Tesla billionaire Elon Musk has ordered all US federal government employees to explain their work from the past week or resign, according to a message he posted on his social media platform X on Saturday. The move comes in line with instructions from President Donald Trump to trim down the federal bureaucracy as part of the Department of Government Efficiency. Workers at various government agencies have started receiving an email asking them to detail their accomplishments from the past seven days. Failure to respond is considered a resignation. This move has sparked strong reactions, with the American Federation of Government Employees saying it will fight any unlawful terminations. The federal government has some 2.3 million workers, and the downsizing effort involves multiple departments, including the US Department of Defense and the Internal Revenue Service.
