Elon Musk has issued federal employees another ultimatum following the backlash to the email asking staff to provide a progress report or resign.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Saturday (February 22),\u00a0Musk<\/a>\u00a0sent federal staff for the\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0government an email that indicated those who’d failed to respond to the email wouldn’t have a job to return to.<\/p>\n

The unusual email<\/a>\u00a0demanded federal staffers outline five tasks they’d completed in the last week with a deadline of 11.59pm on Monday – or resign.<\/p>\n

Later on, the billionaire tech mogul\u00a0said the real reason why he sent the demanding email<\/a>\u00a0was to see ‘who had a pulse and two working neurons’ – and to see who in the workforce actually checked their emails.<\/p>\n

“This was basically a check to see if the employee had a pulse and was capable of replying to an email,” he continued. “Lot of people in for a rude awakening and strong dose of reality. They don’t get it yet, but they will.”<\/p>\n

However, the response wasn’t 100 per cent positive, with a senior Defense Department official\u00a0telling<\/a>\u00a0CNN that it was the ‘silliest’ thing they’d ever seen in their career.<\/p>\n

Even\u00a0FBI has urged employees<\/a>\u00a0to not respond to the emails.<\/p>\n

Now, Musk has made a fresh ultimatum to those who have apparently disobeyed the email.<\/p>\n

Taking to his\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0platform, the 53-year-old slammed the ‘incompetence’ of the workers who ignored his request.<\/p>\n

\n

The email request was utterly trivial, as the standard for passing the test was to type some words and press send!<\/p>\n

Yet so many failed even that inane test, urged on in some cases by their managers.<\/p>\n

Have you ever witnessed such INCOMPETENCE and CONTEMPT for how YOUR TAXES are\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/QjSmY4ezpg<\/a><\/p>\n
