Bedlam! Musk triggers new showdown with federal agencies with ominous new worker ultimatum

Elon Musk released an ultimatum on Monday night, giving federal workers another chance to respond to their threatened email, as several agency heads asked their employees to ignore them.

With a few hours to go before midnight time limit First The ultimatum, the mercurial billionaire, renewed his demand for government employees that he told him five things completed last week – or removed.

The latest warning came shortly after the Personnel Office (OPM) of the Trump Administration Office – Effectively the Central Human Resource Department of the Federal Government – told the agencies that it was “voluntary” to respond to the editing of Musk.

By then many agencies had already asked employees to ignore the demand. The Department of Health and Human Services warned that whoever wanted to give an answer, “should assume that what you write will be read and read by foreign actors and accordingly your response is tailor.”

Musk clearly left a way to withdraw himself from his latest ultimatum, saying that it was “subject to the President’s discretion,” creates even more chaos and confusion for the workers.

But Donald Trump was not willing to block the ultimatum. He told reporters during a meeting at the Oval office with French President Emmanuel Macron that Musk’s initial ultimatum was “talented”, and warned that the employees who did not reply, they “semi-fire” or “removed” Will be It was not clear what he meant by “semi-based”.

The new ultimatum accelerated the developing performance between Musk and other officials in the Trump administration elected by the President, such as FBI director Kash Patel, who asked the agents to ignore the technical billionaire.

CIA, State Department, Pentagon, Homeland Security Department, as well as other major agencies including HHS, also tell their workers to ignore Musk’s initial warning.

Nevertheless, Musk stressed on Monday night that “the failure to respond for the second time would result in the end of federal employees”.

A long time the federal worker told CNN: “Our chief said that it was mandatory. Then the OPM said that it has become voluntary. Then I think Trump told us that it was mandatory again. No one was mandatory again. Know who is in charge and who to listen. “

Another employee said: “This is Baddalam.”

Connecting confusion, on some posts of Musk on X (East Twitter) in the last 48 hours, it was suggested that the first warning email was only one stal or test, described as “a very basic pulse check” Was done.

“The email request was completely trivial, as the standard to pass the test was to type and send some words!” Dogi Boss said on Monday afternoon. “Still failed so much that disqualified tests, their managers urged some cases.”

He asked his followers: “Have you ever seen such inability and contempt that how your taxes are being spent?”

Disregarding the agencies was the first major signal of the major discord between Kasturi and Trump’s internal circle, and the first major challenge on the federal government for its reign of terror.

Trump has said that the advice of the agency heads who advised their employees not to follow Musk’s order, “was done in a friendly manner. He does not mean that in any way the combative combat with Elon,” He allegedly said.
