Tesla CEO Elon Musk issued an ultimatum to federal workers, instructing them to report their work accomplishments via email or face termination. The email asked employees to summarize their achievements from the past week in five bullets by Monday at 11:59 pm EST. The message did not mention consequences for failing to respond, raising questions about the legal basis for such firings. The move is part of a Trump administration initiative to optimize the federal workforce, led by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. The American Federation of Government Employees union criticized Musk and the administration for their treatment of federal workers, calling the message cruel and disrespectful. The union promised to challenge any unlawful terminations. The situation adds to the chaos surrounding federal firings following an executive order signed by Trump on Feb. 11. Approximately 75,000 federal employees took buyouts before layoffs were announced, with reports suggesting that layoffs could exceed 100,000 workers. The development highlights tensions between Musk, the Trump administration, and federal workers, with legal challenges expected in response to the threatened terminations.
