I was forced today

80. No, I

didn't miss the point of the OP.
The Dept of VA falls under the executive branch. Whether we like it or not, the "CEO" is now Trump, and whoever he appoints is in charge. It might suck, but that's what it is. We can pretend to not accept it, but that only serves to work against us, not them.
I'm more reality based, so I'm holding out to see what actually happens as a result of this. If the worst is him asking what people did last week, then I think this is all just noise. It is not unusual to be asked to prove your worth in an organization, I have to do it every week and have for nearly 2 decades. I also don't think anyone believes Elon Musk is going to read hundreds of thousands of emails and analyze them, and neither are the couple dozen data analysts he has running queries. And even though we don't like it, HR now works for Trump as well. Does it suck? Yes, it certainly does, but that is what we have here.
We have to get out of this thinking that Trump is stupid. It might be funny to gag around, but he's not stupid. He's not going to destroy the VA, it would be suicide for him and any hopes he has of the legacy he is clawing for.
