Elon Musk and Trump’s Email Could Cost Federal Employees Their Jobs!

In a bold move to maintain the U.S. federal government, Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump are making waves with a new initiative aimed at streamlining operations. The recent changes have left federal employees with a crucial decision to make on either respond or resign.

Musk’s Role in Government Efficiency

Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO, has officially been appointed as a ‘special government employee,’ taking the lead of a new task force under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Alongside entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, Musk’s team is tasked with dismantling government bureaucracy, cutting wasteful spending, and restructuring federal agencies.

The Email That Could Cost Your Job

As part of this effort, all federal employees are expected to receive an email asking for a detailed list of what they’ve accomplished in the past week. The email specifies that failure to respond by 11:59 PM ET on Monday will be considered a resignation. Musk tweeted, “Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation,” further emphasizing the urgency.

Backlash and Concerns

The announcement has sparked criticism across the board. FBI Director Kash Patel advised employees to hold off on responding, claiming that the FBI would review the process through its own channels. Similarly, federal court officials warned that the emails were not official, urging employees not to take action.

Union Concerns

Everett Kelley, President of the American Federation of Government Employees, called the directive “cruel and disrespectful,” vowing to challenge any unlawful terminations. The dramatic move, which includes a simple email reading, “What did you do last week?” has left many wondering how these changes will impact federal employees in the long run.
