A rift emerged on Sunday evening between Trump’s agency heads and Musk after leaders at the FBI, Pentagon, State Department, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Energy instructed staff not to reply to the OPM’s email.
On Sunday afternoon, Musk also referred to the emails as a “very basic pulse check.” That evening, Musk added that a response was indicative that employees have “two working neurons.”.
"As part of the Trump Administration's commitment to an efficient and accountable federal workforce, OPM is asking employees to provide a brief summary of what they did last week by the end of Monday, CC'ing their manager,” the spokesperson said.
Workers reportedly received the email Saturday afternoon from the Office of Personnel Management with the subject line “What did you do last week?” The deadline given to respond, according to emails reviewed by Reuters, was 11:59 p.m. EST on Monday.
Elon Musk said that blanket emails sent to federal employees asking for a response about their weekly accomplishments or risk termination was a test to see if they “had a pulse.”.
