I am in Australia but I didn’t let that stop me chucking my hat in the ring in solidarity. I started sending emails at 6am Monday our time, updating him about all sorts of things I’ve been up to. It’s now 9.25pm and I’m still going :D

Thank you, thank you, Magz; we need all the help we can get for this situation that most of us never dreamed could happen in our country.

Dear Elon because you ask for 5 things:

1. I am now an official monthly donor for UCLA Guardian of Liberty because it is imperative that our nation's constitution is upheld.

2. I called and texted, but I will continue asking to fund the resistance this week. We must stop Tyrant Elon and his King T from restoring this country to monarchy times—or worse, a country led by oligarchs.

3. I provided analysis and recommendations on safeguarding themselves from misinformation and disinformation from the Trump mafiosos.

4. I hit the gym to build my strength and resilience in the fight against Trump’s militia and stormtroopers.

5. I deliberately nourish my body and mind to stay alert and maximize my cognitive abilities in the face of you two, whose behaviors clearly reflect a significant lack of empathy.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. This inspires me to email again!

I sent mine in this afternoon (Sunday).

This was my email.

Musk:

-Monday: I fed Thomas, our barn mouser. Then I took the rest of the day off. You know we Federal Employees!

-Tuesday: I had our county Animal Disposal at the farm; we lost a ewe last night (the donkey kicked her in the head — just like YOU are attempting to do to our entire country.) I took a sick day at work but I did log in to my workstation remotely so I could spend the day watching porn at high-speed.

-Wednesday: I spent several hours on video chat with an attorney friend, asking her about Constitutional Law. I found out that even though your head is full of excrement, you can still cause damage. But you will lose. Then I went to a public demonstration against your subordinate and protégé, 45.

-Thursday: I sat by the fireplace and read about how you are trying to externalize your self-loathing by making other people’s lives as miserable as you can. It won’t work. But I said I worked remotely (I’m running out of my 60 personal days).

-Friday: since it is the Sabbath, I asked for wisdom and strength.

Then I clocked out early after a long, highly liquid lunch and went home. You know we Federal Employees! Oh, and I expensed my lunch, too.

And, Musk - you can address me as Dr. Huggins.

This is downright perfect. Now I feel like I have to send a THIRD email to try to best yours, but I probably can't best yours.

Self-loathing, right. I've always said that no one hates Donald Trump more than Donald Trump. You can also see it in Stephan Miller, Trump's older sons and other leaders of his cult. Musk hadn't occurred to me until know, maybe because I'm not convinced he's as much a Trump follower as he is a Trump user. Like Putin, I think Musk sees Trump as an easy mark but Musk is also starting to look like he's overplaying his hand. With a little luck maybe they will all be consumed by each other's viciousness. A little push in that direction can't hurt.

Oh, you betcha Musk is a Dump user. I'm convinced that Dump is simply a puppet to be played by Musk and The Heritage Foundation who bought him out of jail time. They only needed the title in hand to do what they are doing. I'm hoping for that burn-out too.

Oh good for you. I really did have to send a second email because I forgot a few things. Well done, you.

Robert Reich emailed today, asking all of us to call the Capitol (202-224-3121) and ask that Elon Musk be fired. I did so, (and actually talked to a person) then I followed it up by emailing Murphy, suggesting that the Dems band together and file a class-action against the Felon-in-chief, and his Cabinet for dismantling our government of laws passed, over decades by our duly elected Congress.

Instead I sent a question....

Subject Line: How do you plan to analyze the data?

How will AI assist you to go through hundreds of thousands of email. Is this really a ruse to crash the network?

Ooooh. Good question.

I sent mine this afternoon as well, after seeing Fr David’s message of the same on YouTube. I have friends doing the same.

Oh, wonderful. I'm late to this party, then.

Here's mine!

1. I successfully met the deadlines for the publications I write for.

2. I called my Congressional representatives and thanked them for their efforts at holding co-prezzies trump and musk accountable for their violations of the Constitution and the rule of law.

3. I called the Speaker of the House Commander Johnson, and Senate Majority leader John Thune and demanded that they uphold the Constitution and rule of law, which are being flagrantly violated by co-prezzies trump and musk.

4. I googled “Gulf of Mexico” and when “Gulf of America” came up duly corrected them. Several times.

5. Scooped my cats’ litter boxes and vacuumed around them. Several times.

I sent mine this evening, retired, very boring week in sunny Australie

Good responses but I would believe they accept them only thru govt websites. I could be wrong here and hope so, my husband is a retired federal employee so I’ll skip this exercise for now. We need our pension.

The answer to Musk’s madness is to just say NO. If everyone treated him like a bad fart at a chorus recital (sniffed, winced and kept on singing) he would be exposed as the fraud he truly is. If the entire federal workforce rose as one and refused to do Musk’s bidding, refused to accept firings and just kept working for us citizens, perhaps the whole monstrosity of the current administration would collapse of its own weight. If we all work together we’ve got them outnumbered.
