WASHINGTON —

In a social media Monday, White House adviser Elon Musk threatened to fire federal workers if they did not prove their worth through email. The post made on X, formerly known as Twitter, claimed to grant workers another chance to respond. Failure to do so, the post said, would lead to termination.

The post caused only more confusion over the situation after Musk emailed thousands of federal employees over the weekend, demanding a list of what they accomplished last week or risk getting fired.

But on Monday, the Office of Personnel Management told agency leaders and workers that they were not required to respond by the required midnight deadline.

Still, President Donald Trump stood alongside Musk, claiming, without evidence, that hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud were found through federal paychecks going to non-existent employees or low-productivity workers.

"There was a lot of genius in sending it," Trump said in remarks Monday. "We're trying to find out if people are working."

Unions filing lawsuits say the threat of mass firings violates the law.
