Apart from having SpaceX CEO Elon Musk as the head, the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has become synonymous with one other thing – its favourite question to federal employees, “What did you do last week?"

On Saturday, too, the DOGE asked the employees to justify their jobs as part of the Trump administration’s broader initiative to cut government spending. The new emails were sent just a week after Musk, whom US President Donald Trump tasked with downsizing the government, sent a similar email on February 23.

The federal workforce is being asked to submit evidence of the job duties they completed over the past week or face potential dismissal.

While the cruel question has left employees confused and worried, News18 asked the question to Musk’s other favourite – Grok 3, an artificial intelligence (AI) model owned by him.

WHAT IS GROK 3?

Grok 3 is an advanced AI model developed by xAI, a company established by Musk and a team of innovators in 2023, to provide helpful and truthful answers, often with a dash of outside perspective on humanity.

The chatbot says its purpose is to assist users in understanding the universe and tackling various tasks, drawing inspiration from the likes of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and JARVIS from Iron Man.
