Pentagon Tells Staff to Disregard Elon Musk's Demand

The Department of Defense posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday, telling Pentagon staff to disregard an email from billionaire Elon Musk that asked government employees to document in an email what they'd done in the last week.

The Pentagon is now led by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who was appointed by Trump and confirmed by the Senate in late January. Sunday's message suggests the Trump appointee is not fully on board with Musk's efforts. Trump's FBI director Kash Patel previously sent a similar message to his staff telling them not to respond to Musk's email.
