Summary

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) warned employees that responding to an Office of Personnel Management (OPM) email—prompted by Elon Musk’s demand for federal workers to report weekly accomplishments to him—could expose information to “malign foreign actors.”

HHS clarified that there is no expectation for employees to respond and no impact on their employment if they don’t.

Those who choose to respond were advised to keep details general.

Reports indicate responses may be analyzed by AI to assess job necessity, raising security concerns.
