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.
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
