Federal employees told to assume 'malign foreign actors' are reading emails to Musk
Raw StoryAt least one federal agency is warning federal employees to watch what they say in their work emails, according to one email reportedly from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The email warned workers that if they chose to respond to centibillionaire Elon Musk's email from the Office of Personnel Management asking them for five bullet points summarizing their work week, they should assume their words will be seen by America's adversaries. "There is no HHS expectation that HHS employees respond to OPM and there is no impact to your employment with the agency if you choose not to respond," the email read. At the end of the email, the agency cautioned workers: "Assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly.
