Government employees who accept the president’s offer to resign and get paid through the end of September are not expected to keep working, a senior White House official confirmed to Axios Wednesday morning.

Why it matters: Federal workers have been confused since the offer went out Tuesday afternoon.

• While the offer has been characterized as a “buyout,” workers told Axios — and posted in message boards — that the documents they’ve received are unclear as to whether they’d be asked to work after tendering their resignation.

Zoom in: The White House official’s comments echo those from DOGE, or the Department of Government Efficiency, on X.com.

• And from Elon Musk on Wednesday morning, who posted on X: “Those deciding to take the deferred resignation deal can do anything they want for the next 8 months are not required to work at all whatsoever.”

This is a developing story.
