Elon Musk said that federal employees would be given a second chance to respond to government-wide emails, which they did last week, and threatened to set any employee on fire that does not meet his demands.
But the federal agency sending that email said on Monday that it depends on the leadership of the agency – not musk – what happens to those who ignore the message.
Duality instructions “What did you do last week?” Email before midnight time limit to answer. Musk, billionaire and special government employee, who is known to cut the cost of cost of chief President Donald Trump, doubled on Monday.
Musk said in a post to X late Monday night, “Under the President’s discretion, he will be given another chance.” “The second time the failure to answer will result in termination.”
Personnel Management Office, however, quickly clarified that many federal employees would be exempted, including any employee on leave on Monday, without access to email, or employees are exempted by their agency chief . The defense, state and motherland security departments have given all exemptions, as are the Director of the Bureau of Investigation.
Another person exempted the OPM Memo: Musk himself. OPM Director Charles Ejell said in a memorandum for federal agencies, “Under the direction of the lawyer, the President’s Executive Office has been exempted from this exercise, to work with the Records Act.” Musk is a senior advisor to the President at the White House.
The growing threats of the musk occur as Trump has urged him to be even more aggressive in reducing a federal citizen task force, which according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of 2.4 million in January.
The OPM on Saturday sent an email to the employees, asking them to respond with five bullet points listing their achievements since last week.
The Pushback -Pushbacks from inside and outside the Trump administration also demonstrates the growing power struggle between the Dogi, its upstart effort within the government that has demanded to cut the cost and cut federal parole quickly, and the loyalists of Trump To run federal agencies.
Musk’s efforts have attracted protests of components in employee unions, Democrats in Congress and even Republican-Hukhi districts. But the productivity report mandate marked the first important negative response from within the rank of Trump colleagues running the government.
Trump defended Musk’s efforts before Monday, casting it as a valid bid to prevent fraud and waste in the government.
Trump said in a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday, “I felt it was very good, because we have people who do not show to work, and no one knows that they government Work for. ” “There was a lot of talent in sending it.”
