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<\/a>, 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<\/a>. “Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”<\/p>\n WHITE HOUSE OUTLINES WHERE DOGE SAVINGS COULD GO AFTER TRUMP FLOATS RETURNING 20% TO AMERICANS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/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><\/a> 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 “The US government currently has ~4.6M active credit cards\/accounts, which processed ~90M unique transactions for\u00a0 ~$40B of spend[ing] in FY24,” DOGE said in a post on X Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n $1,300 COFFEE CUPS, 8,000% OVERPAY FOR SOAP DISPENSERS SHOW WASTE AS DOGE LOCKS IN ON PENTAGON<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n President Donald Trump<\/u><\/a> 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><\/a>.<\/p>\n Musk responded with an enthusiastic “Will do, Mr. President!” hours after Trump posted.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for additional comment.<\/p>\n Fox News Digital’s Michael Lee and Rachel Wolf contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 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.
