The top federal prosecutor in Washington, DC, has reached out to Elon Musk, urging him to report any threats against staff from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for investigation. In a letter posted online by interim US attorney for DC Ed Martin, it was stated that some DOGE staff members have been publicly targeted for their work, although the specifics of these threats were not disclosed.
The letter emphasized the importance of protecting the DOGE workers and their work, stating that any threats or actions that hinder their work could potentially violate multiple laws. The US attorney's office assured Musk that they would take legal action against anyone who interferes with the DOGE staff or poses threats to them.
Furthermore, the letter highlighted the commitment to upholding the law and protecting government workers, contrasting it with the previous administration's approach to handling civil unrest. The US attorney's office expressed a firm stance against any form of obstruction or threat towards DOGE and its employees.
Despite tagging the wrong Elon on social media, Musk acknowledged the receipt of the letter in a response to Martin's post, indicating his awareness of the situation and willingness to cooperate.
