Trump's First Reaction Amid Kash Patel Vs Elon Musk Fight Over DOGE Email Order| USA| FBI

During Donald Trump’s first cabinet meeting, Elon Musk defended his controversial email order to federal workers, calling it a “pulse check review” rather than a performance review. His remarks, which included a joke about some employees not being "alive," sparked laughter among Trump’s cabinet. This comes days after a clash with FBI Director Kash Patel, who opposed Musk’s federal workforce reduction plan. Patel instructed FBI staff not to respond, causing confusion across government agencies.
