Intel stock extends gains after report of possible U.S. government stake
Investing.com -- Elon Musk’s initiative to increase government efficiency is encountering an unexpected hurdle. The effort, which requires federal employees to provide a weekly summary of their work in five points, has led to an overloaded email system, according to a report from Bloomberg.
The initiative is part of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, which aims to reduce the federal budget and trim the federal workforce. However, workers trying to submit their weekly summaries are receiving bounceback emails, indicating that their messages could not be delivered due to a full inbox.
The bounceback emails, as observed by Bloomberg News, informed employees that "The recipient’s mailbox is full and can’t accept messages now. Please try resending your message later, or contact the recipient directly." The emails were initially directed to HR@opm.gov, an address associated with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has been made aware of the situation. In response, the HHS has instructed its employees to send their weekly summaries to an alternative OPM email address.
Neither the OPM nor the HHS have responded to requests for comment on the issue at the time of reporting.
