Elon Musk warned the US government agents that they have to disclose what they worked on last week or have to face the sack.

The billionaire recorded on Saturday that “in accordance with the President @Raldonaldtrump“All instructions, all federal employees will soon receive an e -mail in which he is asked to understand what they did last week.”

The DE-FACTO chairman of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency added that “the failure of the reaction is accepted as a resignation”.

A memo that was sent from the HR department of the US government shortly afterwards, which was summarized by several people for the Financial Times, orders the government’s employees to react to what they have achieved on Monday until midnight .

It also warns the employees not to send a classified material in their answers.

The move that reflects the tactics used by Muschus during his takeover of Twitter came shortly after a contribution by Donald Trump, in which he said that the billionaire had “done a great job, but I would like to see that he would become more aggressive. “

Musks Doge has already devastated important government departments, crushed hundreds of contracts and suspended tens of thousands of employees.

The Trump administration had a counter -reaction for the dismissal of veterans and cyber security staff and had to blame employees at the agency to secure America’s nuclear weapons.

Doge also offered federal employees the opportunity to step down if they did not want to return to office full -time, with the White House predicted that up to 200,000 would be accepted. The scheme that was closed at the beginning of this month ultimately attracted 77,000 resignations.

Donald Trump fired General on Friday CQ Brown as chairman of the joint chiefs together with five other top -pentagon officers. The Ministry of Defense also plans to shorten 5,400 trial workers from next week.

The E -Mail demand on Saturday, which came from the government office of personnel management, did not repeat the online threat through the online announcement of Musk because it was not complied with.

But Everett Kelley, President of the American Federation of Government, said that his organization would “question all illegal dismissals of..

“Elon Musk and the Trump government also showed their complete contempt for federal employees and the critical services to the American people,” he said.

“It is cruel and disrespectful compared to hundreds of thousands of veterans who carry their second uniform in the public service to justify their jobs for this extraordinary, privileged, not elected billionaire who has never carried out a single hour of honest public service in his life . “

A spokesman for the staff for personnel management did not answer a request for comments.
