White House Moves to Kill Musk’s ‘5 Things’ Emails – Why Now?

An official from the White House and the Office of Personnel Management verified to HEADLINESFOREVER that the program requiring federal employees to submit summaries of five accomplishments every week was formally stopped on Tuesday by the Trump administration.

As director of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, tech tycoon and former Trump supporter Elon Musk first proposed the requirement in February in an attempt to reduce the government workforce. Back then, Musk said on X, “the bar was very low here.”

“Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation,” he stated in his February introduction of the policy.

Despite the fact that the emails had previously been removed by several government agencies, the formal removal serves as further evidence of the divide between Musk and Trump. They were formerly close, but their relationship has now soured due to Musk’s criticisms of various bills, including the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

According to a statement by OPM Director Scott Kupor, the agency heads were advised by OPM that it would no longer “manage” or “use it internally” the procedure.

“At OPM, we believe that managers are accountable to staying informed about what their team members are working on and have many other existing tools to do so,” Kupor added with a grin.

The news that the government is discontinuing the “5 things” emails originally appeared in Reuters.
