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.
I’ve never had faith in politics, this isn’t helping.
That’s what this ghouls want, it’s their wholr purpose and their whole deal. If you don’t have political institutions to protect you, they can eat you whole. And the best way to destroy political institutions is to errode public support for them.
No, I’ve never had faith in politics… this whole mess just convinces me I’ve been right not to.
This mess is here in big part because you and your fellow children never had faith in politics, and people who do have this faith decided for you.
You had a chance to prevent it, multiple chances if you’re slightly older, but you threw it away, multiple times.
I believe we’re in this mess because you did choose to have faith in politics… in fallible, corruptible people.
