Exclusive-Trump administration to formally axe Elon Musk's 'five things' email
The Office of Personnel Management, the federal human resources agency that implemented Musk's push to slash the federal workforce, plans to announce the end of the "five things" email to HR representatives across the federal government later on Tuesday, the two people said, declining to be named because the matter was not public.
While many federal agencies had already phased out compliance with the weekly email, the move, not previously reported, signals the Trump administration is turning the page on one of Musk's most unpopular initiatives following a dramatic row between the two men in early June.
The White House and OPM did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Musk, who spent over a quarter of a billion dollars to help Trump win November's presidential election, led the Department of Government Efficiency's efforts to slash the budget and cut the federal workforce until his departure in May to refocus on his tech empire.
Musk initially received a warm White House sendoff from Trump, but then incurred the president's wrath by describing Trump's tax cut and spending bill as an abomination.
Trump pulled the nomination of Musk ally and tech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman to lead NASA and later threatened to cancel billions of dollars worth of federal contracts with Musk's companies after the blowup between the two men.
The "five things" email, launched by Musk in February to boost accountability, sparked tensions with department chiefs who were blindsided by the weekend email mandating the move. It also fueled confusion among government workers who received mixed messages about whether and how to comply.
Reuters reported in March that the White House installed two Trump loyalists at OPM to ensure better policy coordination between the White House and the agency.
Scott Kupor, a venture capitalist who took the helm at OPM in July, foreshadowed the end of the initiative last month, describing processing of the weekly response emails as "very manual" and "not efficient."
It is "something that we should look at and see, like, are we getting the value out of it that at least the people who put it in place thought they were," he said.

Non-GAAP Measures and Other Performance MetricsTo supplement the financial measures presented in our press release in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ('GAAP'), we also present the following non-GAAP measures of financial performance: Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share. A 'non-GAAP financial measure' refers to a numerical measure of our historical or future financial performance or financial position that is included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our financial statements. We provide certain non-GAAP measures as additional information relating to our operating results as a complement to results provided in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial information presented herein should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered a measure of liquidity. There are significant limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Further, these measures may differ from the non-GAAP information, even where similarly titled, used by other companies and therefore should not be used to compare our performance to that of other companies. We have presented Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share in this press release. We define Non-GAAP Gross Profit & Gross Margin as revenue less cost of revenue excluding the portion of depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense allocated to cost of revenues. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net loss before depreciation and amortization, impairment and write-off of intangible assets, interest income and expense, income tax expense (benefit), stock-based compensation expense, transaction and acquisition-related costs expensed, change in fair value of derivative instrument, non-recurring items not indicative of ongoing operations, and charitable contributions of common stock. We define Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) as net loss before amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment and write-off of intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, transaction and acquisition-related costs expensed, change in fair value of derivative instrument, non-recurring items not indicative of ongoing operations, acquisition-related effects on income tax, and charitable contributions of common stock. Non-GAAP income tax expense is calculated using our blended statutory rate except in periods of non-GAAP net loss when it is based on our GAAP income tax expense. In each case, non-GAAP income tax expense excludes the effects of acquisitions in the period on tax expense. We define Non-GAAP Earnings per Share as Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) per diluted share. We believe the use of non-GAAP financial measures, as a supplement to GAAP measures, is useful to investors in that they eliminate items that are either not part of our core operations or do not require a cash outlay, such as stock-based compensation expense. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures when evaluating operating performance and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures help indicate underlying trends in the business, are important in comparing current results with prior period results and are useful to investors and financial analysts in assessing operating performance.

Trump's tariffs and the tax bill are splitting the stock market. Here's the playbook for investors, according to Morgan Stanley.
Trump's policies are splitting the stock market, Morgan Stanley says. The bank said it believes Trump's tariffs and tax bill are splitting parts of the market in half. It says there are a handful of things for investors to look for when deciding where to put their money. President Donald Trump's policies are splitting the market into distinct camps, Morgan Stanley says. Lisa Shalett, the chief investment officer of the bank's wealth management arm, pointed to the effects of Trump's tax bill and his sweeping tariffs in a recent podcast. "Now, as the impacts of the tax reform bill and global tariff implementation begin to roll through the economy, we sense that yet another series of great divides are opening up," Shalett said. Here are the splits that are emerging: 1. Consumer-facing businesses vs. B2B businesses Businesses that sell directly to consumers are more impacted by any potential weakening fo household balance sheets, a risk that business-to-business firms are less worried about. Market pros believe that tariffs could weaken consumers' spending power, as companie can pass along the cost of import duties by raising prices. Shalett added that those pressures are coming at an already critical time for consumers, pointing out that more Americans are falling behind on credit card and auto loan payments. The job market is also flashing signs of weakness, with payrolls in May and June seeing a large downward revision, while job growth for the month of July was below expectations. A weaker labor market often leads to a pullback in consumer spending. 2. Multinational exporters vs. importers Multinational exporters outside of the consumer space are facing "fewer external barriers" to sending products abroad, Shalett said, suggesting they were more shielded from the trade war. Those firms are also benefitting from a weaker US dollar, which is making their products more attractive to foreign customers, Shalett added. Multinational firms are also typically more capital- and research & development-intensive, she said. That also positions them to benefit more from the tax benefits outlined in the "One Big Beautiful Bill," which creates favorable tax treatment for domestic R&D costs. "So, with this new structural division emerging, global stock selection is more important now than ever," Shalett said. Here are some characteristics of the companies investors should be leaning toward, in Shalett's view: Multinational non-consumer exporters. Tailwinds for these companies should continue, Shalett said. Select tech, financials, industrials, energy, and healthcare stocks.
