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.

    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.

        Seems like that should be on the test.
