Trump administration to formally cancel Musk's 'weekly report' plan
CCTV reporters learned on August 5th local time that sources familiar with the matter revealed that the Trump administration plans to officially cancel, as early as that day, a "weekly report" initiative initiated by Elon Musk, which required federal employees to summarize their five work achievements from the previous week. The White House and the Office of Personnel Management did not immediately respond to requests for comment. On February 22nd, Musk, then head of the "Government Effectiveness Department," stated that, in accordance with US President Trump's instructions, all federal government employees would receive an email asking them to list five work items they had completed in the previous week. Employees who failed to respond to this email by 11:59 PM on February 24th would be deemed to have resigned. This move was opposed by multiple government departments and Democrats.
