Democrats are really going off the rails with the “list five things you did last week” email that Elon Musk announced, and that was sent out by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). 

It’s probably less than what most people would normally do in their non-federal government jobs. It would take a few minutes at most. That is, assuming you were actually doing something. I’m not sure they’re even being asked to do this more than once. It may be a weeding-out process, as Musk indicated, to see if live people are actually responding. 

Yet, one Democratic senator called Musk a dirty word. A Democratic representative encouraged “massive civil disobedience” in response to the email and encouraged people to reply with “GFY.”  That’s basically telling the employees to be insubordinate to the head of the executive branch, who was duly elected by the American people. The Democrats were roundly mocked for their takes, for acting like it was abnormal to ask an employee to account for their work time.
