    New FBI chief Kash Patel defied Elon Musk's mass email
    to federal workers as he ordered agents to ignore DOGE's
    latest efficiency crackdown.

    Patel instructed agents at the bureau to disregard an email
    Musk sent to workers earlier on Saturday, titled: 'What
    did you do last week?'

    Musk's email ordered workers to reply to the message with
    five bullets detailing all of their accomplishments at work
    in the past week and to cc in their manager.

    Not long after, Patel overruled Musk's memo with his own
    message, making it clear that the FBI '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,' he wrote.

    Patel's interference is one of his first moves as the
    new head of the FBI, offering a glimpse at potential
    rifts within the MAGA world as Musk continues tearing
    apart the federal government.

    When he sent the original email earlier Saturday, Musk
    also took to his X platform to threaten any employees
    that do not reply to him with termination.

    .. . .

    Partisan as it's become, a non-functional FBI is
    a gift to Putin, Xi and a host of terrorists.

    DOGE may find a lot of pointless functionaries
    there, but in THIS case the culling needs to be
    CAREFUL, more nuanced. Look before you leap.

    I think Musk and Patel can work out a fair
    compromise. MAGA yes, but SMARTLY where needed.


    It'll be interesting once the battles between these two ramps up. I read he already told all of his employees not to answer the stupid email.
