Elon Musk has influenced federal communications with an email mandating detailed weekly reports from employees, threatening resignation for noncompliance. This directive reflects pressure from President Trump to accelerate aggressive reforms. Musk's orders mirror previous communications at Twitter and have affected multiple government agencies. Critics argue this is part of a strategy to undermine federal worker morale and destabilize government functions further, raising concerns over democratic integrity as significant layoffs occur within the federal workforce.
In an email to staff Saturday afternoon, the Office of Personnel Management, which is stacked with Musk loyalists, told employees to send five bullet points detailing what they accomplished last week and cc their manager. "Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation," Musk wrote on X.
"They're proving that their only goal is not efficiency but to dismantle democracy by traumatizing federal workers," says a current federal employee who asked to remain anonymous.
