Here's your new reason for laughing at Elon Musk [View all]
In February, Elon Musk’s demand that federal workers submit via email their accomplishments that week—or risk getting fired—was met with swift backlash. Some Cabinet members reportedly encouraged workers to ignore it, and now new reporting suggests even the Office of Personnel Management didn’t see the threat as legitimate.
According to The Washington Post, top human resources officers across the government were briefed two days after Musk’s Feb. 22 directive went out. They were told his initiative was “voluntary,” and that skipping the email wouldn’t count as a resignation.
Even for those employees who did respond, OPM—essentially the federal government’s HR department—reportedly had no plans to do anything with their submissions.
In other words, nobody took Musk seriously then. And it looks like even fewer do now. His grip on President Donald Trump’s White House appears to be slipping.
