Email sent by Elon to all American officials summarizing the past week’s work, multiple units advise against paying attention.

Elon Musk News Update: Agenda of the day (For Elon Musk fans on Blognone) highlights the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) operating within the framework of the Office of Personnel Management. Every government official will receive an email prompt to report their accomplishments for the past week. Failure to respond within 48 hours may result in consequences.

This approach is not novel since Elon previously implemented it with Twitter employees during acquisitions, leading to legal disputes. However, employing the same strategy with government officials raises questions on Elon’s true authority and DOGE team’s efficiency in managing and analyzing emails promptly.

DOGE’s email directive specifies responding in five bullet points without links or attachments, hinting at Elon utilizing AI for email evaluations. Certain government agencies advise their employees to be cautious of such emails, like the Department of Homeland Security posting about their own employee assessment methods.

TLDR: Federal employees will be required to report their weekly accomplishments via email following President Trump’s orders, with potential consequences for non-compliance. Defense Department and Department of Defense release statements regarding email directives from the Office of Personnel Management.
