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.
Best we will get is a superficial ruling that says he can’t do it while he continues to do it and there will be absolutely zero consequences nor will all of the people who he fucked receive any form of justice.
Depends on how far Judge Tanya Chutkan is willing to go see her order(s) enforced. She famously has no love for Trump and his law breaking. Even so any ruling negative to Trump will probably get appealed to the Supremely Corrupt Court and get overturned.
It’s actually not very fun watching a country fall to fascism.
Well the key here would be to get a state to press the charges based on her ruling and then put out a warrant for Musks arrest, that way Trump can’t pardon the arrest nor can Musk freely travel the country as extradition laws would take hold.
