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.
Every reporter who asks trump a question should follow it up with “and what does Elon musk think about that?”
“Did Elon already approve this, or are you still waiting for him to decide?”
Gotta push Donnie’s buttons harder.
