Elon Musk to federal workforce: What have you accomplished?
Federal workers previously received an email. The email asked them for a bullet point list of what they accomplished during the previous week. This request drew protests from many federal workers, some of whom received notification from their own agencies to delay their responses. For those who refused, failure to respond by the deadline would result in termination. Elon Musk provided hints of a second similar email. President Donald Trump is aware of the request for past week accomplishments; those who fail to respond to the second email request by the deadline will be fired.
From New York Post:
“The email request was utterly trivial, as the standard for passing the test was to type some words and press send!” Musk wrote on X. “Yet so many failed even that inane test, urged on in some cases by their managers.”
“Subject to the discretion of the President, they will be given another chance,” he wrote in a separate post. “Failure to respond a second time will result in termination.”
The billionaire head of President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency argued that the level of concern sparked by the initial DOGE demand was “absurd” and indicative that “something is deeply wrong” with the federal workforce.
Responses to the first batch of “what you accomplished” emails were due by 11:59 p.m. ET Monday.
Trump, 78, defended the Musk-directed effort hours before OPM’s new guidance circulated.
“I thought it was great because we have people that don’t show up to work and nobody even knows if they work for the government,” the president told reporters in the Oval Office. “What he’s doing is saying ‘Are you actually working?'”

This is all I can say
LOL
You know, his rep said he wasn’t serious but HE never said that.
Sounds like he was making a terrorist ice threat.. Given his background, he’s definitely trained and capable. Seems he should be Investigated, and prosecuted as appropriate..
No. He never intended it to be transmitted out on the air waves.
And yet it got out.
There was no intent is my point. The point of a terroristic threat is you intend to terrify someone.
Not trying to be argumentative, but he said it and it got out was my point. The genie is out of the bottle on this one, but with so many others that are saying the same thing, doubtful anything will come of it except a bit of embarrassment before he gets accepted into the fold and defended.
He was thinking it out loud
Dear Doge,
Today I woke up and hit the showers where I bated for about five minutes and then washed my ass. I then got my shit ready and went on patrol. People threw rocks at me and I shot pin flares at them. We got back and had some lunch and I fucked off for a couple of hours bated and took a nap. I got some chow after that and went back to my chu and played CoD on my XBox till about 2300. I then bated and went to sleep. All in all it was a very productive day. You bitches fuck off and I hope your firings go well, especially all those assholes at the VA.
Yours Truly,
Specialist Antgona Wannabe
Sounds like A’stan… except for the “Ambien Challenge”– drop your recommended dose then see if you can “finish” before you pass out. Losers suffer embarassment of being found zonked with weiner in-hand. (Then there were the dudes who drank all the Listerine… )
Specialist, ummm… you keep ‘batin’ so much you gonna need a gallon of anti chafing cream and you’re probably gonna go blind.
Not to mention all that hair that will grow on the palm of your hand.
Don’t forget Disturbed’s best:
The managers who told their employees to ignore a directive from the agent of the Chief Executive should be fired with prejudice, retirement benefits removed, and audits initiated.
Well that will be the shortest term for an FBI Director evah’!
My notice came from the Secretary of Defense’s office.
My notice to disregard came from the Acting Administrator. But I had about 10 real bullets ready to send. Keeping them as a back-up.
Feel the same way when Fauci was throwing around all of his directives? Did you have that same energy? I’m a Trump supporter, but not a sycophant. There is a chain of command for a reason. I already provide updates to my leaders. I should not be jumping a chain of command for an unsigned email from an OPM unsecure server while a guy is threatening people with being fired on a non-government social media platform. Sounds a lot like, ‘just comply’.
Yep.
The Chain of Command brought in a contractor to audit. To conduct said audit, the contractor must have full access to all information. As part of that audit process employees are required to comply with all directives of the contractor, per the authority invested in said contractor by the CoC. This is how it works in the corporate world, i.e., the rules under which most Americans work.
Only in the government workforce could I imagine people defying this and expect to keep their jobs. Or worse, whining about losing their jobs because of their gross insubordination. I agree that “department heads” who told their employees not to comply should be the first fired as they put their employees in an untenable situation by making them try to figure out which directive to follow.
