Elon Musk announced that he will begin asking federal employees for a report detailing work done in recent days. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leader expressed on X, where he added that the lack of response to the e-mail would be interpreted as a resignation.

The mogul recently attended the Conservative Action Political Conference (CPAC), where he went viral for appearing alongside Javier Milei with a giant chainsaw. The president of Argentina brought the chainsaw as a gift for Musk.

"Consistent with President Trump’s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation," Musk wrote on his X account.

The post quickly went viral, racking up more than 12 million plays in the first few hours of publication.

DOGE announced $55 billion in savings

Less than a month into the second Trump administration, the new Department of Government Efficiency celebrated $55 billion in savings.

As they remarked, the achievement is "a combination of fraud detection/elimination, contract/lease cancellations, contract/lease renegotiations, asset sales, grant cancellations, staff reductions, programmatic changes, and regulatory savings."

President Trump said he expects to be able to use some of the money to pay down debt and some to pay back taxpayers.
