Elon Musk Demands Federal Employees Report Weekly Tasks or Face Resignation

Under President Trump's directive, Musk introduces new accountability measures targeting federal workers to reduce government spending.

  • Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency, announced a policy requiring federal employees to justify their weekly tasks via email or risk being considered as having resigned.
  • Employees must submit a report detailing five tasks completed in the past week by Monday at 11:59 PM EST, copying their supervisors in the response.
  • The Office of Personnel Management has yet to comment, while federal employee union AFGE has vowed to challenge any dismissals it deems illegal.
  • President Trump urged Musk to adopt a more aggressive approach in cutting public spending, praising his efforts but calling for increased action.
  • The move follows prior measures under the Trump administration, including incentivized resignations and mass layoffs, which have already affected tens of thousands of federal workers.
