Trump Officials Defy Elon Musk! Instruct Federal Government Staff to Ignore DOGE

High-Ranking Trump officials instructed the FBI, State Department, Defense Department, National Security, National Intelligence, HHS, and the Justice Department staff to ignore Elon's weekend demands.

February 24, 2025: Forbes reported, “High-ranking officials at the following agencies have sent messages to employees directing them not to respond to Musk’s Saturday evening email according to multiple reports: the FBI, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Defense, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, U.S. Courts System, State Department, Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice. That’s despite the fact that those agencies are largely run by key Trump allies, including Patel, Rubio, Noem, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Attorney General Pam Bondi.”

What Did You Do Last Week?

REUTERS reported;

Federal workers on Saturday evening received an email instructing them to detail the work they did during the previous week by 11:59 p.m. ET on Monday (today). The subject of the email read, "What did you do last week?" and came from a human resources address in the Office of Personnel Management.

After the emails were sent to federal workers, Musk posted on X that failing to respond to his demand would be taken as a resignation.

While it’s easy to get caught up in Elon Musk’s entertainment and shock value, I’m relieved to see that the FBI (Kash Patel), Health & Human Services (RFK Jr.), Department of Defense (Pete Hegseth), Department of Homeland Security (Kristi Noem), Director of National Security (Tulsi Gabbard), Department of Justice (Pam Bondi) and the State Department (Marco Rubio) have the courage to speak out against Elon’s unfettered authoritarian reign of chaos throughout the Federal agencies they have been entrusted by President Trump, the Senate, and the American people to lead.
