Elon Musk ordered federal employees to detail their accomplishments from the previous week within 48 hours. The directive was announced on social media and followed by a brief email requiring a response with about five bullet points. Several agencies advised staff not to comply. An email from Acting Undersecretary Tibor Nagy stated that the State Department will respond for the entire agency and employees need not report activities outside their official chain of command. Government agencies are now determining the next steps while addressing widespread confusion among employees.
