Elon Musk says ‘bar is very low’ after ordering federal employees to fill out productivity reports or resign

In a surprising turn of events, billionaire Elon Musk has announced that all federal employees must report their productivity in order to keep their jobs. This directive comes as part of Musk’s role as a senior advisor to President Donald Trump, who has been vocal about the need for a more efficient and accountable federal workforce.

Musk stated that all federal employees will receive an email asking them to explain what they accomplished in the previous week. Failure to respond to this email will be interpreted as a resignation. The report should take less than five minutes to complete, with the deadline set for 11:59 p.m. on Monday.

“The bar is very low here. An email with some bullet points that make any sense at all is acceptable! Should take less than 5 mins to write,” Musk stated on a social media platform.

Despite the low expectations, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) confirmed Musk’s plans, emphasizing the need for an efficient and accountable federal workforce. However, new FBI Director Kash Patel has instructed agency employees not to respond to the OPM email yet, citing the need for coordination with the FBI’s review processes.

The American Federation of Government Employees labor union has expressed outrage over Musk’s directive, calling it cruel and disrespectful. The union plans to challenge any unlawful terminations of its members and federal employees across the country.

This move comes as part of the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency’s efforts to cut waste and improve productivity across the federal government. It remains to be seen how federal employees will respond to this new requirement and what impact it will have on the overall efficiency of the government.
