Washington, D.C., February 25, 2025: Elon Musk, leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has warned federal employees to justify their job roles or face termination. He mandated weekly work reports despite the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) stating compliance is voluntary. President Donald Trump has backed Musk’s push for increased accountability in the federal workforce.
The directive has led to resistance, with federal agencies advising employees against responding due to legal concerns. Labor unions have filed lawsuits, arguing that Musk’s mandate exceeds his authority and violates workers’ rights. Despite opposition, Musk remains firm, planning further enforcement as legal battles unfold.
