Trump unsure if Musk plans to fire federal workers who don’t respond to email: ‘I guess you get fired’
President Donald Trump does not seem to know what Elon Musk's plans are for federal employees who do not respond to an email Musk ordered sent to them.
Summary
Elon Musk demanded that all federal employees receive an email from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) requiring them to list their work activities, with non-responses implying resignation.
However, the actual email omitted the resignation clause, and OPM clarified that responses were not mandatory.
When asked about this, Trump appeared uncertain, stating, “It’s somewhat voluntary, but… I guess you get fired.”
He framed the initiative as a way to verify government employees’ activities but gave conflicting remarks on the consequences of non-response.
Fucking wild. "I guess you're fired." Thank God the American voter chose the geriatric over the black lady with all her faculties.
'merica doesn't support DEI - this would TOTALLY have been a DEI hire if she did get in (to them)
How can Musk, a mere consultant to the government, fire anyone?
a) Did Trump get the email b) When's he leaving?
My conspiracy theory is that Trump has to get Putin all set and Project 2025 off and running as quick as he can, so Theil and JD Vance can 25th A him, while also pardoning him also. This whole Musk thing might be totally separate and gumming up the works, forcing Trump to deviate from the original plan. Nobody freestyles and fucks shit up like Trump.
It doesn't matter because trump, Musk, OPM, doge, or all of them combined can't fire federal employees like this.
Remember how loud they screamed about Biden being too old? Every time he acts like this, we need to point out how infirm grandpa is becoming.
Nobody has handed him a clue
“You’re fired”, i feel like I’ve heard trump say that before….? No?
Yeah usually when a boss sends me a really dumb email unjust ignore them.
Im surprised anyone bothered to reply to these at all.
i am the type to completely ignore spam like this going to the whole company from up top. its almost always a waste of my time
didn't they just say he was not in charge. if hes not the head is he even a part of it. does he have any actual authority? isn't it just a spam message.
