Elon Musk’s “What did you do last week?” Email blocks government inbox

Elon Musk’s need for federal workers to submit five bullet points details their weekly work: The inbox is full.

Workers submitting the list – Musk’s Ministry of Efficiency cuts federal budget and reduces the size of the federal labor force – are receiving a bouncing email informing them that their message has not been delivered.

An email seen by Bloomberg News stated: “The recipient’s email is full and the message is not accepted now.

The Department of Health and Human Services told employees that emails to the Office of Personnel Management Address are being returned, and instructed them to send weekly achievements to other OPM email addresses, according to instructions from Bloomberg News.

OPM and HHS did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

It was a famous malfunction for Musk, who once touted the Governor as a solution to simplify the government system and appeared near Washington wearing a black T-shirt with “technical support” printed on it.

Weekly “Five Things” emails have been the subject of controversy since Doge filed their report last month. Several presidents of President Donald Trump told employees to ignore the directive on the grounds of safety risks.

Musk claims that if workers don’t answer, they will be fired, prompting the White House to clarify whether workers should send weekly productivity notes to OPM, depending on leadership at each agency.

More than a million people (less than half of all federal workers) responded to Musk’s emails in the first week of their submissions. Since then, the White House has not provided new data.

Still, the full inbox notification shows that OPM is receiving a large number of incoming emails and has raised questions about that information, if any.

Federal agencies provide their workers with various instructions and sometimes conflicting instructions on whether to respond to emails. Last week, NASA made its debut in an app for workers to use to send reports rather than send messages to OPMs, calling it a “safe, internal tool.”

The requirement for federal employees to record their productivity coincides with a wave of layoffs, which is part of Doge’s efforts to eliminate the scale of the government.

The voluntary acquisition of workers was initially provided, followed by trial employees’ shooting and eliminated the office of diversity, equity and inclusion. The Trump administration also attempts to effectively dismantle the entire agency, including the Consumer Financial Protection Agency and the U.S. International Development Agency.

Trump suggested on Monday that the cuts could end soon, with his cabinet members happy with the reduction in Doge’s staff over the next two or three months.
