Kash Patel overrules Elon Musk as new FBI boss throws down gauntlet to DOGE
Daily Mail ^ | 2-23-25 | Will Potter

Posted on 02/22/2025 10:35:53 PM PST by Strict9

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

Likely that this is not a dispute but something completely approved and there media is just looking for a wedge. Patel is all the enforcement FBI needs. Unity of command is a very basic principle.
But nice try…

Musk and Patel will find a fair compromise. Wait and see.

This headline: "Kash Patel overrules Elon Musk as new FBI boss throws down gauntlet to DOGE," seems like an overblown dramatics to attack Musk. The process by DOGE to survey the members of the FBI, was planned before Patel was confirmed; when it was doubtful he would be confirmed. It was an example of having all your bases covered.

“I am with Patel on this one.”

Same here. Patel has proven himself to be an experienced government leader, statesman, and ADVISOR. This is not his first rodeo and deserves full respect for his command of the situation without anyone stepping on his toes or getting in his way.

Musk is just a bookkeeper and auditor with no personal authority. Bookkeepers just do not have the authority or experience to tell CEOs how to run their company...

Tell you what... This Musk is a god cult is interesting to watch. It is like a bunch of teenagers screaming at the backdoor of a boy band concert. Things will change as soon as he performs a terrible unpopular song... And he will, they always do.

Musk is a Grifter, extroidinairre. Fanatical,at that. I believe Trump is testing if he has really been Red-Pilled. His fantasy will eventually, reveal the truth.

No it doesn’t.

It sounds like the person in charge of those people doesn’t want thenm answering to Musk.

And he’s right.

FBI agents shouldn’t be explaining to what is basically an audtior what it is that they do.

Patel will figure it out and decide.

Unless there are thousands of firings within the next little while from The FBI, Kash should instantly become suspect. His respect for The FBI is already cause for concern. There is nothing sacred about any government agency. DOGE’s slash and burn approach is the right one.

It’s called poking the stick... I’m sure many won’t get the email since they’re not working anyway, others may reply but from an IP address outside of their work address etc. some will respond.

They’ll be no firings for not answering anyway.

“On Saturday, February 22, some of you may have heard about or received a message from OPM an email regarding an action to reply with a weekly activity report (WAR). Awaiting further guidance from DOD. Do not respond until we send further information.”

Re: 47 - agreed.

It’s doubtful that DOGE will be getting active to information regarding active investigations, confidential informants, classified networks for ICBM command and control, etc.

There are limits, and a Judge issued a Preliminary Injunction requiring DOGE staffers to get the same training on PII, computer security, etc that other Federal employees of their level would be required to get. See https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.636609/gov.uscourts.nysd.636609.76.0_2.pdf

Patel prevails in this.

It’s from the daily mail. They’ll frame it like there’s conflicts. I’m sure there is none.

IIRC, there was post here a couple days ago about this mass email being sent, but that some jobs were exempt from reporting.

So they tried but couldnt stir up crap between Elon and President Trump. Now they will try with Kash and Elon. Does Doge scare them? Does Kash scare them?

Which one are they more afraid of?

Kash has been MAGA since the escalator ride. Musk has been MAGA for about an hour and a half. Musk will be lucky if he doesn’t annoy Kash to the point that Musk finds himself under investigation.
