Is the end game (or one of them) for Leon to train his AI on what federal workers do in their jobs so he can sell the gov’t an AI replacement for that work? 🤔

@elonmusk: 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.
