Well, crap.

Octavia Spencer trolled employees of Elon Musk‘s newly formed Department of Government Efficiency by offering to bake the very special chocolate pie from her Oscar-winning 2011 movie The Help.

Sharing a photo of her character Minny during a memorable scene from the historical drama on Instagram, Spencer advertised a bake sale in Washington, D.C. for “all DOGE employees and supporters.”

“I need good vanilla from MEXICO and some CANADIAN maple syrup,” she wrote of the “limited edition” pies. “Corn and chocolate. Need lots of donations for the special ingredient. Eat looooooooots of corn. one time sale.”

Directed by Tate Taylor and set against the backdrop of 1960s Mississippi, The Help centered on the stories of Black women who have spent their lives caring for prominent white families. Spencer’s character notably baked a chocolate pie filled with her own feces to exact revenge against her boss (played by Bryce Dallas Howard) after she’s unjustly fired.

“We made our beautiful, beautiful pie with sugar and butter and all that sort of stuff and put it on the table. Then, we switched it out for a pie that didn’t have any sugar in it for [Howard],” the film’s property master Chris Ubick told Entertainment Weekly back in 2017. “It was a very big sleight of hand scene so that she could eat lots of pie and not feel like she’s been eating so much sugar.”

President Donald Trump announced the creation of DOGE last month, a task force led by Tesla CEO Musk that has gutted billions in federal funding and targeted the likes of diversity, equity, and inclusion and the Department of Education. The scope of the entity’s work and its employees isn’t fully clear, alarming lawmakers, government workers, and Oscar winners alike. Dozens of lawsuits have been filed against the tech billionaire and DOGE as a result, arguing that Musk’s authority is unconstitutional.

In response, the White House issued a contradictory statement claiming that Musk is technically not employed at DOGE and has no decision-making authority. “In his role as a Senior Advisor to the President, Mr. Musk has no greater authority than other senior White House advisors,” said Joshua Fisher, director of the White House Office of Administration, in a court filing obtained by The Hill.
