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.
Didn’t he already decided for himself to leave twitter? I seem to vaguely remember some post about it a while ago. Not that he is wrong though.
It would make more sense that king wouldn’t have stayed on Twitter this long. I also liked the story, so here we are.
