Musk claimed that mass emails last week were mostly a ruse to see if government employees at DOGE-targeted agencies ‘had a pulse’
Elon Musk has revived a threat to federal workers, warning they face termination if they do not respond to a mass email detailing their accomplishments from the past week. This follows a similar threat last week, which agencies advised employees to disregard. Musk claimed the email was a test to determine if workers were "capable of responding" and "had a pulse." The revived threat comes as President Emmanuel Macron visited the White House, where Trump and Macron discussed efforts to end Russia's war in Ukraine.
