Elon Musk announced that all federal employees would receive an email requesting a report of their work activities. He indicated that failure to respond would imply resignation and set a tight deadline. However, the Office of Personnel Management later clarified that responses were not mandatory, contradicting Musk's statements. When questioned, President Trump exhibited confusion about the situation, suggesting that the lack of clarity around the requirements could lead to possible terminations, illustrating the government's challenges in tracking employee productivity and presence effectively.
The email was eventually sent, but without the resignation part. On Monday, it was reported that the OPM said responses were not mandatory.
On Tuesday, Trump took questions from reporters in the Oval Office, but he seemed unsure as to whether employees are now required to respond.
Trump mentioned, "What they're doing is they're sending out a letter to everybody and they're saying, What were the things you did last week?"
On Monday, Trump said employees who do not respond will be semi-fired or fired, whatever that means.
