Elon Musk has instructed DOGE employees to work 17 hours a day, seven days a week, or work 24 hours straight for five days. Simply put, they must work 120 hours per week to propel DOGE forward and achieve greater success than traditional government agencies that only work less than 40 hours per week.
While some support Musk’s approach, many are alarmed by the sheer magnitude of this intense work schedule, as it may have adverse effects on health due to the lack of rest. Some also argue that such long hours do not guarantee increased success.
Musk is well-known for never stopping work. When he officially took control of Twitter in October 2022, he immediately ordered employees to work 80 hours per week. However, whether this can be achieved remains a question for many in the more tranquil government sector compared to the tech industry.
