Federal Agency Alerts Staff on Risks of Responding to Musk’s Productivity Email
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has issued a warning to its employees regarding the potential dangers of replying to an email from Elon Musk. This email requested that employees submit a list of their accomplishments from the past week, with the agency cautioning that responses may be scrutinized by malign foreign actors.
Context Behind the Directive
Fox News Digital confirmed that HHS communicated this alert in a letter addressing an email circulated by the Office of Personnel Management. The email, titled What did you do last week?, mandated that federal employees outline five bullet points detailing their weekly achievements or risk termination.
Change in Policy Following Discussions
HHS clarified that after discussions with OPM officials, the mandatory reporting requirement has been rescinded. The department assured employees that there is no obligation to respond to OPM’s email.