My order to “defy” came from the head of personnel at DoD. It’s not “Department Heads”, it’s coming from undersecretary’s to Presidentially appointed cabinet secretaries. This isn’t being directed by some GS-13 or -14 department head.
Any auditing contractor stupid enough to come in the door and make threats about firing people would be doing an immediate about-face and find his ass back on the street.
So again, were you of the same thought when ‘the chain of command’ brought in Fauci and he started levying requirements related to COVID? No one was whining in my original post, I am simply implying if a ‘chain of command’s’ decisions are absolute, then you should have the same energy for Fauci as he was installed by the ‘chain of command’.
When I was the chauffer, I had to write the time down for every bank/other delivery stop times, arriving and time leaving plus the amount of items beiing delivered and picked up. It was called a chauffers sheet.. When I was the Messenger (signer of merchandise) I had to keep a sheet with all the stops on it. As the chauffer, I had to fill out the DOT drivers log. Brink’s had to fill out the log but talking to UPS drivers, the told me that they for some reason were exempt.
Everything is electronic now, for the most part. I’m heading out to Cajun Country as I type this. We still use a driver’s sheet to record arrival and departure times, and the messenger has an outbound delivery sheet that has to be signed by the recipient and must sign a log book for pickups, but a Zebra scanner similar to the one I used for gun audits and inventories at Bass Pro is used to account for each bag. We also use body cams, which are used to keep everyone honest but also for supervisors to lend a hand if there’s a question about where to go or how to service an odd machine (ATM, cash recyclers, etc.).
I’m being told my jump times are better than most of the younger guys, and everyone seems impressed by how quickly I picked up the ATM training, so I shouldn’t have to worry about anyone questioning my work ethic. I’m glad I didn’t look more seriously at federal jobs, as I’d still be in my probation period (though we are a federal contractor).
Sloppy.
Some people do not like taking orders from an unelected beaurocrat do they? Now they are getting a good taste of what we the people have been dealing with for years.
We’ve all be dealing with that for years. The only different is this is a very uncoordinated effort to shrink the government. I agree that the government should be smaller, but there are processes in place. This deferred resignation program will cost twice as much as an actual buyout. Getting rid of nonessential agencies is essential, but be careful in doing that with DoD. Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Airmen are the DoD, but the DoD does not work without civilians anymore. Right wrong or indifferent.
The Bobs have arrived!
Ah, but the irony here is that the Bobs were a part of the problem. They would get rid of productive, well paid people to outsource to India for half the pay and one tenth the production. So the numbers would look better but the company would go under anyway because nobody wants to deal with them anymore.
True, I was mainly focused on the initial question to everyone.
At least Peter would have responded to the email.
He told them exactly what he did all day. I used to try to do the space out thing for at least 30 minutes a day.
I believe that is good for one’s mental health, just have a polite response should someone “snap” you out of it (WTF!! is a bit rude someone told me).
Wanna be a a gangster.
Yeah it feels good
The messaging on this was clear as mud, even to the point of ‘semi-firing’ people, per Trump:
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/west-wing-playbook-remaking-government/2025/02/24/youre-semi-fired-00205823
I am in favor of firing anyone who foolishly responds and mentions anything sensitive in their bullet list, though, especially since nobody has said which AI it’s going through. (Please don’t be DeepSeek, please don’t be DeepSeek…)
Soooooo, just a guestimate on how many civilians are working with classified information that is so secret that it can even be talked about obliquely? According to available data perhaps 10% have a clearance. So the other 90% have absolutely no reason not to comply.
I hold a TS-SCI. I do not work with classified equipment or handle classified documents. But… I work in a lot of highly classified areas. I can tell anyone anything I do, I just can’t tell you where I’m doing it. I’m kinda pissed that Elon followed up his requests with a threat. That’s not a great way to win friends and influence people. My time is accounted for, all day, every day. It’s tracked all the way up to a major command level. I suggest Elon start looking there instead of threatening the rank and file. I support his efforts and DOGE. This method is not helping him or Trump. There’s a shitload of dead wood in government that needs pruning. Threatening to burn down the forest to accomplish that is ineffective and frankly childish.
