- Elon Musk's DOGE asked federal workers to send in a list of their weekly accomplishments.
- "Shark Tank" star Mark Cuban thinks Musk might have forgotten about the request.
- "Already forgotten. Typical. Ready. Fire. Aim," Cuban said.
Mark Cuban thinks Elon Musk might have forgotten about the productivity emails the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, sent to federal workers last month.
"Whatever happened to the "5 things" DoGe emails? Talked to someone really smart who just left gov, who said all the emails bounced back as inbox full," Cuban wrote in a Bluesky post on Wednesday.
"Already forgotten. Typical. Ready. Fire. Aim," he added.
As of press time, Musk had not publicly responded to Cuban's post.
On February 22, the Office of Personnel Management emailed federal workers and asked them to submit a list of their accomplishments by 11:59 p.m. ET on February 24. Musk said then that failure to respond by the deadline "will be taken as a resignation."
The email request sparked confusion across government, with at least eight agencies, including the Defense Department and State Department, telling workers not to reply to OPM's email.
The White House said in February that over a million federal employees have responded to the email, less than half of the entire federal workforce. Federal workers were later told to send in their list of work accomplishments every week.
On Tuesday, Bloomberg reported that federal employees couldn't submit their weekly list because OPM's email inbox was full.
To be sure, Cuban isn't a fan of Musk and President Donald Trump.
The "Shark Tank" star initially endorsed President Joe Biden's reelection campaign. He switched his support to Vice President Kamala Harris after she replaced Biden on the ballot.
While campaigning for Harris, Cuban criticized Trump's views on tax cuts and tariffs. He also slammed tech and business titans for viewing Trump as a means to achieve their interests and agendas.
"They want Trump to be the CEO of the United States of America, and they want to be the board of directors that makes him listen to them," Cuban told "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart in an interview in August.
"They've gotten to the point now where they feel like they should control the world," Cuban added.
Cuban, Musk, and the White House DOGE office did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.
