Elon Musk’s mandated email demanding federal employees detail what they accomplished last week was sent to some judiciary staff even though the executive branch has no authority over them.

After the billionaire said that failure to respond “will be taken as a resignation,” which he has since walked back following uproar, it has emerged that some judges were among those who received the email from the Office of Personnel Management.

Spokespeople from federal courts in Manhattan, Texas and Illinois have told media outlets that some judiciary employees received the email Saturday but their staff were advised to ignore it.

Julie Hodek, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois spokesperson, told NBC News that the court's chief judge and clerk “communicated with the staff that as we are judiciary employees, our policies and procedures are governed by the Judicial Conference of the United States and our local court HR handbooks.”

1. Something to study in this case would be "who got them" and then "why them, specifically"?

Could be the people that got them were those who'd previously worked for executive branch, in which case still lame but explainable. OTOH, could be 'people who've donated to ActBlue, ever' in which case of course it becomes very alarming.

2. They should reply with their intended accomplishments - Eloon in prison, stripped of his wealth.
