'New Doge/Musk Email Goes Seriously Sideways'

[sop]

(Musk sent email telling US federal workers: List accomplishments or resign.)

"Over the course of the evening top leadership at the FBI, the State Department, the VA, the Department of the Navy (to its civilian employees) and other parts of the government have explicitly instructed employees in their departments and agencies to ignore the email. Meanwhile the DOJ seems to be instructing its employees to follow it. (And yes, FBI is sort of under DOJ and that’s kind of weird but that’s where we are.)"

"It’s important to note that these emails are authorized or allowed if not directed by the President of the United States. And yet whole wings of the government are saying to ignore it. I mentioned to someone this evening that they’re treating a presidentially authorized email as some kind of insider threat."

"But here you have seemingly the first time where his own appointees are pushing back and in a fairly public way."
