Elon Musk, serving as a senior advisor to President Trump and leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), introduced a controversial policy requiring all federal employees to submit a weekly productivity report or face resignation. Announcing the directive on X, Musk warned that failure to respond to an email request would be interpreted as a resignation. He downplayed the requirement, insisting the report should take less than five minutes to complete and that “the bar is very low.”

The policy sparked widespread confusion across federal agencies. While the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) confirmed its validity, agencies like the FBI and the State Department urged employees to wait for further clarification. Labor unions, including the American Federation of Government Employees, condemned the move and vowed to challenge any unlawful terminations. Critics, including union leaders, denounced the ultimatum as disrespectful and reflective of the administration’s disregard for federal employees. Legal experts have also questioned the policy’s legitimacy. Meanwhile, Musk has praised employees who complied, suggesting they should be considered for promotion.
