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.

FTR, it's not legal for him to fire anybody in the federal government. He has never been confirmed and doge has never been established by congress.

OPM tells federal agencies that responses to Musk email are voluntary​

The Office of Personnel Management formally notified agencies this afternoon that the “What did you do last week” email sent over the weekend is voluntary and failure to respond will not equate to a resignation, according to an email obtained by CNN.
According to the email sent to Department of Justice’s human resources officials, a meeting was held this afternoon among the Chief Human Capital Officers Council, which usually consists of the top human resources officer from every department.
During the meeting, OPM “informed agencies that employee responses to the OPM email is voluntary. Employees who elect to respond to the email must not include any confidential, sensitive, or classified information. OPM also clarified that a non-response to the email does not equate to a resignation,” the guidance reads.
That guidance runs counter to what Elon Musk said, which was that “failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”

OPM has no authority over almost all of the other agencies. They are nowhere in the chain of command. They’re essentially the HR service provider.

Guess Golfhacker won't be laughing at that. Its amazing what happens when laws are actually taken into consideration.

An HR provider telling them what to do, seems to carry a lot more weight than Musk.

I’m sure they loved wasting so much of their day having to clean up after fElon.

If every federal worker spent just five minutes crafting an email, it would cost the taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. Waste! Inefficiency!

DOGE diving headlong into arenas where they do not understand the rules is so stupid. They are going to cost the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in all the lawsuits over everything they’re doing incorrectly. It’s such a mess.

 

[mnole03]

Musk has no decision making authority. He’s just an advisor.

The way he’s speaking, you might almost think they’re lying about his role in the administration.

One of the large premises of OPSEC in the military is that foreign actors are trying to learned about the day to day of random military members even little things that seem harmless.

So basically, “All part of my plan”?

He’s so much like Trump. Insecure as can be.

Imagine the time it would take to earnestly review 2 million emails. It would be an impossible task. Of course, there was never any intention of doing any such thing. It’s only purpose was bullying and fear mongering.

Because the cruelty is the point.

A big takeaway from our conflicts in the 20th century was how valuable those little pieces of information are in aggregate. I imagine with modern big data systems it’s a thousand times worse.

It's more of an attitude adjustment. Lots and lots of federal employees need an attitude adjustment.

Musk has a concept of a plan.

It's going to be great!

Many people are saying this.

Yeah. They should understand that when a billionaire buys government access, they should be grateful and owe him whatever he asks for.

If they want to keep their jobs, yes. Again, attitude adjustment.

You’re a coward and complicit if you believe this. They called people like you collaborators back in the 1930’s.

I'm loving all the YouTube videos of those workers who lost their jobs. Cry harder, libtards.

FYI, the workers who you think aren't deferential enough to you when you apply for food stamps and medicaid are actually almost certainly state workers.
