The e -mail and the employee’s income box of the theme line landed: “the fork on the road”. The message in the email is obvious: accepting a comprehensive set of workplace changes or resignation.
This is pointing out that millions of federal employees accepted around 5 pm on Tuesday. It responded to a similar information, that is, in the second half of 2022, after he bought the company, Twitter’s thousands of workers were obtained from Elon Musk.
Mr. Musk brought his takeover strategy from Twitter to the federal government, where he became President Trump’s close consultant and was running a plan to reduce costs, called the government efficiency department. The government is already eliminating the diversity plan, testing engineering strength and loyalty to request federal employees.
The Tuesday Email sent by the Personnel Management Office is the latest example of the billionaire fingerprints. Until the theme line-the same as his acquisition of Twitter employees in 2022.
Former Twitter director Rumman Chowdhury said: “This is a feeling of a knife.” The uncertainty is crazy. “
The government cutting cost plan of Mr. Musk and the spokesman did not immediately respond to the request of the comment.
Mr. Musk had previously stated that he was expected to reduce $ 2 trillion from the federal budget. According to an article published by Mr. Musk’s political action committee, the US PAC published on X said that 5 % to 10 % of federal workers are expected to accept export packages provided by Tuesday, “it may lead to about $ 100 billion in savings.”
Mr. Musk also led Tesla and Space X. He invited a group of loyalists to evaluate the agency and layoffs, which is the same as what he did during the Twitter’s takeover.
Mr. Steve Davis, the head of Boring Company, helped the Twitter’s cutting costs, and now leads Doge. SpaceX’s long -term human resources director Brian Bjelde also provided help during Twitter’s takeover, and is now a consultant to the Personnel Management Office.
Michael Grimes, a top banker of Morgan Stanley, helps lead Mr. Musk’s Twitter acquisition of Mr. Musk, and is expected to work in the Ministry of Commerce.
Mr. Thomas SHEDD, one of Mr. Musk’s software engineer in Mr. Tesla, was appointed as the head of the “Technical Transformation Services” of the GM’s “Technical Transformation Services”, which helps manage the federal institution. Mr. SHEDD quickly adopted musk strategy: requiring to provide engineers’ technical ribs.
According to an email sent to more than 700 employees on Tuesday night, Mr. Shedd asked the engineer to register a meeting, and they could share “the recent personal technical victory.”
Mr. SHEDD said in an email: “These conferences are a chance to understand the types of professional knowledge we have in a deeper understanding.
On the second day of acquisition of Twitter, Mr. Musk asked the engineer to print out and share the code written for the various products of the company.
Mr. Musk also quickly strived to withdraw the diversity initiative of social media companies. This move was responded by Mr. Trump’s first week of execution of the office, thereby eliminating the diversity and tolerance of the federal government.
According to the federal workers ’emails watched by the New York Times, “these plans divide Americans into races, waste taxpayers’ money, and lead to shameful discrimination.”
After buying Twitter, Mr. Musk attacked the trial of previous management to promote diversity and shared a video. He laughed at the shirt made for the company’s black employee group. Under his leadership, the company cuts the funds of the employee Resources Group and celebrates the murals of the black life problem in the San Francisco office.
One of the preferred strategies of Mr. Musk’s preferred strategy on Twitter is to reduce the company’s real estate footprint. He stopped paying rent for various office space around the world, which led to the deportation of multiple facilities including Seattle and Burd in Coloradue.
The general service administration also cuts costs for real estate. Former technology director and Trump appointed Stephen Ehikian in an e -mail on Tuesday that the Times (Times) watched the agency’s two property on sale, and the three leases have been terminated Essence The email said that the move will save about $ 11 million, which is the “first step” for reducing real estate expenses.
Although Mr. Musk finally changed Twitter, reduced employees by 80 % and reduced real estate footprints to the greatest extent, its business declined. Advertisers escaped the website with a little guy, at least one investor Fidelity estimated that the company’s value was 72 % lower than the $ 44 billion he paid for this.
Mr. Musk wrote in the email of the X employee earlier this month: “Our users have stagnated, and their income is insufficient. We have almost no damage.” “We need faster, more innovative and ruthless concentration. “
Mr. Musk replaced one of his posts on X on Tuesday night in 2024. It seemed to mention the “fork on the road” email to federal employees, asking them to “reliable, loyal, trustworthy” and “effort” and “effort” Essence
Some government staff are seeking a former Twitter employee for guidance.
Several online posts from several federal employees from Dr. Chowdhury provided advice on how to cope with musk taking over. Others contacted the lawyer Shanon Liss-Riordan, who represented the former Twitter workers sued Mr. Musk.
Ms. Liss Ridan said: “Elon clearly believes that he has been weakened from Twitter to weaken the workplace, and he is now trying to launch the same script with the federal government.”
