Summary
Federal agencies, including FEMA, IRS, NOAA, CDC, DOE, and the Pentagon, were surprised by an OPM email, directed by Elon Musk, demanding employees list weekly accomplishments.
Agencies are advising staff to delay responding, pending further guidance. Some, like the FBI, have instructed a “pause.” NOAA recommended waiting until Monday for potential clarification.
Musk stated non-compliance would be considered resignation. Agencies are now seeking clarity from Treasury and other departments on how to proceed with the unprecedented request.
This is exactly like how Elon asked Twitter employees to print out “last 30 days of your published code for review”. It’s such a laughably insane way of doing things that only someone with a childs understanding of the world would even think to ask for.
Published code should have already been reviewed before it was published!
Who is going to read all these emails? Nobody, just like that supid code in last 30 days thing. It is a scare tactic for people who don’t realize how stupid the request is.
