Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk, said on Feb. 23 that an email to federal employees asking them to report their accomplishments over the past week is designed to root out fraud from people who aren’t working.
Hundreds of thousands of federal workers were given about 48 hours to provide a response to the email. The deadline to reply is listed as 11:59 p.m. local time on Feb. 24, although the email did not include the same warning that Musk had issued in a separate post on social media platform X.
