Elon Musk Enforces Sweeping Job Reviews in Federal Agencies

Under President Trump's directive, Musk's Department of Government Efficiency pushes mass layoffs and demands weekly performance reports from federal employees.

  • Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has mandated federal employees to submit weekly reports on their accomplishments or face potential termination.
  • Federal workers were sent emails requiring them to outline five key achievements from the past week, with a deadline set for Monday night.
  • President Trump has praised Musk's efforts to streamline federal agencies, urging him to adopt an even more aggressive approach to cutting costs and eliminating inefficiencies.
  • The initiative has sparked backlash, with federal unions announcing potential legal challenges against what they call a disregard for workers' rights and essential public services.
  • The DOGE initiative has already led to mass layoffs, particularly targeting employees in probationary periods, as part of a broader strategy to reduce government spending.
