Dems press agencies to ignore Musk: ‘Reckless, cruel, unlawful, and unenforceable’
House Democrats are pressing every major agency head in Washington to reject the recent demand from Elon Musk that federal workers must detail their recent work accomplishments or be fired.
More than 100 Democrats endorsed a Monday letter to the leaders of 24 federal agencies characterizing Musk’s missive — and a subsequent memo from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) reinforcing it — as an illegal move without precedent or binding force.
They’re urging the agency heads not only to dismiss the order, but to state explicitly that no federal workers will be fired for noncompliance.
