Federal Workers Face Email Demands from Elon Musk Amid Controversy
Federal employees are bracing for a wave of emails from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) requesting lists of their weekly accomplishments, a move initiated by Elon Musk and supported by the Trump administration. Civilian staff at the Department of Defense have been ordered to comply with these demands, facing potential job insecurity if they fail to respond. In a notable backlash, many have voiced their discontent, with some calling the initiative chaotic and even labeling it as a psychological operation. As confusion reigns, multiple federal agencies have advised their staff to ignore the email, while others, including Musk himself, have insisted on accountability, threatening termination for noncompliance. The situation has sparked heated discussions in Washington, with critiques from political figures and a surge of sarcastic responses flooding Musk’s email campaign.
