As the DOGE boss departs, staff have been told to come up with their ideas to cut waste and boost efficiency.
The Pentagon has ended Elon Musk’s directive for federal workers to provide a list of five of their accomplishments every week as it distances itself from one of DOGE’s most contentious policies.

Democrat Congressman Joe Courtney, a ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, said it was about time the department scrapped the policy.
“Good riddance,” he told the Daily Beast.
“For months, dedicated Defense Department civilians received Elon Musk’s insulting ‘five things’ emails. Many of these people served in the military, are highly trained and experienced, and are doing this job because they actually care about the mission.
“And yet, they were being constantly pummeled with these communications from DOGE questioning their dedication and the value of their work.”
