In February 2025, the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, mandated that 2.3 million federal employees submit weekly reports on their work, with AI evaluating performance. Failure to comply could lead to termination.
Critics argue the system lacks transparency and unfairly targets public workers. Some agencies, including the Justice Department, have resisted the directive. Legal experts question Musk’s authority, raising constitutional concerns. Despite backlash, President Trump defends the initiative as a push for efficiency, fueling tensions over AI’s role in government oversight.
