Elon Musk's email ultimatum sparks confusion among govt. workers

Several government agencies advised federal workers to disregard an email from Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) over the weekend requesting explanations of their work over the past week. Musk posted on X that "failure to respond will be taken as a resignation."

The confusion stems from mixed responses within Washington, with allies of President Trump urging workers to ignore the message. This pushback comes as Musk targets longer-term government workers amid a larger cost-cutting campaign.

Watch the video above to hear Yahoo Finance Washington correspondent Ben Werschkul provide insights on the implications for DOGE's strategy and House Republicans' proposed $4.5 trillion tax cut plans lawmakers are set to vote on this week.
