Federal agencies in the United States asked their employees not to respond to an email sent by Elon Musk, President of Donald Trump, asking them to tell them what they accomplished in their work during the week that previously sent the message or exposed to dismissal, with a chaotic campaign to reduce the administrative apparatus in the country.
Officials appointed by the Trump administration at the FBI and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent email messages to the employees to order not to respond to any message outside the sequence of their leadership, in a possible reference to the existence of tension between Trump’s allies and Misk, who started a campaign to reduce the number of workers Civilians in the government, which amounts to 2.3 million employees.
“The FBI is responsible for all reviews through the manager’s office.”
Musk leads the so -called government efficiency management, which was separated during the first weeks of the Trump administration more than 20,000 employees.
Federal workers received yesterday evening, Saturday, an email requesting them to list the tasks that they have accomplished during the previous week by 11:59 pm East time, at 05:00 GMT on Tuesday morning.
The message came shortly after a publication of a mask on the X platform in which he said that the lack of response would be a resignation.
The email address was “What did you do last week?”, And it was sent from the human resources at the Personnel Management Office, but it did not include the threat of a mask to separate the work.
According to e -mail sources and messages seen by Reuters, workers in the ministries of Internal Security, Education and Trade, the Insurance Foundation, the National Health Institutes of Health and the Internal Revenue Department received directions not to respond.
“To be clear, this is unusual and unexpected and deserves more verification,” said one of the senior executives in the national environmental information centers, an agency affiliated with the Ministry of Trade.
This official issued instructions to employees to postpone the response at the present time, saying that the agency “will verify the legitimacy and the response protocol tomorrow, Monday, and will provide more instructions.”
