal government does, is he trying to find out what federal employees actually do in their jobs? Is this the foundation to put duties in categories, then consolidate agencies?
It didn't happen in a void. He has probably been an insufferable POS anytime he was confronted with failure, like with his fork bullshit.
The best thing all federal workers can do is simply not respond. Elon can't fire everyone.
Actually, it would be funnier if each and everyone of them did a “Reply All” and bring the email server down.
Haha yes!
Why are we doin this we don't have to accept it. We gotta stop all of it. When do we ride?
I just received my local ballot in the mail. Every single fucking candidate is a Republican. THAT is what's wrong with America. Democrats HAVE TO FUCKING WORK FOR A LIVING while Republicans run for office and fuck up our country.
You should run for office against these aholes
I want to know who on his staff has the time to read them?
Already dod and fbi told their employees to ignore that email 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am a huge union advocate. Unfortunately as a fire manager, I do not have union protections. Supervisors don’t have them. I’ve decided not to respond to the email. They are not in my chain of command. My supervisor knows what I did. I don’t owe them an explanation. Not in my chain of command.
💯 Same.
Yep.
When an email is too much to ask, you’re probably not fit for any workplace.
Problem is this administration has already taken down all of the guard rails to protect unions no NLRB no DOL and released a memo that all DOD construction projects going forward will not recognize Union labor agreements
Wise words 🙏 ✈️😎
Except HE'S NOT MANAGEMENT!!! He has NO AUTHORITY and he and his high school band of bros should be arrested for trespassing!
And no one who isn't a federal employee should write to HR@OPM.gov explaining what they did all week in a bullet formated email.
Wow, from the NYT this morning : “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up,” Ms. Ortiz said. “I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...
You're always right period. and I've watched every episode you were in STAR TREK and I truly miss you there...
All federal workers except managers are members of a union. National Federation of Federal Employees, which was established in 1917. Elon doesn’t care.
Simple answer: do not respond. Nobody can legitimately fire you from a job you’re performing well for failing to respond to one email. It’s rubbish.
Sir, I don't even know what to do at this point. I can barely muster the strength to go on.
Very true.
Well that didn't take too long 😬 youtu.be/b-t_6U7OyQs?...
I wonder how such a mail can possibly make it through the spam filter -?
I think DOGE at hr@opm.gov should see more of this. From as many poeple and accounts as possible.
Under what authority does the ketamine-addicted chainsaw-brandishing Nazi think permits him to issue his demand? Not part of DOGE, per Fascist Felon47 the Feebleminded. DO NOT COMPLY!
Love you for this George. 🥰
Ya know, literally ANYONE can reply to HR@OPM.gov to voice their opinions
✔️ Done
Spot on 🎯
You know George. I know you know. You came from that era. To anyone else -read my thread, tell me I’m wrong BUT come armed with info NOT STUPID MEMES cause I will bend you over my knee and spank you with HISTORICAL FACTS bsky.app/profile/trad...
Also that he can’t write a simple email.
Here is my response: 1. 🖕 2..🖕 3...🖕 4....🖕 5.....🖕
Why the heck is he even sending those e-mails to begin with if he isn't in charge of DOGE anymore? He has no actual power to do anything, well, besides give Donald bad advice which lowers his approval level into the negatives and makes him seem weird.
The entirety of the US needs to go on strike. Everyone needs to down tools, shut the country down. Strke, strike, strike.
I've often wondered why unions weren't a bigger part of life.
They were, Reagan started pushing back. They were so big in the 50s through 70s because of anti communism, a way to make sure people didn't consider other options.
Under 18 U.S. Code § 876, sending a threatening communication through the mail, which includes email, is considered a crime. Threatening Email: To be considered a threat, the email must contain language that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear for their safety or the safety of others.
You need to watch this, now.
Yup my friend has been sick to her stomach all week with this crap. Today? on a WEEKEND she gets an email stating she must provide 3 accomplishments she made this week to keep her job...
