On Monday evening, Elon Musk doubled his threat of releasing federal employees, who did not submit a list of around five achievements in the workplace last week.
“Subject to the President's discretion, you will get another chance,” Musk wrote about federal workers in a post on his social media website X.
“The failure to react a second time will lead to a termination,” wrote Musk, who was commissioned by President Donald Trump to spend the federal government and the number of federal workers.
It was renewed hours after the Personnel Administration's Bunding Office contradicted its first such threat and announced that the federal government's personnel officials “call for the employees' answers to the OPM -E email” calling for the list of achievements at work “.
Musk seemed to mock this idea.
“The E -Mail request was absolutely trivial, since the standard for passing the test was to enter some words and press! On Monday in a tweet night.
“Have you ever seen such incompetence and contempt for how your taxes are issued? Old Twitter looks good. That was not possible.”
In a newly changed lawsuit that was submitted at the weekend, Musk's original threat quoted on Saturday that workers who did not respond to an OPM -E -Mail asked the workers for enforcing what they forced last week.
This submission to San Francisco Federal Supreme Court also found widespread confusion and controversy as to whether the employees had to answer an e -mail on Saturday evening by the OPM, in which such lists are requested.
Some large departments, including the Pentagon, had asked their employees to respond to OPM's demand. Others, including the Ministry of Health and Human Services and its centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services subsidiaries, asked their employees to comply with.
The Tesla The CEO called these efforts “Doge”, which stands for the government's efficiency.
The changed lawsuit on Sunday was submitted on Wednesday by a group of unions that represented the federal employee against OPM and the incumbent OPM director Charles Ezell.
The lawsuit asked a judge to end OPM from the termination of “tens of thousands of federal employees because they violate the federal constitutional and legal law.
OPM on February 13th proper federal authorities throughout the government to effectively remove the category of probation worker by ending tens of thousands of federal employees, “stated the lawsuit
The lawsuit was changed after OPM has implemented a “new mandatory reporting program for all federal employees in its e -mail, according to the complaint.

The E -Mail from a new OPM -E email address had the title “What did you do last week?”
“In the body of the e -mail it says: Please respond to this e -mail with about 5 balls of your last week and CC your manager,” says the e -mail. “This Monday is a deadline at 11:59 EST.”
Before Saturday, the federal employees did not have to submit reports on their work to OPM, the lawsuit said.
Musk in a post on Saturday on his social media website X wrote: “In accordance with the instructions of President @Raldonaldtrump have done. “
“The failure of the reaction is taken as a resignation,” added Musk in this tweet.
Musk's threat was sued by Everett Kelley, the President of the American Federation of Government, one of the unions.
“Once again Elon Musk and the Trump government showed their complete contempt for federal employees and the critical services to the American people,” said Kelley in a statement.
“It is cruel and disrespectful compared to hundreds of thousands of veterans who carry their second uniform in the public service to justify their jobs for this extraordinary, privileged, not elected billionaire who has never carried out a single hour of honest public service in his life “, said Kelley.
In the changed lawsuit it says that before Saturday “there was no announcement in the Federal Register or somewhere else in relation to OPM program, rule, guidelines or regulations, according to which all federal employees provide a report on their work to OPM.”
OPM “has not met any procedural requirements … with regard to this new program,” the lawsuit said.
And in the lawsuit it was found that OPM sent the explosions -e mail to federal employees on Saturday, “at least some federal authorities, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, not to respond to this OPM surprise request.”
In addition to the FBI, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Defense, the Foreign Ministry and the National Secret Services, instructed its employees not to react immediately to the EPM email.
According to an e -e -mail, which was received by NBC News on Monday from NBC News, the transport department has asked to answer it.
“Please also ensure that you also exclude classified information, links and attachments,” says the e -mail.
Later on Monday, a judge planned a hearing for the Thursday afternoon for the unions' application for a temporary injunction that blocked the mass degrees.
