Elon Musk’s New Productivity Task: Federal Employees, Report or Resign

Elon Musk, in his latest move to turn government bureaucracy into an efficient machine, has sent out a message to all federal employees.

They must submit weekly productivity reports.

No more skating by.

These reports will be due every Monday.

Failure to respond will be seen as a resignation letter.

It’s all part of the Trump administration’s plan to cut costs save us billions.

And so far it’s working like gangbusters.

So far they’ve saved us $125.5 billion, according to the national debt clock.

Fox News reports:

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that all federal employees are being instructed to report their productivity in a new Trump administration initiative.

In a post Saturday on X, 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.

If the email is ignored, Musk said, the federal government will interpret that as a resignation.

“Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week,” Musk wrote. “Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”

The post came as Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) 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.

“The US government currently has ~4.6M active credit cards/accounts, which processed ~90M unique transactions for ~$40B of spend[ing] in FY24,” DOGE said in a post on X Tuesday.

The memes are coming to life.