I hope all ignore his directive. He is not in charge of any federal agency. He is a rogue agent acting illegally.
Elon’s found his niche as an all-weather worst-case scenario.
Is this his way of getting around criticism that they are firing people without forethought?
The US badly needs a general strike. The people who actually do the work have a lot of muscle, if only they would learn to exercise it.
Busting up unions and their organization efforts to unionize has been a right wing mantra for years and now musk and trump laugh as they lay off thousands
The email address to reply to is hr@opm.gov. What you do with that information is your business
How did this email get leaked in the first place? 🤣
Someone took a screenshot of the email and anonymously posted it
Oooh, do you think it's a mole or a disgruntled person in DOGE who had enough of Musk? 😼
There are resisters in government positions who are leaking anything and everything they can. From the look of the screenshot, it was a received email
May they never get caught. 🤫
I'm not squealer
Yeah, but that would hinder the ability of abusive billionaires to harass employees. 🫤 There are two sides to this coin. 🪙
Elon Musk is a domestic terrorist.
Is he though? He came to the US from SA via Canada… Sure, he’s here, but remains one of the criminal immigrants the felon-in-chief rallied against.
Both are in the fast lane on the Highway To Hell.
"When all loyal options are ruled out, what remains, no matter how unlikely it seems, must point to betrayal."
Right how about we mass harass his companies.
The muskrat is just showing why unions are so important. These billionaires do not care about workers' welfare.
Union members need to quit voting for the fascists.
They all should respond "I DID MY JOB" or "GARGLE MY BALLS."
There is nothing, including unions, to save the hard working AMERICAN federal workers from the coup taking place. The dehumanizing manner of Elon Musk's approach to fire workers without due process or just cause is heartbreaking. Illegal too but tRump and spineless GOP refuse to stop the insanity,
A lot of the unions are caving to this bull shit
Reply email: Sorry Elonia, but you don't have the security clearance (not the intelligence) to know what I have been doing this past week.
"Beg me for your job" vibes.
Big balls can’t even support his children. Who cares what a dead beat dad says?
He wants them all to report, but he fired the only people who could read and understand those reports, who is he goinbg to charge for reading those? What a massive waste of federal workers time and tax payer money. Let them all quit and see how far they get with nobody
They made it clear before the election that they had no respect for unions. This is the result of the people thinking they were making a statement voting for trump. Everything we anticipated happening is happening.
Last time i checked, Federal employees DON’T WORK FOR ELON MUSK. The midterms CAN’T come soon enough.
George you must know the Yanks [that is those with all the money and power] enjoy pushing the little chap around and don't want to take any back chat, this is how it was in Victorian England, take a pay cut or you lose your job, that's how it's heading in Trumps MAGA empire.
We need to be building a guillotine on the National Mall.
It’s the Gilded Age, the sequel.
I love and admire you, George Takei.
-Celebrated President's Day in reverence to our king and Savior. Is this pouring it on too much?
Why in the world would anyone have to take orders from that POS!
Don’t think union-busting isn’t a HUGE part of the agenda
Every single FEDERAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE should walk off of the job and shut the entire system down until the rogue administration resigns. >>🚨SPREAD THE WORD🚨<< generalstrikeus.com
By federal unions can’t strike. Any federal worker who strikes, proposes a slow down, or stoppage can be fired.
They're all getting fired anyway at this rate, may as well go down fighting instead of bowing down to this guy.
My wife got that email tonight. Utter bullshit.
They should reply, Fuck you Elon, illegal immigrant.
So Elon has every federal employee’s email address now. That could be really valuable to a big business or an enemy. This is what happens when a president who is unsupervised says to the generous billionaire, please run my country into the ground - I won’t supervise you, go play with fire
Psychological warfare. Repeat the behavior enough people will become desensitized and eventually the behavior will become accepted. The GOP and evangelical horde are the very people who would tell where Anne is hiding. If we make it through we need better speech laws.
