Musk’s directive to federal employees to justify their jobs falls flat as the Office of Personnel Management says it's safe to disregard his message.

Elon Musk caused alarm among federal employees and drew ire over an email sent on Saturday requesting that employees summarize their work for the week, and warning on social media that a failure to do so would be taken as a resignation.

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.
