Federal Workers Face Chaos as Musk's Ultimatum Sparks Resistance

Elon Musk's recent ultimatum demanding federal employees list their accomplishments within 48 hours has led to widespread confusion and resistance among key government agencies. As the deadline approached, agencies such as the FBI, State Department, and Homeland Security openly defied Musk's directive, with FBI Director Kash Patel asserting the agency's autonomy. Lawmakers from both parties expressed concerns over the legality and practicality of Musk's demands, with some stating that it undermines the dignity of federal workers. Unions are threatening legal action against Musk, calling his directive unlawful and disrespectful to public servants. The initiative from Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has been criticized as simplistic and has reportedly shown errors in its purported savings. As federal employees navigate this chaotic situation, the impact of Musk's approach remains uncertain.
