Hours left for federal workers to answer Musk email

Federal employees have until the end of today to explain their work from last week, following a sudden directive from the Office of Personnel Management.

CNN – Federal employees have until the end of today to explain their work from last week, following a sudden directive from the Office of Personnel Management. Elon Musk, in an X post, warned that failure to respond would be seen as a resignation.

However, key agencies including Defense, Homeland Security, and State are advising workers not to reply. Unions call the move illegal and are preparing legal action, though experts warn dismissals may happen before courts can intervene. President Trump has asked Musk to be aggressive, but polls show many voters disapprove of the process.

“People don’t like it when a billionaire goes and bullies working people,” said Randy Erwin, National President of the National Federation of Federal Employees.

With the deadline approaching, the fate of many federal workers remains uncertain.
