Does it matter? Apparently the email was official. Also, Musk is an SGE and he gets a level of authority with that designation.

Is it? You sound confident but do you have a source?
- Volundr 2y ago> Does it matter? Yes it does. Chain of command isn't a thing that just exists in Trumps head. He has to actually put people in a position to give instructions. How is a random government employee supposed to know this is an "official email" not a phish without even knowing who it's from? How do they know what information they are authorized to share? Just because something isn't classified doesn't mean it can be shared with anyone. > Also, Musk is an SGE and he gets a level of authority with that designation. Per your article SGEs can be granted the authority of normal employees. They don't magically get authority over the entire federal government. Court filings by the administration say he hasn't been granted any and serves only as an advisor. https://www.reuters.com/legal/white-house-says-musk-is-not-doge-employee-has-no-authority-make-decisions-2025-02-18/ https://www.reuters.com/legal/white-house-says-musk-is-not-d... > Is it?