I wasn’t saying that was the majority of folks, just that if you do foolishly send sensitive material around, you’ve clearly failed the most basic litmus test on whether you should have access to sensitive material.
On the larger issue, I don’t think anyone should get fired by Musk running a few bullet points through an AI. Let the Trump appointees in those agencies handle that. It’s both a localization of responsibility, and a general distrust of AI for these kinds of things.
The whole exercise was to find out who is an actual employee and who is a fictious employee. After uncovering all those collecting SS checks that are well beyond dead, DOGE needed to see who working and who is “just on the payroll”.
I didn’t think it was possible for US Government workers to drop any lower in the general public’s opinion, but after all the belly-aching about 5 bullets points they managed to do it. I work for a DoD Contractor and are subject to the DCAA, and I can give 5 bullet points if what I did today after lunch. I have a hybrid home/office setting, and the 5 bullet points would take about 5 minutes. 3 minutes is me laughing about those who can’t/won’t list 5 things.
This was covered in another thread, but the Musk claims on there being hordes of undead 150-year olds collecting SS checks is clearly false.
As for the few minutes it takes to send Musk an email, sure, it’s not a lot of time, and most people can do it. But as I said above, I think feeding bullet points from folks into an AI to identify ‘critical people’ and fireable people is asinine, and predicated on a laughably poor understanding of AI, too.
“the Musk claims on there being hordes of undead 150-year olds collecting SS checks is clearly false.”
Any particular reason your claims are more credible than Musk’s?
Another interesting question is why are people who have been dead for over forty or fifty years still in SSA databases?
The whole 150 year old thing is what happens when you send 25 year old interns to audit a computer system (written in COBOL!) from the 1960’s.
Obviously, there are not people over 100 collecting SSA benefits. But that does not mean there are not fraudsters that have obtained their SS numbers and are collecting in their names. If the VA won’t check the data base of Vietnam POW’s to verify vets falsely claiming they were POWs, I can envision the SSA just continuing to send checks or direct deposits for the deceased
I’m all for rooting out the fraud, and yes, it clearly exists. Just not on the scale being claimed, which is frustrating because exaggerating the real problem to unrealistic levels just erodes trust and makes real change harder.
As an aside, there are actually people over 100 collecting SSA – about 90K of them:
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5156451-social-security-benefits-fraud/
Really, and how do we know there are 90K over 100 years old who are actually still alive. What is there to stop family members who are on their bank accounts from continuing to withdraw the funds for a dead great uncle. If you will recall, we had prisoners collecting unemployment benefits to the tune of billions of dollars in the past five years.
Is it false? You know this for a fact? The mere fact that these 150 year-olds exist on the SS rolls means it’s time to dig deeper. Is there fraud, or is it just sloppiness? Either is inexcusable.
Here’s what I know for a fact:
1) There are not ‘millions and millions’ of people over 100 years old collecting social security. (A claim by Trump)
and 2a) there are not ‘tens of millions’ of people fraudulently collecting social security (implied by Musk), and 2b) there are not tens of millions of people ‘marked as alive’ in the social security database that are over 150 years old. (claimed by Musk).
I also do know, of course, that there is fraud in social security, but the scale is what’s clearly false. If Trump claimed we had billions of illegal immigrants cross the border last year, I’d say that’s completely false. That doesn’t mean we don’t have any, as there’s obviously a problem there, but it means the exaggerated claim is just nonsensical because of the scale.
Here’s a read that has some additional information:
https://apnews.com/article/social-security-payments-deceased-false-claims-doge-ed2885f5769f368853ac3615b4852cf7
The real issue is why there are so many millions of dead listed as alive in the SS database.
An agency, NGO, etc. lists dozens, scores, or hundreds of “employees”. Based on that number, budgets are created, requested and fulfilled. When a large portion of those employees are “ghost” SS numbers, the pay, benefits, expenditures, etc., of those ghost employees actually go where?