Goebbels would have been so proud.
It would be ironic if they all go out the same way he did.
It was meant to intimidate.
We report to immediate supervisors not OPM
It's a case and point.
Should ask Trump what he did last week. Trump’s response- played golf.
bsky.app/profile/7777...
Let's revoke Elon Musk's American citizenship! This does not need to go through Congress, it may be filed directly with the U.S. District Court. Sign and share, share, SHARE! chng.it/RXKRLVxX6x
When we’re done with OPM Getting the Nazi drug tested should be next #Resistance can be fun too. ODAPCWebMail@dot.gov

Provided the Courts continue to step up and SCOTUS finds its backbone
Yes 🙌
And of having oversight.
I’m still shocked by the judge who ruled against the unions stating they had no standing. If anyone has standing, it is the unions. 🤷♀️
He's drunk with power
Well you know what happens to power drunks. Pol pot and Gaddafi comes to mind.
Except in this game of thrones, DOJ knocks down unions 🤔
Unions only work if the people belonging to them are irreplaceable, don't they?
Most workers are crucial to any employers. They are just aren't encouraged to believe that.
Agreed Alan, in industry that's the case. I'm not sure how one measures the output, performance, or necessity of federal government employees though, I know a couple of people who worked for the civil service, that left it out of boredom.
There are a lot of performance indicators and got set targets. A lot of govt jobs are manual work whilst desktops will have targets to meet. I know people in many jobs who left because they were bored
I can't argue with you because I have no idea, I do know that we wait a long time to get projects reviewed. I'm not suggesting they're underworked or overworked, just that they do 40 hours and clock off. There's no deadlines.
No problem Ian I understand it can feel like that and in some cases it feels like that as well. There are deadlines not always met. I can cite many private companies where I've had similar experiences.
I do agree that some jobs have greater impact when their is a need to strike. In LA finance staff and refuse collectors often lead the days when on strike.

Also, this sounds like his intent is collect data for some other horrible reason than stated. Like somekind of database. I hope no employee does this, they must be very scared thou.
www.wsj.com/world/russia...
apnews.com/article/musk...
Yes and he is waging war on labor from X to us...
Yes While they are not perfect I worked on both sides of the line Kansas and Missouri.. In Kansas my job was threatened at PENNY'S before fmla if I missed another day other than my dads death don't come back....yep...I preferred a union almost protected me from even the UNION....the boys yikes..
Thats why we all every single one of us flood that address with emails I sent my 5 thoughts on the POS Hope I don't have secret service showing up at my door time to step out of the comfort zone if you want a secure non traceable email try proton
If you’re a federal employee and don’t have professional liability insurance yet, please consider purchasing it today.
Yes it does. Unions are important so long as they aren’t corrupt. Unions in NYC had connections to the mob and here we are with a national mobster
HR@opm.gov
I’ll bet they get thousands of spam emails 😂🤣
I came across this parody commercial for AFSCME from the 70s via @moreperfectunion.bsky.social . I don't know why but for some reason I feel strangely comforted and sense of trust from hearing this voice over. 😆❤️
Patel told Musk he would do his own evaluation of FBI employees. Who would think that Patel would be the man of the moment?
But…he’s not management, right?
THANK you. He’s not their boss. He He has no more right to ask for this information than William Shatner. And at least Shatner was funny on Saturday Night Live
Trump ordered this.
In writing? Through proper channels? Through federal employees? Through Congressionally-authorized agencies?
If they’re going to destroy our government, at the very least we should not allow them to be lazy about it.
Let’s not forget who the master mind behind this is, Russell Vought. He is the current head of OMB, and a major contributor to Project 2025, he is the man planning the terrorizing of federal employees. He’s hiding in the background, we should not forget his name.
Trump has been outed as a Russian spy - codename #Krasnov! www.msn.com/en-us/politi...
