Summary

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will reportedly face a lawsuit from National Security Counselors shortly after Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The lawsuit alleges DOGE violates the 1972 Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), which mandates transparency, balanced representation, public access, and proper documentation for White House advisory committees.

DOGE, aimed at cutting $2 trillion in federal spending, has not followed these requirements.

Critics have called Musk’s budget-cutting goals unrealistic, as they would likely impact protected programs like Social Security and Medicare, which Trump has vowed to preserve.

    No mention of Vivek Ramaswamy?

    Don’t forget the oxymoronic Department of Government “Efficiency” has two heads… 😂

      He already announced he’s leaving DOGE to go run for Governor of Ohio.

        Is he going to co-govern Ohio too? 🤣

        Holy shit. Ohio is around 100% white racist assholes, I don’t think they’ll embrace Vivek there.

      …and it’s also entirely redundant. That function is already done by a real government agency, not the bullshit broligarchy project run by Elon (and maybe Vivek but I saw a rumor he may quit).
