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.
The boomers on Facebook are acknowledging this and giving excuses already.
“He’s rich so he doesn’t need to steal your money.”
“He needs this to audit the IRS. He doesn’t care about your information”
“If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.”
“All your information is already out there from other government leaks so this doesn’t make any difference”
