“The head of the Department for Government Efficiency (DOGE) Elon Musk, whose special official status expires in May, is ready to leave the Donald Trump administration because he is tired of the “unpleasant and unethical attacks” from the political left. However, he believes that this will not change the influence of his creation, as DOGE employees are already working in many federal agencies, writes The Washington Post, citing sources.”No one can say that DOGE has not been a historic success. The results speak for themselves,” says a senior official in the Trump administration, calling DOGE an example of how to quickly reshape a cumbersome bureaucracy.But the billionaire is dissatisfied. When Musk sent letters to public officials asking them to say “five things they did this week,” many simply ignored the directive, even though the billionaire threatened to fire them. According to journalists, at a briefing for senior officers from the U.S. government’s human resources department, the heads of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) declared that the directive is voluntary and not meeting the requirements will not be considered a resignation.OPM leaders also said that the agency has no intention of taking any action regarding the messages sent by employees. Against the backdrop of the expected departure of the billionaire from power and the weakening of his influence, the conflicting messages and confusion have had a predictable result. Currently, U.S. federal agencies have inconsistent policies regarding responses to DOGE emails, and more and more people are refusing to respond.For example, at the USDA, staff were initially instructed not to respond to an email, but then management said they had to think about a response and sent several suggestions for messages. A week later, employees were told to send a response, but the messages were not considered mandatory.As a result, many employees have decided not to respond, and some have even started writing in Russian. They wanted to confuse a person or artificial intelligence that would check the letter.Details HERE.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
