Defense Secretary Pete Hegseeth told the employees of the Civil Pentagon to answer a new Elon Musk -E -mail he called 'Just a Pulse Check' that she directed to mention five things they did last week.
He gave the order in an online video that was placed on the X site of Musk – and told about 950,000 civilian employees of the Pentagon that he ordered them to respond.
That comes a week after Hegseeth and several other cabinet secretaries had told their employees to get 'break' after the original Saturday post of Musk who tells them that they should send an e -mail against a midnight day Deadline or face.
“I now give every member of the civilian work file of the department, only civilian, to provide those five bullets about what they achieved in their specific jobs last week to answer that E -mail and their direct supervisor,” Hegseeth said.
“It is really a simple task, as Elon said, as the president recognized in our first cabinet meeting – only a pulse control – are you there? – From Dod Civilians, 'using Musk's meaning.
That is how Musk described the e -mail, after the Federal Personnel Management office in his own E -mail said it was voluntary, but President Donald Trump said that people who did not respond could be fired or “semi -decisions”.
Trump then repeated the threat in his first cabinet meeting last week, where Musk first spoke, while most members of the cabinet are silent.
“Maybe they will be gone, maybe they are not there, maybe they have other jobs, maybe they have moved and they are not where they should be,” Trump speculated about the government-wide e-mails. “Many things could have happened.”

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseeth told Pentagon -employees to answer an e -mail looking for a message that summarized five things they did last week
“At the moment we are trying to find out who those people are who did not respond.”
Those who don't do that would be “on the bubble,” Trump said.
Hegseeth said that the Pentagon employees would receive an e -mail that would soon explain the steps they should take to meet this initiative, and then the reports within the department will be consolidated internally to comply with the OPM Directive. '
“It is very simple and clear, the guideline to civil employees will be clear: answer to the E -mail, CC your supervisor, offer, without any classified or sensitive information, basic subjects of what you did last week.”
He said that the department will take this into account, because we ensure that we are as focused and made to be tailor -made as possible by looking at how we streamlin our workforce to meet both at the moment with the tax demands, but also ensure that we have the strongest, most viable fighting power in the world.
