Investing.com -- Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and SpaceX, has announced that he will be sending an email to all federal employees, asking them to report on their work accomplishments from the previous week. This move comes in response to a directive from President Trump, who expressed a desire for Musk to take a more assertive role in governmental affairs.
"Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week," Musk said on X. "Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation."
Earlier today, President Trump praised Musk’s work but urged him to be more aggressive in his approach. He emphasized the urgency of their tasks, stating that they have a country to save and ultimately make greater than ever before. Musk promptly responded to the President’s call to action, promising to comply with his request.
The email from Musk to federal employees will ask them to detail their achievements from the past week. Failure to respond to this email will be interpreted as a resignation. This is a significant step for Musk, who is taking on a more active role in the management of federal employees at the behest of President Trump.
The President’s request and Musk’s subsequent action underline the current administration’s drive for increased efficiency and accountability in the federal workforce. It also highlights the growing role of private sector leaders like Musk in governmental affairs. As we move forward, it will be interesting to see how these dynamics continue to evolve.
