Don't listen and get fired.  Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has sent out a second mass e-mail to executive branch employees requiring them to list their weekly accomplishments by midnight Monday — but with a new requirement excepting classified information. 

        The new missive hit email boxes via the Office of Personnel Management, and bore the subject line “What did you do last week? Part II,” in a callback to last week’s DOGE email that caused an uproar and confusion.  The federal employees have until 11:59 p.m. ET to write an email listing 5 bullets describing what they accomplished last week.  The email added the new requirement that targeted agencies whose employees sought to be exempt from the extra paperwork due to the secretive nature of their work.  Respondents were told not to send links, attachments, or any classified or sensitive information — and were given the option to write “All of my activities are sensitive.”

     “Going forward, please complete the above task each week by Monday at 11:59pmET,” the email stated. Several of Trump’s newly appointed agency heads told their employees to ignore Musk’s accountability-minded email initiative.  Both FBI director Kash Patel and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard told their agencies to ignore the demand.      Musk took to X to emphasize that the email is mandatory — responding to claims the Secretary Pete Hegseth has told the Department of Defense employees to circulate their reports internally as well as to OPM.
