Agencies seek guidance on latest Musk OPM email, with some urging employees to hold off responding

Multiple federal agencies appeared to be caught off guard by the email.

Multiple federal agencies appeared to be caught off guard by the Elon Musk-directed email from the Office of Personnel Management on Saturday that demanded employees detail their weekly accomplishments.

Management across multiple agencies have begun informing their staff that they are waiting on further guidance and, in some cases, telling them to hold off replying, according to multiple sources.

Those agencies include the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Internal Revenue Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Department of Energy.

The Pentagon has also instructed civilian employees to wait for legal guidance before responding.
