Elon Musk recently issued an ultimatum to federal workers, instructing them to report their work accomplishments via email or face termination. The email, sent on a Saturday afternoon, demanded a summary of last week’s accomplishments by Monday, threatening resignation for employees who failed to respond. The move is part of the Trump administration’s push for a more efficient federal workforce, although the legal basis for the firings is unclear. The American Federation of Government Employees expressed outrage at the message, calling it cruel and disrespectful to federal workers. This ultimatum is part of a larger chaos around federal firings following an executive order signed by Donald Trump directing a workforce optimization initiative overseen by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. Approximately 75,000 federal employees took buyouts before news of potential layoffs, which could impact over 100,000 workers. The situation is ongoing, with the AFGE promising to challenge any unlawful terminations of federal employees.
