I don't understand why they even needed this.
I assume the US Federal Government works like other jurisdiction where the message is passed to all the departments/agencies who then send it to their employees from someone on high (Deputy Minister/Secretary) or a dedicated internal email address.
While this may seem like duplicating work dozens or hundreds of times, it's not that much work and it's not used that often. Plus, it has the advantage of not coming from an external email address.
Elon Musk thinks he's very important
if you think that he is not, you're mistaken
i hope he dies in 3 days, counting from yesterday
North Korea has radios that play state-sanctioned propaganda and it's illegal to turn them off. Dictators like to cram messages directly into the people.
This is so Elon Musk can send out "morale boost" emails about working very hardcore.
Thats exactly how it works right now....really interested to see how they plan to use this...
Back during the pandemic, Trump had the postal service send a letter to every single mailbox in America about the COVID relief money, to make sure everyone knew he was "responsible". It'll be like that. But email.
Thanks for confirming that. Yeah, I'm also interested to see how this is used. Other comments don't seem to get that politicians in charge give messages to pass to employees and the top bureaucrats just make it happen, so this seems completely unnecessary. Maybe they're being paranoid that their controversial messages would be censored?
