The e -mail landed on an employee receiving tray with a subject “road folk”. The email message was tough. Accept a series of workplaces or resignation.
It was a memo that millions of federal government employees received at around 5 pm on Tuesday. After the acquisition of the company, in late 2022, thousands of workers on Twitter reflected similar messages from Elon Musk.
Musk brings take -over tactics from Twitter to the federal government, where he has become President Trump's closer advisor, and operates the government's efficiency. The administration has already excluded diversity, testing engineering skills, demanding loyalty of federal government employees, and Musk is embracing to reduce the budget and operation of social media companies. 。
Tuesday e -mail sent by the Human Resources Management Bureau is the latest example of the billionaire fingerprint, the same as the 2022 acquisition offer for Twitter employees.
“It's your squealing knife,” said Rumman Chowdhury, a former Twitter executive who left the company, which is currently known as X, after the acquisition of Musk. “The uncertainty is wild.”
Musk and his government's cost reduction Initiative spokeswoman did not respond immediately to the comment request.
Musk has earlier that it expects to reduce $ 2 trillion from the Federal Budget. Mr. Musk's Political Action Committee, USA PAC, was expected to accept 5 to 10 % of the federal workers on Tuesday.
Musk, led by Tesla and Spacex, is seeking the help of the Roylist team to evaluate and reduce the same thing as what he did during the acquisition of Twitter.
Steve Davis, the head of the boring company, the head of the tunnel startup, supports cost reductions on Twitter and is currently leading DOGE. Brian Bjelde, SpaceX's many years of human resources executive, is an advisor to the Human Resources Management Bureau, supporting while the acquisition of Twitter.
Michael Grimes, the top bunker of MORGAN STANLEY, has led Musk's acquisition of Twitter, but is expected to work advanced by the Ministry of Commerce.
Thomas Shedd, one of TESLA's Musk's software engineer, was nominated as a director of General Services Administration's “Technology Transformation Service” and was useful for managing federal agencies. Shed immediately adopted mask tactics. We are looking for a proof of engineer technical chops.
Shedd was sent to more than 700 employees on Tuesday night, and according to the e -mail viewed by The Times, requested an engineer to sign up to an engineer in a session that could share “recent individual technical victory”. I did.
“These sessions are an opportunity to deepen our kind of expertise in our expertise,” said Shed, saying in his email and his “time on the floor of the factory” in Tesla. I emphasized.
Just one day after the acquisition of Twitter, MUSK demanded that the engineer printed and shared the code written for various products of the company.
Musk has also worked quickly to cancel the diversity of social media companies. This was reflected in the rapid increase in the first week of Trump's inauguration ceremony, eliminating the diversity and comprehensive efforts of the federal government.
“These programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayers dollars, and brought them with shameful discrimination,” according to the e -mail sent to the Federal Workers seen by the Times.
After purchasing Twitter, MUSK accused you of trying to promote the diversity of your previous management, and shared a video that laughed a shirt made for the black employee group of the company. Under his leadership, the company reduced the funds of the employee's resource group, and defeated two former employees, defeating the BLACK LIVES Matter Movement in an office in San Francisco.
One of MUSK's tactics to reduce costs on Twitter was to reduce the company's real estate footprint. He stopped paying rent to various office spaces around the world, leading to eviction from Colo's Seattle and Boulder.
The General Service Bureau targets real estate for reducing costs. Former technical executive and Trump's appointment Stephen EHIKIAN said that it would be sold to workers by the THE TIMES view of THE TIMES for sale during the end of the three leases. According to e -mail, this movement was the “first step” to save about $ 11 million and reduce real estate spending.
Musk ultimately transformed Twitter, reduced staff by 80 %, minimizing real estate footprints, but its business has decreased. The advertiser has escaped the site in large numbers, and at least one investor, Fidelity, estimates that it is less than 72 % less than the $ 44 billion he paid.
“The growth of our users is stagnant, the profit is not impressive, and it is not barely broken,” Musk wrote earlier this month by email X employees. “We need to be faster, more innovative, and concentrate on LENT.”
On Tuesday evening, Musk re -emerged one of the 2024 posts on X and seemed to refer to the “Road Fork” email to the federal employees.
Some government workers are seeking guidance from former Twitter employees.
Several federal employees distributed online posts from Dr. Choudley and provided advice on how to respond to the acquisition of masks. Others contacted Shannnon Liss-Riordan, an employment lawyer who appeals to Musuk on behalf of former Twitter workers.
“Iron is clearly thinking that he has learned how to deciate the workplace from Twitter, and is currently trying to develop the same playbook as the federal government,” said Lis Rio Dang.
Theodore Schleifer, Ana Swanson, and Morreen Farrell have contributed to the report.
