Musk caused alarm among federal employees over an email sent on Saturday requesting that employees summarize their work.

Using yet another haphazard mass email, Musk and DOGE told federal employees to document what they did last week — or else.

Musk initially said the request was a 'very basic pulse check,' but now says it will root out 'non-existent people or...dead people' who are collecting paychecks. Several agencies are telling employees to ignore the email for now.
