Elon Musk: FBI director also receives job ultimatum, deadline causes confusion

Musk announced on Saturday on his platform X that - in accordance with the instructions of US PresidentDonald Trump (78) - all federal employees would soon receive a corresponding email. "Failure to respond will be considered termination," he threatened.

Apparently two million recipients

Court documents show that an email with the subject "What did you do last week?" was actually sent on Saturday from an address in the US Office of Personnel Management - with instructions to provide bullet points of work and to CC the direct supervisor. The deadline was Monday evening, 11:59 p.m. (local time). "According to information available, this email was sent to over two million federal employees," the documents say.
