US axes Musk's 'five things' email directive for federal employees after 5 months
US government has axed billionaire and ex-DOGE chief Elon Musk's 'five things' email directive, which mandated federal employees list five things they did in the previous week. This comes weeks after a public fallout between Musk and US President Donald Trump and five months after the directive was issued. Multiple federal agencies had already phased out compliance with the directive.
