Elon Musk has warned that federal employees who do not return to in-office work by this week will face administrative leave, echoing President Trump's executive order requiring in-person work. This order, aimed at reducing costs, allows exceptions for certain conditions. Musk's approach includes a request for updates on employee productivity, raising concerns over accountability.
