Has anybody filed for an injunction of any kind? There is no legal authority for Musk to be in Treasury cutting off payments! At best he's on an advisory committee.
If fed workers had a court order I think they would be more likely to stand up to him. Now they're being thrown to the wolves.

So they ordered Musk to send them
What happens if he doesn’t? Is he going to get arrested? No, he’d just get pardoned
I genuinely don’t see a way to combat this
The employees would comply with the court order or leak that they've been told to break the law.
“Employees would comply or leak” - which employees would comply that wouldn’t be forced into admin leave or fired immediately? What would a leak do?
But you don't know what will happen. Full stop.
Check out case litigation records on PACER & https://justsecurity.org.
So the "improperly formed committee" suit is slow but the illegal OPM memo ($ freeze) case already has a TRO against a dozen federal agencies.
A few protests are planned about MANY other issues but nothing about Musk's takeover yet. It'd be best to combine them all.
So what are you doing to "move forward?" You planning to take on the US Military? Convince everyone to stay home from work a few days? Stop shopping at Amazon? Or just doom on the internet some more.
It's all so bizarre and there isn't a coordinated response other than blue state AGs TRO. Not great news.
