The Trump administration snubbed Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency again this week, planning as soon as Tuesday to axe Musk’s program requiring federal government workers to summarize five things they achieved at work the previous week, Reuters reported.
Two sources told the outlet that the Office of Personnel Management, which oversaw the program at Musk’s direction and essentially functions as the federal government’s human-resources agency, plans to announce the end of the “five things” email to HR offices across different agencies later Tuesday.
Musk first launched the controversial “five things” email in late February while spearheading DOGE’s efforts to slash the government workforce. He announced the initiative on his social media website, X, and said failure to reply to the email would be “taken as a resignation.”
