President Trump has endorsed Elon Musk's call for federal employees to report their recent accomplishments or face dismissal. This generated considerable confusion among government workers as the Office of Personnel Management declared compliance with Musk's request was voluntary. The conflicting messages have created turmoil, with some employees receiving directives to respond, while others were told it was optional. In response to the situation, Musk expressed frustration over perceived resistance and suggested firings for noncompliance, despite the lack of concrete evidence backing claims of fraud within the federal workforce.
What he's doing is saying, 'Are you actually working?' Trump said in the Oval Office during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.
Musk bristled at resistance, saying federal workers 'hate even the tiniest amount of accountability.' He continued to threaten firings hours after employees were told that they didn't need to comply with his demands.
