Elon Musk demanding he knows what every single federal employee is working on doesn't sound very safe or efficient.

As of November 2024, the federal government employed just over 3 million people. The number of federal employees has topped 3 million since September 2024. The last time the government could claim that many employees was in September 1994.

If every employee in the federal government responds, that will be 3 million emails. Assuming a minimum of 5 minutes spent reading and evaluating each email, DOGE will need at least 10,000 man hours to complete the task. Even with Elmo’s infamous 160 hour work week, that would take over 62 weeks. 

Or he could just say he fed it all to Grok, and we could trust him to tell us what Grok said.

DOGE is a farce. And yet it’s being treated as a tragedy. Certainly its effects are going to be.
