Elon Musk issued an ultimatum to federal workers, instructing them to report their work accomplishments via email or resign. The email, sent to various agencies, requested employees to provide a summary of what they accomplished the previous week by a Monday deadline. Despite Musk’s post on X, the email did not mention termination for those who failed to respond. The move was part of the Trump administration’s commitment to an efficient federal workforce. However, the American Federation of Government Employees criticized the message as cruel and disrespectful, promising legal challenges if any members are unlawfully terminated. This comes as chaos around federal firings continue following an executive order signed by Trump directing a workforce optimization initiative created by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. Approximately 75,000 federal employees took buyouts before layoffs were announced, with potential layoffs possibly exceeding 100,000 workers. The development highlights the ongoing turmoil within the federal workforce and the impact of Musk’s influence on government efficiency efforts.
