"Tell me what your job is for or you'll be fired": Elon Musk goes wild, heads explode

"Tell me what your job is for or you'll be fired": Elon Musk puts pressure on federal employees with a new post on X. He sent them an email, then asked them to respond to avoid being fired. A modus operandi that has also made some members of the Trump administration turn up their noses. In recent days, the tycoon had already asked federal employees to summarize their weekly work. In that case, however, the White House had said to ignore the email. Now the CEO of X and Tesla is back on the attack: "Following the president's decision, you have been given a new opportunity, failure to respond this second time will lead to dismissal," wrote the billionaire, head of the Department of Efficiency (DOGE) that the American president entrusted to him.

This time, however, the Trump administration has intervened to calm things down. "This afternoon, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) informed the agencies that the response is voluntary and failure to respond to the email does not constitute resignation," reads a message released by the office that reports to the White House. According to Nbcnews, furthermore, the responses that federal employees will send to Musk will be read by an artificial intelligence system, which will determine whether the tasks described by each employee are necessary or not. The idea of ​​​​entrusting the reading of the responses to an AI system would also explain why in the email sent by Musk it was specified to respond with a text free of "classified information, links and attachments".
