His post on X said employees will receive an email “shortly” requesting to “understand what they got done last week.”

All federal government employees will have to share what they’ve been working on in the last week or face dismissal, Elon Musk said Saturday.

Musk posted on X that employees will be receiving an email “shortly” requesting to “understand what they got done last week.” A lack of response, Musk said, “will be taken as a resignation.” It’s unclear what legal authority, if any, Musk is relying on.

      Tell her to report it as phishing through her security department. Those are the type of emails you’re trained to report.

      So if your entire job description is classified, which is pretty common, you’re fucked.

      This will be even worse than when he used the same strategy on Twitter.

            Are you saying it’s not useful to be able to talk about your job in vague terms or that this whole order by Musk is bullshit? I can’t really tell what you mean here.