Translation: “Crash US”, it’s taken decades, be he and his team are finally getting their chance.
I keep saying this; America's at will employment laws are part of the reason for this enormous mess.
BErnie Sanders said what I’ve been saying all along we need to make elections free on the public broadcasting network!!!$
The Legal system is set up for wealthy people so if you are wealthy, you could literally commit rape and just say she’s too ugly for me to rape and get away with it like Trump did. But if you’re poor, you can go to prison for simply jaywalking. Similarly, only wealthy people can run for office
Many service workers don't have access to home email & an insufficient number of computers they have access to. Housekeepers,maintainance,cafeteria workers would come up to icu off tours to use our desk computers because they were locked out of their offices & had mandatories to do. 😔 😡
But isn’t there a possible bright side? I mean, since Trump likely can’t use email on his own, and he’ll likely fail to reply — isn’t there an outside chance the orange one will have to be fired?
Can you imagine what it's been like for people at Tesla or Xitter?
Aren't all Federal employees in unions? Like AFSCME at least.
NFFE, AFGE, NTEU, NALC, may be more
Air Traffic Controllers have the NATCA union but are still being harrases.
And Reagan did a lot of damage there.
Good response from the Oversight Committee oversightdemocrats.house.gov/news/press-r...
Ok but everyone with half a brain has been removed from OPM. Musk and Cheeto control that place. What does a protest letter do ? Unless they have the power to force an action it’s just a piece of paper.
Everyone should email hr@omp.gov and let them know the 5 things they accomplished last week. I'm sure it won't bog down their email server 😁
Done and done
They don't even work for him.
If they see the poor as "parasites" is it a surprise they see themselves as superior? This is a man who said he thinks unions create an adversarial mindset. He's actually correct because using that word implies a combatant on equal footing rather than the slave-master relationship he prefers?
It’s really quite unbelievable that the number 1 government cheese welfare queen is running around rampant looking for graft and corruption. He must not look in the mirror much.
So great lmao
Thank you for your service and continue the good fight
Everyone copy and paste this please 😂😂
How about we ask him WTF HE did last week??
We know that answer..destroyed democracy!!!
And tweeted about it non-stop. Clearly he’s not doing anything so I say we cut of ALL his federal contracts.
Remember all this shit can be traced back to Reagan. He tried to kill unions
Underscores need for bullets
We need to give it back. Consider joining me in sending an email to HR@OPM.gov especially if you’re not a federal employee. Maybe list 5 things you did. I’m sure they’ll appreciate an overwhelming response
Email your own list to HR@opm.gov
Elon acting like every manager who knows nothing about the work but acts like everything that goes well is because of their meddling. Feel like everyone who actually does real work has had someone like that and yet people still seem to support what he's doing
I have been screaming this for awhile now! Are labor unions aware that they are under attack by this administration?
Canada rejecting musk . Sign the online petition to have muskrat's canadian citizenship revoked . Enough of the nazi crap .
If he is interfering in the countries internal affairs, his citizenship should be revoked. Also declare him as a domestic terrorist. We do not want that nazi s*** up here.
Musk seems to have a drug-induced sense of invincibility. He's destroying lives and mocking their suffering. He is literally making thousands of enemies every single day. It only takes one person to see something like that chainsaw stunt and snap.
This guy has literally smoked weed in public
That's not the big crime you think it is although it is a huge disqualifier for federal security clearances and background checks for jobs. It definitely should have prevented him from being given his current position.
Yes my point exactly. Will he be drug tested as a federal employee or “boss”. It’s ridiculous
Someone should sue him for spamming and theft of network bandwidth :D
All federal workers should take a sick leave all week next week!
Unfortunately, with the NRLB and the federal labor board being minions of the orange turd, who do they really have to cover for them? State labor boards? 🍀 Unless the union local wants to hire a lawyer to do their fighting. I don’t see anyone covering employees backs at this moment. #GOP HATES YOU.
