US govt agencies including NASA refuse to cooperate with Musk:DoGE sent emails to federal employees asking them to report on work done in past week

Several government agencies, including America's space agency NASA, have opposed the email from the Department of Government Efficiency (DoGE), which asked employees to give an account of work done by them in the past week, or risk being fired. Managers from different NASA centers have instructed employees not to respond to the email. US President Trump has initiated a new department in his government, DoGE which is responsible for reducing government expenses and is headed by Elon Musk, owner of SpaceX and Tesla. DoGE has sent notices to more than 2 million government employees asking for an account of a week's work. Employees were given this notice on Saturday, and they have to respond in 5 points by Monday night. Employees who fail to respond will be considered to have resigned. Trump said Musk should be more aggressive Recently, President Donald Trump said in a social media post that DoGE needs to work faster to downsize and restructure the federal workforce. He wrote, "Elon is doing a great job, but I want to see him more aggressive. Remember, we have to save a country and make it greater than ever before." In response to Trump's post, Musk wrote, 'Will do Mr. President!'. After this Musk stated that all federal employees will soon receive an email asking them what they did in the last week. Trump says DoGE will return $5000 to all US citizens At an event in Miami, Trump said that the US government is saving thousands of billions of dollars from DoGE. Therefore, they are considering returning some of this amount to the citizens. Trump said that they will return 20% of the savings from DoGE (about 400 billion US dollars) to American citizens. This means each American family will receive $5,000. In addition, Trump will use 20% of the amount to reduce the government's debt. However, he did not specify where they will use the remaining 60% of the saved money. DoGE claims $55 billion saved since January 20 but critics raise questions Under Musk's leadership, DOGE has aggressively cut government spending. A large number of government jobs have been eliminated in the country, government properties have been sold, and several important government programs have been shut down. According to DOGE, their measures have saved $55 billion (4.7 lakh crore rupees) since January 20. However, questions are being raised about the truth of this claim. Critics say that the DOGE department has not been able to present any solid data to justify its claim.
