Elon Musk's DOGE creates tech headache for federal employees with "What Did You Do Last Week" emails
Washington DC - Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) recently ran into some tech issues as federal employees tried to respond to his "What did you do last week?" emails.

Back in February, Musk, who has described DOGE as the federal government's new "tech support" team, directed the made-up agency to instruct federal workers to send a list of five accomplishments they have achieved in the last week on a weekly basis.
But, according to Bloomberg, workers attempting to respond to the request this week were hit with a bounce-back email.
"The recipient's mailbox is full and can't accept messages now. Please try resending your message later, or contact the recipient directly," the response read.
The initiative is part of Musk's aggressive use of DOGE, which President Donald Trump made up after winning re-election, to eliminate wasteful government spending. So far, their efforts have resulted in thousands of workers being fired and numerous agencies being effectively shut down.
Musk vowed to immediately terminate any workers who didn't comply with his weekly email order, but sources tell ABC News that the agency doesn't appear to be enforcing it or reviewing the submissions.
Some federal workers have said they have submitted the same list every week, while another admitted to openly mocking DOGE in their emails, explaining, "I don't think anyone is reading these."
