DOGE v. Federal Employees

🔴 UPDATE: February 22, 2025

Elon Musk Orders Federal Employees to Justify Their Jobs or Face Termination

In a stunning escalation of Musk’s purge of the federal workforce, all federal employees have been ordered to justify their jobs or face termination. The directive, issued through the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) under Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), requires 2.3 million civil servants to submit a list of their accomplishments from the past week. Failure to respond by the deadline will be treated as a resignation.

🚨 Key Developments:

• Mass Email Ultimatum Sent to Federal Employees – On February 22, 2025, Musk’s DOGE issued an email to every federal employee demanding they submit a report detailing five bullet points of their accomplishments from the past week. Failure to respond will be interpreted as voluntary resignation.

• Security Concerns Over Legitimacy – The email, which closely resembled phishing scams, raised immediate cybersecurity concerns, with many employees uncertain whether it was real or an external threat. Some agencies flagged the email as suspicious and warned employees not to respond.

• FBI Director Orders a Pause – FBI Director Kash Patel advised all Bureau personnel to "pause" before responding, citing legal uncertainties over the directive. Other federal agencies scrambled to determine the legality of the order.

• Federal Unions and Legal Experts Call It Illegal – Unions representing federal workers have declared the demand unlawful, stating that mass firings under such conditions violate due process and civil service protections. Legal experts argue that Musk’s move is an unconstitutional overreach designed to force resignations and gut the government from within.

🔍 Consequences:

• Workforce Panic & Legal Chaos – Federal employees across agencies face uncertainty, unsure whether noncompliance means job loss or if this directive can be legally enforced. Lawsuits are already in preparation.

• OPM Authority Questioned – Musk’s use of OPM to force mass terminations is unprecedented, with constitutional challenges expected in the coming weeks.

• De Facto Government Shutdown Looming? – With millions of employees targeted, a wave of forced resignations could cripple federal operations, affecting national security, public services, and law enforcement.

• Further Purges Expected – Given Musk’s open hostility toward career federal employees, this move is widely seen as the first step in an aggressive dismantling of the federal workforce.