So, paychecks are cut, taxes are paid, and tax refunds are issued, all to people who are long dead and don’t exist except as “employees” of said agency, NGO, etc. Because date of birth is one of the pieces of information that is NOT on your Federal tax return, just your social security number, the age of the employee doesn’t trigger a flag.
Of the hundreds of thousands or even millions of super-centenarians being identified, how many are “working” for or retired and receiving pensions from these agencies, NGO’s, etc.? How many of the poor, unfairly terminated employees of agencies, NGO’s, etc. are actually ghost employees? How many of the real -living- employees of said agencies, NGO’s, etc. are fully aware of these scams and benefit from the slush funds these ghost employees create for said agencies, NGO’s, etc.?
Louisiana Senator John Kennedy gave a speech on the Senate floor which answers at least part of the “why” question. It seems that once someone’s death is reported to, let’s say, SSA, they DON’T share that information with other governmental departments.
Seems that each little government fiefdom wants to keep its own secrets and doesn’t want to talk to other areas. If they did (and if Congress would pass Kennedy’s bill requiring them to do so), maybe we wouldn’t have so many people now enjoying the afterlife listed as still being stuck in this one.
My mother in law passed in January. The mortuary that issues the death certificate notifies Social Security of the death once the certificate is filed. At least, they’re supposed to. In this case, they did. As soon as her SSN was logged as “deceased”, her SS payments stopped, plus they took back the payment for January. Her civil service pension immediately stopped, and her bank account was frozen. All that, just based on the issuance of a certificate of death. We didn’t have to contact any of those agencies. The system can work, provided it is properly utilized. And there’s the problem.
Anyone in the army should find this easy to answer.
Close with either:
“That’s a Fact, Jack! – Pvt John Winger”
Or
“We do more before 9AM than most people do all day!”
I think my reply was more accurate, at least based upon my observations while deployed.
That’s a lot of bating you must’ve observed.

I can bash my head against my keyboard at work and come up with five things I accomplished in a WEEK, so the whiners got me puzzled.
Shit, write a list of things you WANT to accomplish in a work week and just erase the ones you didn’t get to… that’s even easier.
These whiney assholes are insufferable.
Directive from my higher-ups (in this case, Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness) says to “pause any response to the OPM email titled “What did you do last week.”
So here we are. And I understand many federal departments are saying this.
Same-same from the Agency that places objects into orbit.
And yours too.
And this is why I said the messaging is clear as mud. Here’s to hoping cooler heads prevail and your job is fine.
My job is fine, we’re not going anywhere. The messaging was very clear. My productivity is accounted and tracked every day by my team lead, supervisor, manager, and branch chief. It’s reported all the way up the chain of command to Army Material Command HQ. Everything I do is documented by a work order request and work order, again tracked at AMC HQ. The data on government employees productivity is readily available to Elon and his DOGE team. A mass email ending in a threat was absolutely the worst way to accomplish this. People arguing that it only takes 5 minutes to respond are missing the point. Don’t threaten good people to weed out the bad. Very bad tactic.
Glad to hear your job is fine. And I simply meant the mixed messaging between your command and DOGE – eg, pause on responding vs you must respond or you’re fired.
Agreed that the threats are a bad tactic.
Many agencies told their employees do not respond. I don’t know he exact number, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say most government agencies did. And those agencies are headed by Trump appointees. He hired them to clean those agencies up, Elon’s tactic’s directly undermined their authority. Not a good look.
SFC D – this, right here, is the one valid objection. “Elon’s tactic’s directly undermined their authority.”
No matter how onboard with Trump’s mission these newly appointed agency heads may be, no one wants someone else messing up their sandbox. Particularly one that is in the house they just moved in to and they haven’t had a chance yet to sift for cat turds.
It would have been better to send it to the agency heads to disseminate first. Still with the same timeline with one or two days added to allow for the agency heads to get it disseminated.
Yes. Exactly.
My first response above, while intended to be humourous would be the type of response I would have expected my soldiers would have wanted to send.
They have already replaced most of the leadership so trying to micromanage 4,000,000 bureaucrats is silly at this point. What they are saying is that we don’t trust the guys we just placed in charge to what we told them to do.
