SUMMARY: Elon Musk, head of the new Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), faces backlash for demanding federal employees submit a list of five weekly accomplishments within 48 hours, threatening resignation for non-compliance. While the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) confirmed the request, it did not mention potential terminations, stating individual agencies would determine follow-up actions. Confusion arises as FBI Director Cash Patel advises personnel to pause their responses, opting for internal interviews instead. Critics argue Musk’s heavy-handed approach lacks compassion and complexity, emphasizing the intricacies of government operations, with unions promising to challenge any unlawful dismissals.

Elon Musk is asking federal employees to explain what they did last week as his Department of Government Efficiency looks to make cuts.
