Musk Prepares Exit, Can’t Handle the Heat of His Own Accountability Furnace

As Elon Musk eyes the exit door of the Trump administration, his legacy project—the now-infamous five-accomplishments-per-week emails—has unraveled into what many in the federal workforce describe as “a joke with no punchline.”

Launched in February over X, Musk’s directive required all federal workers to email five weekly bullet points detailing their accomplishments. Failure to comply, he warned, would be treated as a resignation.

The measure, Musk insisted, was to ensure government employees had a “pulse.”

But just days later, the Office of Personnel Management quietly undercut the order. In an internal briefing, officials clarified the mandate was “voluntary,” noncompliance would not result in termination, and—perhaps most damning—there were “no plans” to do anything with the responses.

“I have not sent one in at all,” said a USDA employee. “I don’t think I should have to justify my job to some unknown entity.”

Some staff, frustrated or bemused, began responding in Russian or generating absurd word salads with ChatGPT. Others stuck with boilerplate, risk-free updates like “attended meetings” or “reviewed reports.”

In one Veterans Affairs office, an employee crafts each message carefully, hoping it might save her job. At Housing and Urban Development, another sends AI-generated gibberish. And across the board, managers quietly admit the weekly ritual is either optional, forgotten, or ignored entirely.

Musk’s plan to use the emails for performance tracking mirrors his practice at X, where software engineer Christopher Stanley reportedly sifted through weekly staff updates to assist with layoffs. Yet inside the federal government, even Musk’s allies now admit the five-point email system was launched without a strategy—or a clue.

Despite Musk’s calls for “AGGRESSIVE” government downsizing, the bureaucracy responded in its native tongue: confusion, contradiction, and quiet rebellion.

The irony is rich: Musk, who famously attacked the political left during the 2024 campaign as “out of touch crybabies,” is reportedly preparing to leave government because of what he now sees as relentless and unethical attacks from that same side. “He’s tired of it,” a source familiar with Musk’s thinking told The Washington Post. “He believes his departure won’t diminish DOGE’s impact.”

As Musk’s special government employee status ends in May, what remains is not so much a tech-infused revolution in government accountability as a paper trail of contradiction, resentment, and missed punchlines.
