The email — sent with the subject line “What did you do last week?” just two hours after Musk’s post, and shared with POLITICO — asks employees to please reply with “approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and CC your manager.”

It instructs employees to not send any classified information.

To: Musk
CC: Manager
Subject: My Work

Kind regards, Elvith

Edit: Wait, I got a better version:

Dear Mr. Musk,

thank you for stating that I'm not obligated to reveal classified information. As you should be informed, the NDA of $department/$ministry/$agency does not only prevent me from revealing anything about classified projects, but I'm also not allowed to reveal if we do work on classified projects. If anyone at $position were to reveal that they only worked on non classified projects, we'd also be in violation of our NDA

Because of this, I can neither deny nor confirm that I did any work on anything in $timeframe.

Kind regards,
Elvith

Since the whole deal is about loyalty checks, this response would unfortunately give them exactly the truth they want to know.

Better to make shit up and end every sentence with "to the glory and vision of Donald J Trump and his witness Elon Musk."
