President Trump and Elon Musk are ramping up their demands on federal employees with a new email requesting their recent accomplishments. The first email asked employees to list five completed tasks, threatening firings for noncompliance. Many agencies advised against responding or gave conflicting guidance. The second email, titled “What did you do last week? Part II,” asked for weekly submissions by Monday at 11:59 p.m. Eastern. National security agencies, which had instructed employees not to respond to the first email due to sensitive work, may face challenges with this request. Trump and Musk claim that some workers are fictional or dead and have supported Musk’s initiative. The government is preparing for large-scale layoffs and consolidation of programs, as shown by firings and an Education Department buyout offer. The email was sent by the department’s chief human capital officer, giving employees until the end of Monday to decide. The OPM did not immediately respond to requests for clarification. The situation highlights the tension between the government workforce and the administration’s push for accountability and efficiency.
