Elon Musk wants federal workers to tell him what they've been doing recently via email or risk losing their jobs, and his request has resulted in some inevitable trolling. In the Late Show video above, Stephen Colbert gets gleefully in on the action.
"Now obviously the only proper email response to that is: 'What did I do last week? 1. Your mom. 2. Your mom. 3. Your mom. 4. Your mom. and 5. Your mom.'" says Colbert. "But please don't do that, because you know Elon Musk is going to use AI to screen these responses, so you'll want to include keywords like '1. Your mom synergistically, 2. Your mom effectively, 3. Your mom productively, 4. Your mom efficiently, and 5. Your mom, teamwork.'"
Other people, meanwhile, have been coming up with more creative responses.
