Federal workers sue over Elon Musk's threat to fire them if they don't explain their accomplishments
Briefly

Elon Musk's recent email to federal employees demanding reports of their accomplishments has prompted a federal lawsuit claiming that it violates employment laws. Unions and groups argue that history shows no requirement exists for such submissions, branding Musk's actions as one of the most significant employment frauds in the U.S. Additionally, Musk has threatened employees failing to return to office work with administrative leave, further intensifying the controversy surrounding federal workforce management under his influence and that of President Trump.
"No OPM rule, regulation, policy, or program has ever, in United States history, purported to require all federal workers to submit reports to OPM."
"Those who do not take this email seriously will soon be furthering their career elsewhere," Musk posted on X, his social media platform.
"Starting this week, those who still fail to return to office will be placed on administrative leave," Musk posted.
The threat of mass firings has been called "one of the most massive employment frauds in the history of this country."
