This is how I would respond to the email Musk sent to government employees.
1. Slipped out the back, Jack
2. Made a new plan, Stan
3. Didn’t need to be coy, Roy, just listen to me
4. Hopped on the bus, Gus, don’t need to to discuss much
5. Dropped off the key, Lee and set myself free

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice).
1. Refused to violate the law.
2. Refused to violate the Constitution.
3. Refused to bow or scrape.
4. Refused to bend a knee.
5. Deleted this stupid email.

The government shuts down on March 14 unless Congress passes a new spending bill. Republicans need Democratic votes to pass anything, but they’re pushing a budget that slashes essential programs, attacks basic rights, and hands unchecked power over to Trump, Elon Musk, and their billionaire allies.

Tonight’s newest EO lays out a plan to fire (RIF) roughly 75% of the federal workforce outright. Any non-essential personnel will be removed from their posts and all new hired must be approved by DOGE team leaders.
THIS IS AN FULL ON ATTACK ON OUR GOVERNMENT.

Sen. Tina Smith: Millions of federal workers got a memo—“Resign by Feb 6, and we’ll pay your salary through Sept.” That’s almost certainly illegal. A VA worker told me, “I’ve devoted my life to veterans. If I take this, will I get paid? If I don’t, will they see me as an enemy?”

The rhetorical triangle is an old approach for framing arguments I use w/ MBA students:
Logos: use ur intellect, backed by evidence & reasoning; no bluffing!
Ethos: ensure to first gain credibility & authority on an issue; no winging it!
Pathos: be passionate & appeal to emotions; care about it!
