Trump appointees appear to contradict Musk for first time in pushback to OPM email

A rift appeared to open Sunday between some of President Donald Trump’s agency heads and Elon Musk, the billionaire tasked with reforming the federal government, over Musk’s demand that all federal employees state their weekly accomplishments or risk termination.

By Sunday evening, leaders at the Pentagon, Federal Bureau of Investigation, State Department, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Energy had all instructed their staff not to reply to an email that federal workers received from the Office of Personnel Management on Saturday afternoon with the subject line: “What did you do last week?”

By Sunday, even some Republicans had voiced opposition to Trump’s plan.

“If I could say one thing to Elon Musk, it’s, ‘Please put a dose of compassion in this. These are real people. These are real lives,’” Sen. John Curtis of Utah said in a Sunday interview on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “It’s a false narrative to say we have to cut, and you have to be cruel to do it, as well. We can do both.”

  1. I'm a compassionate guy. I love the American people, and don't want their tax money to be wasted on frivolous expenses. If a government employee can't justify his job by describing what he does at work, then he has demonstrated that his "job" is nonexistent.

    1. Only Musk knows how to evaluate performance not the person's supervisors or members of his organization!?
      Up until now there were no valid performance evaluations because only a billionaire who is pro Trump knows anything!
