Quote:If all two million federal workers spent five minutes responding to the email—about the time Musk said the task would require—the process would take 10 million minutes total, or more than 166,600 hours, Fortune calculated. Federal workers make an average of about $106,000 annually, or about $51 hourly for a 40-hour work week, according to OPM, meaning the time needed for all federal workers to reply to the email could cost the government about $8.5 million in wages—more than half of DOGE’s current $14.4 million budget.
