The Hypothetical “Order” From Elon Musk via Email Caused Impasse Between New Department and Traditional Government Structures

An controversial piece of information involving Elon Musk and an alleged email sent to public servers in the United States is circulating in the international press. According to Fortune, the billionaire reportedly used the newly created Department of Governance Optimization and Efficiency (DOGE) to demand weekly reports from all federal employees, under the threat of immediate dismissal for failure to respond, according to the website Terra.

Mandatory Report in Elon Musk’s “Email”

The publication claims that the alleged email sent by Elon Musk to more than 2.3 million federal employees had the following subject line: “What Did You Do Last Week?”

In the body of Elon Musk’s message, it was requested that each employee report their activities from the previous week. If the email was not responded to within 48 hours, the lack of response would be interpreted as abandonment of duty.

Resistance From Federal Agencies

According to the same source, institutions such as NASA, the Pentagon, and the FBI chose not to respond to the communication, claiming that the confidential nature of their activities prevents such disclosure, even internally.

This possible resistance may have generated tensions between the new department, supposedly led by Musk, and the traditional pillars of American public administration.

It is worth noting that Musk has used similar strategies in the past. In 2022, upon taking over Twitter (now X), he sent internal messages requesting immediate compliance with the company’s new guidelines, which ultimately resulted in large-scale layoffs.
