Kash Patel asks FBI staff to ignore Musk’s ‘justify-your-job’ email

Elon Musk, in his role as ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ czar, demanded federal employees justify their jobs weekly via email. The FBI countered, advising staff to ignore the request. President Trump supported Musk’s move. The directive caused confusion among agencies, with some departments advising employees to await official guidance. Musk remains undeterred.
