Elon Musk Says He'll Fire Every Federal Worker Who Ignores His Email
Musk moves to speed up Trump's government purge, demanding federal employees name five things they "accomplished last week" — or else he'll fire them.

Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week," Musk wrote. "Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation."
On Saturday afternoon, federal employees received a new email, a copy of which was obtained by Rolling Stone, sent by "HR" at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which Musk and DOGE took over and made a central hub for their mass purge.

The subject line reads: "What did you do last week?" The message says: "Please reply to this email with approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and cc: your manager. Please do not send any classified information, links, or attachments. Deadline is Monday at 11:59pmEST."
An employee at the U.S. Agency for International Development, which was shuttered by Musk and DOGEand folded into the State Department, tells Rolling Stonethat OPM has no legal authority to make such a request, and further notes the message doesn't even relay Musk's threat of firing.
