His post on X said employees will receive an email “shortly” requesting to “understand what they got done last week.”

All federal government employees will have to share what they’ve been working on in the last week or face dismissal, Elon Musk said Saturday.

Musk posted on X that employees will be receiving an email “shortly” requesting to “understand what they got done last week.” A lack of response, Musk said, “will be taken as a resignation.” It’s unclear what legal authority, if any, Musk is relying on.

    Does this count Congressmen and Senators, too? How about Special Government Employees?

      I don’t think that Musk is doing this for whatever he’s being directly paid. He may benefit indirectly in that reshaping the government in some ways might be favorable for his business or financial interests. But he’s not in any kind of need of money. Anything that the government would pay him would be a rounding error on his other sources of wealth. Just no point.

      Yeah.
