Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Space X, has gained a powerful new ally against those who want to stop his progress in cutting government spending.

Ed Martin, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, sent a letter to Musk in which he vowed to take legal action against anyone who stands in his way.

“It was good to work with the DOGE team this weekend,” the US attorney said in the letter he posted to X. “We must keep all our American government employees safe and we must protect the American peoples property. Anyone imperiling others violating our laws.

“I recognize that some of the staff at DOGE has been targeted publicly. At this time, ask that you utilize me and my staff to assist in protecting the DOGE work and the DOGE workers. Any threats, confrontations, or other actions in any way that impact their work may break numerous laws,” he said.

“Let me assure you this: We will pursue any and all legal action against anyone who impedes your work or threatens your people,” he said to Musk. “We will not act like the previous administration who looked the other way as the Antifa and BLM rioters as well as thugs with guns trashed our capital city.

“We will protect DOGE and other workers no matter what,” he assured the head of DOGE.

He also gave Musk a warning about nefarious actors in the government as he highlighted the arrest of a Chinese spy.

“One last warning for you: late last week, we indicted an economist who worked at the Fed for economic espionage for the Communist Chinese,” Martin said. “Please be very aware that there are those who are acting against our American people in every way. Refer to us any questionable conduct or details that you find or notice.”
