Musk issues a Direct order to Federal Employee’s…..They are told to NOT follow it…

Musk….

All federal government employees will have to share what they’ve been working on in the last week or face dismissal, Elon Musk said Saturday.

Musk posted on X that employees will be receiving an email “shortly” requesting to “understand what they got done last week.” A lack of response, Musk said, “will be taken as a resignation.”The email — sent with the subject line

“What did you do last week?” just two hours after Musk’s post, and shared with POLITICO — asks employees to please reply with “approx. 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and CC your manager.”….

Response…

Multiple agencies and unions have reportedly told federal workers not to respond to a new email demanding that they account for their work over the last week — despite Elon Musk’s threat they’ll lose their jobs if they don’t.

Why it matters: As much as Musk’s DOGE effort has disrupted the federal government so far, there’s been relatively little tangible internal pushback — until now.

• The high-stakes stand-off could reshape the federal workforce over the next couple of days and will test the depth of President Trump’s support for Musk’s slash-and-burn campaign.

Catch up quick: Musk posted to X on Saturday afternoon that all federal employees would get an email asking them to explain what they’d accomplished this week.

• Failure to respond, he said, would be tantamount to resignation. It followed a Trump post to Truth Social early Saturday calling on Musk to get more aggressive with his DOGE project.
• The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) sent the email Saturday afternoon, telling people they had until 11:59 p.m. ET on Monday to respond. (The email did not include Musk’s or-else threat.)

Zoom out: Two of the largest unions representing federal workers, the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), told their members not to respond, either just yet or at all.

• “AFGE will challenge any unlawful terminations of our members and federal employees across the country,” union president Everett Kelley said in a statement Saturday night.

Zoom in: Beyond the unions, a number of federal departments and agencies also appear to have told employees not to respond…..
