US tells federal agencies they can ignore Musk’s job justification ultimatum
US government employees will not be fired for failing to respond to an email request about their work activities. The Office of Personnel Management clarified that employees are not obligated to reply to the email, despite initial confusion caused by the directive.
The situation arose after Elon Musk, an ally of Donald Trump, reportedly ordered US government workers to justify their jobs by providing a summary of their work. This directive created divisions within the Trump administration, with some agencies instructing employees to comply and others advising them to disregard the request. The incident has raised questions about Musk's influence on the government and potential efforts to reduce the federal workforce.
