US Agencies Warn Workers Against Responding to Musk’s Email Demand
Amidst a controversial federal workforce reduction campaign spearheaded by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, multiple U.S. agencies instructed employees to disregard a demand to list their weekly accomplishments or face termination. This directive, issued after Musk’s ultimatum on X, reflects internal tensions within the Trump administration regarding the chaotic and rapid downsizing effort. The campaign, which has already laid off over 20,000 workers and offered buyouts to 75,000 more, has led to the hasty rehiring of some critical personnel. The unprecedented actions have prompted widespread criticism despite bipartisan acknowledgment of the need for government reform.
