    Kash Patel tells FBI staff to ignore Elon
    Musk request to list their achievements
    Feb 22

    The new FBI director, Kash Patel, has
    told his agency employees to hold off
    on responding to an email from the
    Donald Trump administration asking
    them to list their accomplishments in
    the last week as tech billionaire Elon
    Musk expands his crusade to slash the
    federal government�s size.

    Hundreds of thousands of federal
    workers had been given little more
    than 48 hours to explain what they
    achieved to the office of personnel
    management (OPM), sparking confusion
    across key agencies that included
    the US�s top law enforcement agency.

    But the FBI director � confirmed by
    the Senate on Thursday � undercut
    the request. According to ABC News,
    the agency was seeking additional
    guidance from the US justice
    department on next steps.

    �FBI personnel may have received an
    email from OPM requesting information,�
    Patel�s message read. �The FBI,
    through the Office of the Director,
    is in charge of all of our review
    processes, and will conduct reviews
    in accordance with FBI procedures.
    When and if further information is
    required, we will coordinate the
    responses. For now, please pause
    any responses.�

    �Consistent with Trump�s instructions,
    all federal employees will shortly
    receive an email requesting to
    understand what they got done last
    week,� Musk posted on X, which he
    owns. �Failure to respond will be
    taken as a resignation.�

    Since Patel is not a white man will Trump order that he be suspended by
    his feet in front of the White House for 5 days as punishment for
    disobedience? It will serve as a warning to all non-whites who push
    back on the President's wishes.

    Everyone will rejoice because this is what we want to see!
