Tech billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that all federal employees are being instructed to report their productivity in a new Trump administration initiative.<\/p>\n
In a post Saturday on X, Musk said the report will come in the form of an email that will give federal workers a chance to report how productive they were the previous week.<\/p>\n
If the email is ignored, Musk said, the federal government will interpret that as a resignation.<\/p>\n
‘Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump\u2019s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week,’ Musk wrote. ‘Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.’<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A spokesperson from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) confirmed Musk’s plans in a statement to Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n
‘As part of the Trump Administration’s commitment to an efficient and accountable federal workforce, OPM is asking employees to provide a brief summary of what they did last week by the end of Monday, CC’ing their manager,’ the official said. ‘Agencies will determine any next steps.’<\/p>\n
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung voiced support for the initiative later on Saturday, sharing a screenshot of the email in a post on X.<\/p>\n
‘This is such a good idea and even White House staffers can list all of the great things they\u2019ve done this week, just like everyone in the Administration should do as well,’ Cheung wrote.<\/p>\n
The post came as Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)<\/u> continues slashing suspected waste across the federal government. In an X post Tuesday, DOGE said it discovered 4 million active credit cards on the U.S. government’s books.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
‘The US government currently has ~4.6M active credit cards\/accounts, which processed ~90M unique transactions for ~$40B of spend[ing] in FY24,’ DOGE said in a post on X Tuesday. <\/p>\n
President Donald Trump<\/u> has been supportive of Musk’s work with DOGE. On Saturday, Trump wrote on Truth Social that though Musk is ‘doing a great job,’ he should be ‘more aggressive.’<\/p>\n
‘ELON IS DOING A GREAT JOB, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM GET MORE AGGRESSIVE. REMEMBER, WE HAVE A COUNTRY TO SAVE, BUT ULTIMATELY, TO MAKE GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE. MAGA!,’ Trump wrote<\/u>.<\/p>\n
Musk responded with an enthusiastic ‘Will do, Mr. President!’ hours after Trump posted. <\/p>\n
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for additional comment.<\/p>\n
