Doge chief Elon Musk teased Monday that federal workers could receive a second email asking them to list their weekly achievements.
Tesla and SpaceX founders warnings remove a list of five bullet points by the Human Resources Office (OPM) detailing the responses to emails sent on Saturday achieved in the last five business days It was done hours after multiple agencies were notified of its actions – as Musk argued, “voluntary” and failure to respond was not considered a resignation.
“The standard to pass the test was to type in and send a few words. Musk wrote to X:
“At the president's discretion, they will be given another opportunity,” he wrote in a separate post. “If the second response fails, a termination occurs.”
President Trump's billionaire of the Department of Government Efficiency argued that the level of concern caused by the initial Doge demand was “absurd,” and that the federal workforce was “something deeply wrong.”
Responses to the first batch of “what you achieved” were due by 11:59pm on Monday.
Trump, 78, defended Coach Musk's efforts before new guidance from OPM was distributed.
“We have people who don't show up for work, and there are people who don't even know if they're working for the government, so I thought it was great,” the president said to reporter in the oval office. He told the group. “What he's doing is saying, 'Are you actually working?' ”
an Amended lawsuit Federal workers filed in San Francisco federal court about OPM's firefighting campaign blow up mask email blast in an effort to reverse mass termination, with the Trump administration dismissing workers under the Administrative Procedure Act He claimed that he did not follow standard procedures.
“OPM is not complying with procedural requirements,” the amendment lawsuit states. “At least some federal agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, have begun instructing employees not to respond to this OPM surprise request.”
Musk tweeted that federal workers “hate the smallest accountability” in response to a lawsuit over email.
