Patel -vs- Musk ... New FBI Director Wants a Little DOGE Slack

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.

To a degree, Musk has become over-enthused - acts
like one of those old time conquerors or religious
zealots holding a 30 second 'trial' of the old order
guys before gleefully throwing them into the pit.

'Therefore, you will... NARFTLE THE GARTHOK!'

On the flip, the USG *has* gotten totally out of hand,
a black hole for our money, far more self-serving than
a servant of the people. It'll take fairly aggressive
action to bust-up that giant problem, esp at first.

Somewhere, let's hope a sane balance is found. Patel
CAN give Musk a little push-back, remind him that
he's not a god.
