Summary
Elon Musk’s email demanding federal employees report their weekly work to him was mistakenly sent to judiciary staff, despite the courts being independent of the executive branch.
Judges and judicial employees received the directive but were advised to ignore it. Legal experts criticized the move as a “fundamental failure” to understand separation of powers.
Amid backlash, Musk later called the email “a test.”
The mistake has added to ongoing litigation, with lawsuits arguing Musk’s mandate violated the law and judicial independence.
…we gotta have a civics lesson on the three branches of government now?!?
Elmo is an illegal immigrant. Of course, he doesn’t understand civics or separation of powers.
Well, if Elon doesn’t know what he is doing, he should ask, or RESIGN. I cannot take having a person working in our Gov. who is not 100% qualified…it’s inefficient…I should have DOGE investigate his punk ass…
Haven’t you heard? Elon doesn’t work for the government. Apparently there is no administrator for DOGE, so don’t go trying to hold him accountable or anything.
Don’t they explain this shit to you when you become a citizen?
He never did. He overstayed his visa and became a parasite of the working class.
Seems like that should be on the test.
Why are their email systems all linked?
Well, I wonder if they aren’t linked so much as that Elon just happens to know where to look for Gov. email addresses in certain departments or offices.
But that’s just speculation.
Nope. Musk forced his criminal minions into the central system that allows for broadcasting to all federal employees and since they are all incompetent children led by an arrogant moron they didn’t filter down to executive branch employees.
Didn’t you get the memo? There is only one big, swinging trunk, called the Unitary Executive. The other branches are twigs.
That doesn’t seem very productive.
“MiStAkEnLy”
I don’t normally pick on people’s grammar, but I’m a little surprised that the Independent’s headline says “which” and not “whom.”
Well spotted. Perhaps a very fast last minute edit before posting changing “staff” to “employees”?
Dang mr. two steps ahead over here
Or… Ms. Mr. Ability to trace back from one step ahead without knowing where the first step came from, OK gotta workshop that one
No, they just haven’t started defunding judicial stuff yet. If they can access the judicial funds, courts that get in the way can expect to lose funding like everyone else.
Is that what your momma called you?
