Summary

Elon Musk demanded that all federal employees receive an email from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) requiring them to list their work activities, with non-responses implying resignation.

However, the actual email omitted the resignation clause, and OPM clarified that responses were not mandatory.

He framed the initiative as a way to verify government employees’ activities but gave conflicting remarks on the consequences of non-response.
