The main American agencies, including the FBI, and Pentagon, have instructed their employees not to comply with the demand of President Elon Musk, which reduced costs that Federal workers explain what they accomplished last week-or risk losing their jobs.
This resistance has increased a widespread feeling of chaos and confusion, while highlighting a struggle for possible power between President Donald Trump’s allies, who affects federal employees throughout the country as a new working week about to start.
The Musk team sent an email to hundreds of thousands of federal employees on Saturday, giving them about 48 hours to report five specific things they accomplished last week. In a separate message from X, Musk said that any employee failed to respond by the deadline – which was appointed to the email as 11:59 pm EST – will lose his job.
Democrats and even some Republicans criticized the unusual Musk, which came a few hours after Trump’s encouragement to social media to “get more aggressive” in reducing the size of the government through the so -called government efficiency, or Doug. On the previous day, Musk celebrated his new position by waving the giant saw while appearing in a conservative conference.
Senator John Cortis, R-r-out, was among the members of Trump with concerns. Utah has 33,000 federal employees.
“If I can say one thing for Eileon Musk, it is like, please put a dose of sympathy in this,” said Cortis. These are real people. This is a real life. These are mortgages. … it is wrong to say that we have to cut and you must be harsh to do so as well. “
Representative Mike Luller, RN.Y, also asked about the legal basis that the Trump administration will receive for rejecting tens of thousands of workers for their refusal to respond to the last request from Musk, although the email did not include the threat that workers lose their jobs.
Workers unions have threatened the lawsuits, while many agencies, including the appointed Trump, encouraged their workers not to cooperate.
The newly confirmed FBI director, Cash Patel, an explicit Trump ally, issued instructions to the office employees to ignore Musk’s request, at least at the present time.

As for the news that affects Canada and around the world, he participated in the urgent news alerts that were delivered directly when it occurs.
“The FBI, through the manager’s office, is responsible for all our reviews, and will conduct reviews according to the procedures of the FBI,” Pateel wrote in an email confirmed by Associated Press. “When more information is needed, we will coordinate the responses. For the moment, please stop any responses.”
Ed Martin, the interim American lawyer for the Colombia County, who was nominated for this position, sent his staff on Sunday to cause more confusion. Martin indicated that he himself responded to the request of achievements last week.
Martin wrote in the email obtained by AP, referring to the Personnel Management Office, “Let me explain: We will comply with the OPM request if it is to respond or decide not to respond.”
“Please do a goodwill effort to respond to your activities and include them (or not, as you prefer), and I will be, as I mentioned, your back on any confusion,” Martin continued. “We can do this.”
The night before, Martin issued the instructions of the employees to comply with the musk order. “Doug and Elon are doing a great work. Historic. Martin wrote at the time.
Officials in the state and defense departments, both of whom were led recently, were directly directly.
Tibor Nagy, Acting Undersecretary of the Ministry of Administration, told the employees in an e -mail that the leadership of the department would respond on behalf of the workers.
“There is no employee obligated to report his activities outside the department’s leadership series,” Naji wrote, according to an email obtained by AP.
The Pentagon Command ordered the employees to “stop” any response to the Musk team as well.
“The Ministry of Defense is responsible for reviewing the performance of its employees and will conduct any review in accordance with its own procedures,” according to Anads, an email from Julis Hurst, Deputy Undersecretary of the Ministry of Defense for employees and preparation. “When and if necessary, the administration will coordinate the responses …”
Trump looks without deterrence.
President Mimi posted on his social media network mocking federal employees. The Sunday Post was distinguished by a cartoon character that writes a list of achievements from the previous week led by “Trump Cry”, “Crying about Elon”, “Make it in the office for one time” and “Read some email messages”.
Thousands of government employees have already been forced to get out of the federal workforce – either by launching it or through a “deferred resignation” offer – during the first month of Trump’s second state, where the White House, the new workers and the job rejects and tell the agency leaders to plan for “discounts The widely in place.
There is no official number available for the total shooting or the demobilization of workers so far, but AP has achieved hundreds of thousands of workers who are affected. Many works outside Washington, and the discounts include thousands in the sections of old warriors affairs, defense, health and humanitarian services, as well as the Tax and National Garden Service, among other things.
On Sunday, Musk called his last request, “Examine a very basic pulse.”
“The reason for this is that a large number of people who are supposed to work for the government are not doing a very little job in order not to check their e -mail at all!” Musk wrote on X. “In some cases, we believe that people who are not present or dead identities are used to collect salaries. In other words, there is an explicit fraud.”
No evidence of this fraud was provided. Separately, Musk and Trump falsely claimed in recent days that tens of millions of dead aged 100 years are receiving social security payments.
Meanwhile, thousands of other employees are preparing to leave the federal workforce this next week, including civilian workers in the Pentagon and contractors at the United States Agency for International Development who have not received messages from models of termination during the weekend.
The American Agency for International Development for Administrative Attacks is escalating for a month on the International Humanitarian Agency, which has been freezing its financing, closed its headquarters in Washington and closing thousands of American aid and development programs worldwide.
The judge, who temporarily banned the freezing of foreign assistance, said that the administration has been withholding aid and at least must be restored to programs all over the world. But another judge wiped the way for the administration to move forward with the withdrawal of thousands of US Agency for International Development.
The workers pointed out that the comprehensive nature of the notification messages to the USA’s contractors for International Development, with the exception of the names or attitudes of those who receive them, may make it difficult for deported workers to obtain unemployment benefits.
The Democrats accused the Republican President of sowing chaos to distract the Americans from his failure to address their economic fears and low inflation.
Senator Chris van Holin, DMD, said: “I got Elon Musk from the saw to the federal government and important services, and there is no Article 4 in the constitution that gives Elon Musk that power,” said Senator Chris Van Holin, DMD.
He said that Musk’s actions are illegal and “we need to close this illegal process.”
