Elon Musk issued an ultimatum to federal workers, instructing them to report their work accomplishments via email or face firing. The email, sent to workers in various federal agencies, demanded a response with five bullet points of accomplishments from the previous week by a certain deadline. Despite Musk’s threat of resignation for failure to respond, the email did not mention termination specifically. The American Federation of Government Employees criticized Musk’s actions as disrespectful and promised legal challenges to any unlawful terminations. The ultimatum comes amid chaos surrounding federal firings following an executive order signed by President Trump, which directed the federal government to implement a workforce optimization initiative led by Musk. Thousands of federal employees have already taken buyouts, and layoffs are expected to affect up to 100,000 workers. Musk’s actions have sparked backlash and legal challenges as federal workers push back against the threatened terminations.
