Elon Musk Enforces Office Return Policy for Federal Workers

Elon Musk, acting as an adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, has announced that federal workers must return to the office or face administrative leave. Musk, leading efforts to streamline the federal budget, expects many government employees to justify their roles amidst Trump's tumultuous return.

Elon Musk, who serves as an adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, announced on Monday that federal employees will be placed on administrative leave this week if they do not return to the office as required.

The directive comes after a month's warning period following an executive order issued by President Trump urging government workers to resume in-person attendance. Elon Musk, recognized as the world's richest individual, has been overseeing a budget reduction initiative within the U.S. government.

With Trump back in power, federal employees are facing renewed challenges and uncertainties. Monday marks a critical juncture, as many are expected to justify their job responsibilities to Musk, who has been delegated the task of implementing significant cuts to the federal budget.
