Elon Musk sent an email to federal workers on Saturday asking what they had done in the past week. The email was sent from the Office of Personnel Management (DOGE) and gave employees until 11:59 p.m. EST on Monday to respond. It is unclear what legal basis Musk has to terminate federal workers if they fail to respond to his request. The agency is also under a temporary court order not to resume mass firings pending the outcome of legal proceedings. The emails came just hours after President Donald Trump posted on his own social media network, Truth Social, that DOGE should get more aggressive in its attempts to downsize and reshape the 2.3 million-strong federal workforce. The tweets were posted by former X chief executive officer Parag Agrawal, who was sacked in 2022 after the Tech billionaire took over the platform. The exchange was seen as a major fallout between the two, and led to Musk firing AgRAWal from the X site.
