I'm not sure if this was organized enough to be a major success, but I intend doing it anyway, hopefully there'll be more in future and it'll gain momentum as people get angrier

Senator Tina Smith said: This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

That was in response to Musk saying “Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”

Musk responded @SenTinaSmith “What did you get done last week?”

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota.

But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

Fehlende Wahlunterlagen: Briefwähler im Ausland verpassen Bundestagswahl Viele Deutsche im Ausland haben keine Wahlunterlagen erhalten. Einige wollen deshalb Einspruch gegen die Wahl einlegen.

Fingers crossed for the #germanelections today🤞I am - like many - not able to vote today although I registered way ahead of time…
