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.
Fun fact theres some evidence that the reason that Soissons was able to last so long while most of the other Roman holdouts collapsed is because they were able to avoid overt levels of favoritism under the law. Mind you this is Roman frontier law so it just meant folks got crucified equally.