Some of them are already taking action, right at the start.
https://nypost.com/2025/02/26/us-news/dni-tulsi-gabbard-says-shes-firing-over-100-intel-employees-who-took-part-in-obscene-sex-chatrooms/
Downsizing needed? No doubt. Right way to do it? Meh, maybe/maybe not. Again, maybe the ones bitching the loudest need to be investigated the hardest. Every company in the world tries to find a way to tell whether the employee is productive or not. Yep, you have a lot of dead weight, but you also have a goodly number of people that actually work and get something done.
IIRC one reason for sending the email out and to get a reply was to see if there was anybody that had that email address, still working.
Quit bitching about the guys trying to find and curtail wasted taxpayer $s and start bitching about the ones that are wasting taxpayer $s.
Ditto. That should be the concern. Some of these “workers” might be deceased but still getting direct deposit in their bank accounts.
“IIRC one reason for sending the email out and to get a reply was to see if there was anybody that had that email address, still working.”
Simple task. He’s supposedly got the best IT guys ever. He can check usage of every government email in existence without the user’s knowledge, no permission is required.
Easy.
This email is listed as coming from an outside organization. We take Annual training every year to deal with emails just like this one.
Any further inquiries can be sent to my Chain of Command and can be released via the proper protocols.
You left out NOYB.
I’ll add it to my follow up email I’m sure that I’ll get next Saturday afternoon. I’ve already got replied to last week’s “What did you do email” as my first bullet point.
Idiocy.
Is that similar to NUNYA?
The Network Enterprise Center data dudes here lot their minds when OPM started sending mass e mails to EVERY federal employee. It looked like the world’s largest phishing attempt. Got buried in calls reporting it as such. Holy shit, that training DOES work!
The guy telling you not to the email requesting your accomplishments for the previous week is related to that Barracks Lawyer who told you to waive the Article 15 and demand a Court Martial, because the Command will not follow through.
The guy telling you not to respond to the email requesting your accomplishments for the previous week is related to that Barracks Lawyer who told you to waive the Article 15 and demand a Court Martial, because the Command will not follow through.
We had a Barracks Lawer like that during my AD Army days, he followed his own advice and ended up with a Field Grade Article 15, reduced to E1, “45 and 45” with a chapter discharge after that.
Hack always said that the Brig is chock full of people smarter than the Marine Corps.
Okay, so Hack got to wondering about “chock full”.
Middle English chokkeful already had the same meaning as modern chock-full. Both this word and choke “to strangle” likely derive ultimately from Old English words meaning “jaw, cheek.” The end result is the same: a mouthful.
Alternately, chokkeful may derive from a more violent word: forced full.

I never received the email from the Bobs axin’ me what I did last week. I did receive the email from some Undersec. saying to hold off.
Regardless, I don’t have bullets ready to send, but I did place a raw fish on my desk so I can gut that fucker later.
I am currently a defense contractor. I love my job and embrace it every day. At times , I actually feel like I am more concerned than the units that I am supporting – are regarding their own readiness! (Yeah,,, I said that!!!!!you know who you are!!!!!!!) ( oh,,,,, and F your S3)
However, every day, I log my activities (down to the 30 minute mark), I can’t keep up less than that. But,,,, if audited, I am more than happy to show the American Taxpayer what I did for them!!!! And they get their monies-worth from me every day, because I actually LOVE my job!!!!!!
As a Trump supporter and believer in all they are trying to do, this email thing specifically and the larger plan to cut the force in general is being done idiotically, and will go down as a big L for the home team. Even though it is desperately needed.
What’s the purpose of the email? Justify the quality if your work? Serve as a “pulse check” or whatever to get accountability? That second one is not true because the OPM team sent out an email to ALL federal email addresses to confirm they were active and asked for a reply so as to confirm the distribution list for the email on deferred resignation (the 8 month paycheck for quitting). They know those emails were answered. Why another?
