Elon Musk says Department of Government Efficiency works 120 hours a week.

Musk’s is trying to cut a $1 trillion or more from the federal budget.

Some executives told *** that Musk’s posts are meant to set the tone for the work culture he expects.

It’s been just under two weeks since Elon Musk stepped into his role at the

, and he’s already bringing his Silicon Valley drive to Washington.

“DOGE is working 120 hours a week. Our bureaucratic opponents optimistically work 40 hours a week. That is why they are losing so fast,” Musk posted to X on Sunday.

Less than a day earlier, he had extolled the virtues of weekend work.

“Very few in the bureaucracy actually work the weekend, so it’s like the opposing team just leaves the field for 2 days!” he wrote on X.

That’s 17 hours and 8 minutes of work a day, including Saturday and Sunday, as one X user noted in the comments.

. But whether his hard-charging tech executive mentality will work in the more staid realm of government is an open question.

An operational efficiency expert told Business Insider that Musk’s approach might be the best way to get DOGE quickly up to speed.

“Musk’s tweet underscores his well-known philosophy on work ethic and the inefficiencies of bureaucracy,” Shannon Copeland, CEO of SIB, a cost-cutting firm, told *** by text. “While a 120-hour workweek isn’t a practical or sustainable solution for most, the principle behind it resonates. Companies that prioritize efficiency, automation, and proactive cost management will always outperform those weighed down by bureaucracy.”

Roi Ginat, CEO of Endless AI, which developed a video AI assistant and has raised $100 million, said Musk’s posts shouldn’t be taken literally.

“Driving a team too hard for too long leads to fatigue and burnout. Many people simply won’t function well without enough sleep, and as fatigue sets in, errors increase,” he told *** by text. “I believe that Elon’s tweet is about an effort, not a new standard at DOGE.”

Ginat, who said he regularly works 85 hours a week, added that “my work is on my mind most of my time, and it’s an important part of the deal, but great work ideas often come while I hike with my kids.”
