00:00Mr. President, thank you.

00:02Mr. Musk, are there about half of the government

00:05employees so far appear to have responded to your

00:08request for what they've been doing over the past

00:10week?

00:10Is there a timeline in place for next moves for

00:13people being fired?

00:14And when can the American people expect to see

00:16results of that?

00:17Prime Minister Musk Yes.

00:19Well, to be clear, like the — I think that email

00:24perhaps was best interpreted as a performance

00:26review, but actually it was a post-check review.

00:29Do you have a pulse?

00:30Do you have a pulse and two neurons?

00:33So if you have a pulse and two neurons, you can

00:37reply to an email.

00:39This is, you know, I think not a high bar is what

00:42I'm saying.

00:43This is — should be — anyone could accomplish

00:46this.

00:46But what we are trying to get to the bottom of is

00:49we think there are a number of people on the

00:51government payroll who are dead, which is probably

00:55why they can't respond.

00:57And some people who are not real people, like

01:00they're literally fictional individuals that

01:01are collecting paycheck — well, somebody's

01:03collecting paychecks on a fictional individual.

01:05So we're just literally trying to figure out, are

01:06these people real?

01:08Are they alive?

01:09And can they write an email?

01:11Which I think is a reasonable expectation for

01:13the American — you know, the American public

01:15would have at least that expectation of someone in

01:17the public sector.

01:18The Press Mr. Musk, roughly a million —

01:20Prime Minister Musk This is not a high bar, guys.

01:22Come on.

01:23The Press Roughly a million employees have

01:25responded so far to this email.

01:26Does that mean that the remaining one million or

01:29so federal employees now risk being terminated?

01:31And is it your understanding and expectation, when

01:34you post a directive on X, that the Cabinet

01:36secretaries will follow that order?

01:38Because several agencies have instructed employees

01:41that this is voluntary or not to respond.

01:43Mr. Lowe Yeah.

01:45Well, I mean, to be — so I guess it was, like,

01:49last week, the President encouraged me via

01:52TruthSocial and also via phone call to be more

01:55aggressive.

01:56And I was like, okay, you know, yes, sir,

02:00Mr. President, we will indeed do that.

02:03The President, as the Commander-in-Chief, I do

02:05what the President asks.

02:07So I said, can we send out an email to everyone

02:11just saying, what did you get done last week?

02:13And the President said yes, so it did that.

02:17And, you know, we got a partial response.

02:21We're going to send another email.

02:23But our goal is not to be capricious or unfair.

02:27It's — we want to give people every opportunity

02:29to send an email.

02:31And the email could simply be, what I'm working on

02:33is too sensitive or classified to describe.

02:37Like, literally just — that would be sufficient.

02:39You know, I think this is just common sense.

02:44The Press And what is your target number for how

02:45many workers, employees you're looking to cut total?

02:49Mr. Lowe We wish to keep everyone who is doing a

02:52job that is essential and doing that job well.

02:56But if they're — if the job is not essential

02:59or they're not doing the job well,

03:00they obviously should not be on the public payroll.
