Confusion continued Monday as Elon Musk’s deadline for federal workers to detail their accomplishments from the previous week continues to be met with mixed messages.

The deadline given to federal employees by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and Elon Musk over the weekend is quickly approaching, but widespread confusion remains as agencies tell workers they may not have to reply.

Officials at the FBI and State Department sent their staff emails telling them not to respond outside their chains of command, in a possible sign of tension between the president's allies and Elon Musk.

Hundreds of thousands of federal workers have until just before Tuesday to explain what they accomplished over the last week.
