Summary at a Glance

Senator Tina Smith labeled Elon Musk a “d***” after the Department of Government Efficiency leader announced he’s requiring every federal employee to defend their roles in a five-bullet-point email or lose their jobs.

Musk announced Saturday night that every federal employee will receive an email asking what they accomplished this week — and that those who fail to respond will be considered as having resigned.

Musk famously asked the same question of former Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal (whom he later fired) while scheming to buy the social media site in 2022.

“I’d like the company to get to a place where we are more resilient and don’t get distracted, but we aren’t there right now,” Agrawal told Musk.

Some agencies are already fighting Musk’s order, telling their employees to not respond.
