Defense Department Tells Employees to Pause Reply to Musk Email

The Department of Defense told its employees to pause responding to emails asking them about their accomplishments last week, as part of a directive by Elon Musk to make the federal workforce more efficient.

The Department will coordinate responses to the email, Darin Selnick, who is performing duties for the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, said in a posting on X on Sunday.
