Elon Musk, who is heading US President Donald Trump’s overhaul of the government, said all federal employees will receive an email directing them to justify their jobs.

In an X post and email shared Saturday afternoon, Elon Musk told federal employees to list what they had accomplished the prior week or be fired.

Hundreds of thousands of federal workers have little more than 48 hours to explain what they accomplished over the last week

Federal workers began receiving emails Saturday asking them to describe what they did last week — as Elon Musk warned on social media that, if employees fail to respond, it will be taken as a resignation.

His post on X said employees will receive an email “shortly” requesting to “understand what they got done last week.”

In a tweet, Elon Musk said “Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.” An email sent to federal workers gives them until Monday to outline their accomplishments.

The Trump administration sent emails on Saturday evening to U.S. federal government employees telling them to detail their work accomplishments from the previous week by Monday night or risk losing their jobs.
