The email says the deadline for the responses is Monday at midnight, according to CBS.

“Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation,” Musk said.

“We want to make government smaller, more efficient,” Trump said. “We want to keep the best people, and we’re not going to keep the worst people. And you know, we’re doing another thing, if they don’t report for work, we’re firing them. In other words, you have to go to the office.”
