On Saturday, 22nd February, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) headed by Musk, sent emails to federal employees asking them to report their accomplishments from last week. According to more recent reports,

Federal workers who followed Elon Musk’s directive to justify their jobs in an email now have a new concern: AI could be deciding their fate. The information from employees who responded to an email that asked them to list their accomplishments at work last week will first go through an advanced AI system that will determine whether their positions are necessary,

AI could determine the fate of federal workers under Musk’s job evaluation plan, raising concerns of bias in the technology.

The request for employees to outline their job accomplishments has been met with pushback from departments and agencies.

The letter, signed by more than 100 House Democrats, called into question Elon Musk's authority to issue such a mandate to federal agencies.

The turmoil that enveloped the federal workforce over the last few days is unlikely to cease anytime soon as the U.S. government's human resources agency considers how to fulfill Elon Musk ’s demands.

The Office of Personnel Management told HR officials that employees wouldn’t be let go for not replying to an email asking what they did last week.

President Donald Trump said the approximately 1 million federal workers who did not respond to billionaire Elon Musk’s demand to explain their activities are at risk of losing their jobs.
