What should we make of trump's spineless Cabinet telling their departments to ignore Elon's edict while applauding his presence?

Co-president Elon Musk sends an official government email and supplemental instructions on Twitter (X) to federal employees to outline what they did last week. Cabinet officials tell their employees to ignore the Twitter (X) instructions and not reply to the email. When asked what they think about Elon to his face, they applaud his presence and laugh at his stilted speech in servitude.

you saw the movie where 'you can't say no to an ape'... to survive in this kind of government you agree in their face and then do what you please behind their back.

Because Elon Musk explained the reason behind why he sent the emails, and once he did that, it made sense as to the reason.
