Summary
The White House now claims Elon Musk is not leading DOGE, despite Trump previously stating Musk was in charge of the task force cutting $2 trillion in federal spending.
A court filing says Musk is only a senior adviser without formal decision-making authority. However, Musk’s tweets and Trump’s remarks suggest he has been directing DOGE’s activities.
The revelation raises legal concerns, as lawsuits argue DOGE violates the Appointments Clause by bypassing Senate confirmation.
A federal judge is set to rule on an emergency motion against Musk’s involvement.
Billionaires don’t become billionaires by being good people, but they would respond to that idea with some horse crap about the American Dream™
And some millionaires. Musk and trump now have all the info on them to blackmail with. He’s a mob boss in real estate and casinos, of course he’s going to blackmail them.
