Some people say that people should work 40 hours a week, and some say 70 hours a week. But this is not all, global billionaire and Tesla owner Elon Musk has come out with a demand for 120 hours a week. Musk cites DOJ as an example for this. The Department of Efficiency, or DOJ, is a department that was started after Donald Trump came to power as US President to reduce unnecessary expenses and increase the efficiency of the government. Elon Musk said that DOJ employees work 120 hours a week, or an average of 17 hours a day. He also pointed out that his political opponents were quickly defeated because they did not work like this. The DOJ department is headed by Elon Musk.

There is a lot of anger on social media against Musk's remarks. Most people argue that Musk's proposal is not good for combining work and personal life. They argue that having to work more hours indicates their incompetence and lack of productivity. Many demanded that it be illegal to work overtime without permission and that the employees of the DOJ, a government department, should explain how they work so many hours.

Trump says that the DOJ is being established with the aim of eliminating wasteful spending and bureaucratic misconduct. Musk claims that the DoJ will cut excess regulations, eliminate wasteful spending, and reorganize federal agencies, paving the way for a new administration.
