Elon Musk sent an email to federal employees requesting justified accomplishments from the previous week, suggesting that non-response would imply resignation. However, following backlash, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) clarified that replies were voluntary and not sending one wouldn’t be treated as resignation. Officials, such as FBI Director Kash Patel, advised against responding. President Trump initially supported the email's intent, correlating it to workforce accountability amid concerns over employee productivity.
A demand issued by Elon Musk that federal workers respond to an email asking them to justify their jobs or resign has been walked back by the agency which sent the email.
The OPM clarified that responses to the email are voluntary and that non-responses do not equate to resignations.
