Trump and Musk's latest threat to federal employees was just tweeted by Musk. All it lacks is a whip cracking. [View all]





Elon Musk
@elonmusk

Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week.

Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.