As for accountability, nothing screams “I don’t trust you” like not using his newly appointed cabinet and other leaders to work accountability in their agencies. DOGE, near as I can figure, is nine echelons up from me. That’s like an Army (numbered field army) commander getting accountability of, not a corps, division, brigade, battalion, company, platoon squad or fire team but an individual rifleman. Look at your cabinet and say “I want an accurate accounting 100 percent of your people and your pay checks, with all discrepancies reconciled” in 30 days.
Why 30? Because the other impending problem is that of “you want it bad, you get it bad.” All of these “now” suspenses for every requirement is going to mean task overload and cutting corners to meet the short notices. Give the tasks and then monitor until completion. Don’t just keep flinging them out to make headlines. The quality of all this highly-necessary action is going to suffer for it and I want it all done right. Not right now. There’s a difference.
Spot on. I’m all for accountability. I don’t know any federal employees that aren’t. I also don’t know any that need to be worried about it. We all know there are hundreds if not thousands of federal employees that need to go. I don’t think people realize just how difficult it is to cashier a bad federal employee. Between EEO laws, unions, and a multitude of other “protective” regulations, it nearly takes a murder conviction to toss a deeply-entrenched federal employee. See also “Anthony Fauci”.
Completely off topic, please bow your heads in a moment of silence to acknowledge the passing of Hack Stone’s girlfriend ten years ago this evening.

Just had to give you a thumbs up for creativity and the chuckle.
So, you have been communicating with the ghost of Ol’ Bernutz hisself. Do they have light sport planes in Hell?
This would achieve its desired intention – to find out if someone is still alive.
We’re going to see lots of malicious compliance as things pan out.
Why do I think many bullets will include something similar to this in the days ahead.
Produced weekly activity report (WAR) for DOGE.
I think you’re going to see a lot of that from former members of the E4 Mafia. If they actually existed. I admit nothing.
Imagine being upset that you have to produce a productivity report ONCE in your work life….talk about being entitled.
Must be nice to be a civil servant….
Out here in the wilds of the private sector failing to provide any reports on your work progress is grounds for termination.
My company collects data on projects in process while the projects are in production, anyone failing to consistently be logged into a production process gets some retraining initially and then they get terminated if they can’t ever get with the program….
Anyone thinking this is an egregious violation of their work environment must have never had a job where deadlines and production have to be met. That’s a sad reality if it is so.
I think it’s less about having to produce a report, and more that a) various agencies are giving conflicting information as to whether to respond to this or not, and b) (for me, anyway) relying on some assholes equipped with an AI to evaluate your job is less than reassuring.
Especially when that same team fired a bunch of NNSA folks, then realized what they did and scrambled to rehire them. Weaponized incompetence is never good.
I do some work for the government, and of course have to provide regular status updates. The notion that people are freaking out over having to do what they routinely do is false. They’re freaking out over the threats, miscommunication, and downright foolish way this is being asked.
So you think we just run amok all day, sucking off the government teat without having to produce anything? You couldn’t be more wrong. All the data Elon needs already exists, productivity is tracked, in multiple databases readily available through any government computer. People aren’t upset because they have to account for their time or justify their existence. You don’t drain the swamp by threatening the rank and file. I completely understand Elon’s intent and I support his efforts 100%. BUT… you don’t fix a damn thing in government by starting at the bottom.
Just an observation, based on all the replies to this thread.
A certain poster on this blog, let’s call him Lars the commie cuttlefish, regularly claims that al, of us here are a hive mind, cult followers of President Trump, etc. And that we mindlessly clap for anything / everything he says or does.
But in reading all the replies, I see a WIDE range of opinions on the subject. Some agree with it, some like the thought, but not the execution, some ridicule the whole thing.. you get the point.
It’s almost exactly the opposite of the claims made by the mendacious mollusk… just though that was interesting..
What that fraud won’t see is that we’re disagreeing respectfully and actually expressing our differing viewpoints without getting personal or profane. OK, now that I’ve said that Chip will show up and call us all fuckwits or something of that nature. I’m sure he means it with all the love in his tiny black heart.
Chip is a special case, yes, but I agree. Honest and respectful disagreement is something beyond Commissars capabilities and understanding.
Better late than never….
