Elon Musk Threatens Federal Workers Over Email Responses

Elon Musk has stirred controversy by sending an email to all federal employees demanding they report their weekly accomplishments, threatening that failure to respond would be considered a resignation. The email, sent from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), requests five bullet points detailing employees' work, with a deadline set for Monday at 11:59 PM. Critics have mocked the email on social media, labeling it as micromanagement and expressing confusion over the implications of Musk's directive. Some federal employees are unionized, raising questions about the legality of Musk's threat and whether it violates labor laws. Past attempts by Trump and Musk to impose mass firings have faced legal challenges, indicating potential pushback from unions against this latest directive. As the reactions continue to unfold, the situation highlights ongoing tensions within the federal workforce under Musk's leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
