White House claims Elon Musk isn’t running DOGE after all
White House claims Elon Musk isn’t running DOGE after all
The filing appeared to contradict President Trump’s own words.
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.

Tell all of your wealthy friends that Musk/Trump has all of their social security, address, work history, salaray history, etc. in their hands, right now.
Done. Whew, that took NaN time out of my day!
Yeah, I live in Seattle. You can't throw a rock without hitting one. I sometimes forget what a bubble it is.
The current argument is "you give your SSN, address, salary etc to the bank, your employer, the DMV, etc. They all want something from you. The world's richest man doesn't need your money, so why are you afraid of giving him all your information?"
It's basically "if you've done nothing wrong you've got nothing to hide" but with your identity and life savings and social security.
Billionaires don't become billionaires by being good people, but they would respond to that idea with some horse crap about the American Dream™

And some millionaires. Musk and trump now have all the info on them to blackmail with. He's a mob boss in real estate and casinos, of course he's going to blackmail them.
Wealthy friends lol
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"
