Elon’s DOGE gets my email

I asked ChatGPT for an image of Elon Musk, reading emails, with a confused look on his face. It wouldn’t create one, telling me that was a violation of it’s community guidelines. I suspect you can’t use a real person’s image as the basis for a hack job, I mean a creative interpretation. Oh well. This teenaged DOGE simulation will work almost as well.

So last week, Musk sent out that now notorious email to every federal employee, where he ordered them to respond by Friday, listing five things they did last week. He then Tweeted that if they didn’t respond by the deadline, he would take that as their resignation.

Somebody really needs to explain how the government works, because he doesn’t have a clue.

Anyway, I’m on Social Security, after paying into the program since 1974, so I better respond, right? Here’s my letter to Elon:

To: Musk, Elon

Here are the 5 bullet items I did last week, Elon. 
(As a Social Security recipient, I figure you’d want my response, too.)
1. I attended a City Council meeting. Two of them. The work session, and the regular session.
2. I attended a local sales tax oversight committee meeting.
3. I mowed my lawn
4. I took my husband to dinner several times during the week
5. I fed, watered, and emptied our dogs. (Thanks, David Gerrold, for the “empty the dogs” line! I love it! Sorry, I digress.)

Sincerely, (well, not THAT sincerely,)
