Elon Musk's Bold Government Overhaul: New DOGE Policies Shake U.S. Administration.

Chennai: A recent email sent by Elon Musk, serving as the head of the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), to national government officials has sparked intense debates. While the email appears simple, its tone is highly assertive.

In the email, Musk has asked officials to list the work they have accomplished over the past few months and outline their job responsibilities. He emphasized that those who fail to respond will be considered as having resigned from their positions.

Furthermore, Musk warned that even if officials do respond but their performance is deemed unsatisfactory, they will be removed from their roles. He has given a strict 48-hour deadline for all officials to submit an update detailing the work they completed in the past week. Failure to comply or providing unsatisfactory reports will result in disciplinary action, including possible termination.

Former President Donald Trump, who appointed Musk as the head of DOGE, has criticized Musk’s current performance, suggesting that while Musk is working, he needs to push himself even harder. In response, Musk has promised to accelerate his efforts. There are also reports that Musk was previously frustrated with a major decision made by Trump that impacted SpaceX, Musk’s aerospace company.

As anticipated, Trump handed over the leadership of the DOGE to Musk, which is expected to result in the removal of several government officials. This mirrors Musk’s actions after acquiring Twitter, where he dismissed a large number of employees. Similarly, he is now expected to streamline government operations by replacing underperforming officials.

Elon Musk, who was once a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party, has recently shifted his political stance to the right. In this election cycle, he openly supported Trump, providing significant financial backing for his campaign. Musk has also been a vocal critic of current President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, often opposing their policies.

Trump’s appointment of Musk to this cabinet role highlights the formation of a new administrative team aimed at enhancing government efficiency under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
