His post on X said employees will receive an email “shortly” requesting to “understand what they got done last week.”
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.” It’s unclear what legal authority, if any, Musk is relying on.

Musk : Explain your work.
Employee : You gave me this work.
Musk : Fired.
So his approach to reducing bureaucracy is having everyone document and explain what they do?
Fascist are oddly obsessed with paperwork. Reducing bureaucracy by increasing bureaucracy is part of the contradictions that fascism rely on.
My wife just got one of those emails and it’s hilarious
This email has been received from outside of DOl - Use caution before clicking on links, opening attachments, or responding.
[EXTERNAL] What did you do last week?
Please reply to this email with approx 5 bullets of what you accomplished last week and cc your manager
Please do not send any classified information, links, or attachments
Deadline is this Monday at11:59pmEST.
So if your entire job description is classified, which is pretty common, you’re fucked.
This will be even worse than when he used the same strategy on Twitter.
There are unclassified ways to talk about classified information.
Tell her to report it as phishing through her security department. Those are the type of emails you’re trained to report.
What happens if you don’t respond?
— Copy of my other comment from this thread
Word on the street is that if you don’t reply you’ll get fired.
My wife just got one and sent me this right after
Posted with her approval ofc
I sincerely hope this man goes to prison
In my opinion that’s actually only one of two possible outcomes, knowing the personalities and philosophies of those in power.
He either becomes de-facto leader of the US or he pisses off Trump and other Money and goes to jail. The minute Elon loses support from the right he crashes and burns spectacularly. Pisses off Trump too much and its game over for him.
I assure you that even if this government falls there will somehow be no evidence that he did anything, let alone anything illegal. There will be no paperwork with his name or signature. Regardless of the pile of human garbage that is this administration, the US is completely unable to hold billionaires accountable for literally anything.
He’s not going to even understand most of the responses he gets, so this is an exercise in futility. In some cases it would be like having a village idiot judge the Nobel prize candidates.
He and his goons don’t even understand how SQL works.
I’d send them the longest fucking email back detailing everything in painful detail of what I did last week. 99% being straight up fluff.
Have an LLM write an incredibly long email using filler and buzzwords to explain a few simple things
lol
It makes sense we’d move through “Office Space” territory on our way to “Idiocracy.”
And then we’re quickly onto Children of Men, and then The Road.
It turns out, he can say “not responding to this email is a formal resignation” until he’s blue in the face, that doesn’t make it so. Ignoring the part where it’s not legal. He WILL be paying unemployment to all of them, and likely wrongful termination. Of course by “he” I mean “all of us” because it will be our tax dollars.
He doesn’t know what his employees do? Why is he in a position of power if he doesn’t know anything about federal employees work. Musk proves himself to be more and more incompetent each and every day
If you’re afraid of their hollow scare tactics, just send a reply that says, “Communication received. Continuing work according to my job role as typical”.
Remember that they can’t legally justify these firings and likely won’t pay you severance. This is a weak intimidation tactic, this is when the other guy in the online game starts by telling you to forfeit before the gave has started. Make them fire you so you can collect unemployment and have standing to sue (if the world doesn’t collapse before next administration).
This is partially their insurance policy - same playbook as always, just accelerated. Like how trump 1 admin planned for tax cuts for wealthy to be paid by the poor when next person would be in office. Now they are just breaking everything and setting up grounds for historically unprecedented class action lawsuits for potential next person. If a decent person somehow did reclaim the presidency in '28, they’d be forced to acknowledge and allow the illegal firing, pay trillions in back pay and penalty restitution.
A reasonable judge would hold these billionaires liable to their last

Over under on 1000+ people being fired for being on vacation and not replying within the deadline?
This must be one of the most knob pics of this guy I have seen to date.
Perhaps Tesla, SpaceX, X, and all of his other companies should send him the same email. No way he is getting anything done as their CEO while he is ripping and tearing through the federal government.
