When Elon Musk asked federal employees to send an email listing out five things they accomplished in the past week, most agency heads told their workers not to respond to the directive from President Trump's billionaire advisor. That is not the case with Leland Dudek, the recently appointed acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA), who took a different tack by sending a staff email of his own email on Monday touting accomplishments—including his recent dismissal of several employees.
Addressed to President Donald Trump, Dudek's bullet-pointed list, viewed by Fortune, describes how he has led SSA to "accelerate the enactment of the Social Security Fairness Act," signed into law by former President Joe Biden, and "terminate 14 employees." He thanked the president for "the opportunity to report on our work."
