Billionaire Elon Musk issued a controversial ultimatum to federal employees, demanding that they justify their work for the week or face resignation. The email, sent from the Office of Personnel Management, requested employees to summarize their accomplishments in five bullet points by a deadline. Musk’s post on social media platform X stated that failure to respond would be considered a resignation, in line with President Trump’s instructions. However, not all government officials are following this mandate, with FBI Director Kash Patel instructing employees to pause responses and review work internally. The American Federation of Government Employees criticized Musk and the Trump administration for the initiative, calling it disrespectful and cruel. A chapter representing National Treasury Employees Union members advised not responding to the email. OPM defended the request as part of the administration’s efforts for an efficient workforce. The email comes amid Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency’s attempts to make cuts to the federal workforce, including mass layoffs and agency dismantling. The move affects over 3 million federal employees and has sparked controversy.
