00:00Elon Musk has sent out this email telling federal employees, tell me what you did last
00:05week. Just talk us through what you think the thinking here is.
00:10Well, anytime a company takes over another company in a merger or an acquisition, you
00:17go through an audit. And that's exactly how Donald Trump and Elon Musk are going about
00:22their approach. They have just received a broken U.S. economy as well as a broken administration.
00:29And they're trying to fix it. So the first thing Elon Musk is going to go and do, as
00:33any sensible person would do, any CPA, which is a certified public accountant, would do,
00:39is to go and do a line audit. And what we are finding in this process is a lot of wastage,
00:45a lot of federal employees who don't exactly work. And they're saying, well, what's going
00:50on here? So I don't think this is a bad request to say, well, what exactly are your job duties?
00:56As any HR person would go and ask those very questions. So why there's so much pushback
01:02by Democrats and other federal employees. It's actually kind of strange to me. It's
01:09a simple question in an email that Elon Musk has asked. List the five things that you've
01:13done this week. Most employees can fill that out. That's not a hard question.
