Kash Patel has clarified that for FBI employees and it is a step in the right direction.
When I read the Affordable Care Act when it was a bill, reading definitions was a good way to bring about the understanding of government vs. the private sector of the USA. So, let’s clarify a few things. This is official government policy.

This is the area of law that allows Trump to pretend there is no Quid Pro Quo. It is called “special government employee.” I should clarify now that I believe what is transpiring with Musk is pure corruption and racketeering. That said, there is no one advising Trump to knock it off so there is a mess in the executive branch which pretty much negates its power.
Why?
There is so much abuse of power in a criminal tone there is lawsuit after lawsuit to end the law breaking. So, what should be a smooth transition of power is now a platform for criminality. There is so much doubt about this power playing the Executive Branch is without structure or definition. That does not work well for good outcomes for the country so there are many checks and balances occurring.
But, to return to definitions, there is a limit on the “special government employee” and that is 130 days.
Let’s clarify a few other parts of this. Let’s say what Musk and the “Department of Government Elimination,” is not. It is not an officer. It is an employee. It is employed by the executive branch and not the legislature. It is not appointed. Appointments require Senate approval. Trump is retaining Musk without a retainer so that is very sketchy in translation. It is designated, but, to what exactly, is not at all well defined. Because it’s undefined within a government structure it really remains too fluid to be taken seriously. Granted government employees are concerned.
So, Musk and his elimination task force is primarily an invasive employee without real understanding of ANYTHING defined as part of the Executive Branch. To that, there have been enormous errors made because of this fear of blanket authority.
The employment of Musk and his elimination task force (there is absolutely no efficiency) started November 6, 2024 while he was in route to the Treasury Department and before inauguration. Why November 6? Trump PROMISED his authority would begin the day after the election and long before inauguration. Therefore, Musk and his elimination task force has been assaulting the sovereignty of the USA for 122 days. Musk and DoGE have one week left and his special employment is over. Pay or no pay. It is the law. Trump is allowed employees before inauguration.
Now. There is no way EFFECTIVE determination of continued employment to ensure the sovereignty of the USA can be made in one week.
Employees of the federal government must realize their importance, the care in which their employment was started, and how populous elected officials can wreak havoc on important people that do all the heavy lifting of vital agencies. Each employee must examine their role in national security and determine their own responsibilities in protecting that. Any employee that determines they are part of a vital link to the USA national defense cannot in good conscience report their activities to people that have never achieved security clearance for their demands. Additionally, any employee terminated for no valid reason and holds dear the national security of the USA has a valid argument in any court of law OR agency such as unemployment agencies.
Please consider this last point. Why would special employees to the president provide ultimatums such as this without recognizing how the national security of the USA could be COMPROMISED and/or destabilized by such random demands of power? Why? It has no answer that is beneficial to anyone.
Standing up to this level of abuse of power is being a true patriot. Without a doubt in my mind.
