(DailyEmailNews.com) – As part of his role as advisor to President Donald Trump and head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Elon Musk has issued a game-changing directive to federal employees.
Specifically, the tech mogul has rocked Washington by demanding government workers be held accountable or face termination.
Musk sent an email to federal employees across the nation, requiring them to submit detailed reports of their weekly achievements by tonight.
“Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation,” Musk stated on X (formerly Twitter).
The directive is part of a broader “workforce optimization initiative” that requires employees to list around five accomplishments and cc their manager by midnight.
This move follows President Trump’s executive order to make the government more efficient and accountable to the American people.
The president has wholeheartedly endorsed Musk’s efforts, emphasizing the need to get rid of inefficient bureaucrats and streamline government operations.
“We’re removing all of the unnecessary, incompetent and corrupt bureaucrats from the federal workforce,” President Trump declared.
The initiative has already shown results, with nearly 75,000 federal employees taking buyouts amid news of potential layoffs.

Sources suggest that the number of federal employees laid off could exceed 100,000, marking a significant reduction in government bloat.
Musk has claimed that many government employees are not working efficiently and suggested there may be fraud in government payrolls.
However, not everyone is pleased with this push for accountability. American Federation of Government Employees President Everett Kelly criticized the move as “cruel and disrespectful” to federal employees.
Kelly complained:
“It is cruel and disrespectful to hundreds of thousands of veterans who are wearing their second uniform in the civil service to be forced to justify their job duties to this out-of-touch, privileged, unelected billionaire who has never performed one single hour of honest public service in his life.”
Despite the outcry from unions and career bureaucrats, Musk sees his moves as a long-overdue measure to hold government workers accountable.
The directive aligns perfectly with President Trump’s promises of fiscal responsibility and limited government in order to deliver a leaner, more efficient federal workforce that truly serves the American people.
As the deadline approaches, Americans eagerly await the results of this bold initiative. It remains to be seen whether inefficient federal workers will finally be held accountable.
Still, one thing is certain: President Trump hopes that with Musk at the helm, the days of unaccountable government spending are numbered.
