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.
You are doublethinking that DOGE is run by Musk. This will be rectified by Minitrue.
This thoughtcrime is doubleplusungood. Thotpol will be notified, the guilty will visit a joycamp, and then the guilty will be unpersoned.
Man, scratching his head like that? That’s a mf meme.
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.
And the alternative was what, to firebomb a wallmart? How many wallmarts you firebombed, how is the glorious revolution going?
You didn’t think very hard about my response to you.
Your response doesn’t contain anything to think about. You believe in some version of the antielectoralism and there is no version of that that is serious. You just want to feel cool and above everything, while doing exactly what the right wants you to do.
Alternatively you know exactly what you’re doing, but that’s worse, that would mean I am wasting my time trying to convince a biorobot, and I don’t want that to be a reality.
Reminder: this guy could be impeached and out of office in under 24 hours, but every single Republican is actively choosing to be a Nazi instead.
He was impeached multiple times the last time he was in office, why would doing it again magically dethrown him?
Let’s be honest we all know what needs to be done to remove them from power.
Impeachment is what the House does, and it is basically a formal accusation. It then goes to the Senate for conviction, which if successful results in removal.
Given that the Rs in both chambers are complicit in Trump’s actions, neither of his impeachments resulted in a conviction, and he is equally unlikely to be impeached under the current Congress.

Impeachment is only the first step, Orange Hamburglar has already been impeached multiple times, but the DoJ has never levied actual charges against him, so the act of impeachment itself is just a badge of dishonor until the government chooses to enforce its own laws. Asinine setup from beginning to end to protect criminals in power.
If he isn’t running DOGE then why the fuck is he in the white house with his booger eater all the damn time? And why did he get access to those documents? And why is anyone listening to anything that falls out of his incel mouth?
The ultimate game. Get into a position of power, work for free, your work is to guarantee you come out richer. Hire employees for “your” agency that is just a rebranded agency that already exists so no paperwork need be filed. Then, sound like a person of authority while “advising” said agency. Command those gullible 18-21-year-old kids to do unspeakable acts they’re too young and immature to comprehend.
Kids end up being charged with the actionable crime, free “advisor” dude parachutes out the window to collect his solidified tax breaks.
Oh, no, no, no. We’re too old for this. If any action is to happen it needs to be done to Elon. We’re not stupid. We know where these orders descend from.
Oh sure, let us actually have choice in action. I’m speaking about how the Old Laws worked in the Long Long Ago. Now that there is no law, the hilarious part is that these old codgers that made this world domination plan forgot that law doesn’t matter when it comes down to it. Program a Tesla to explode while driving, why not? Random snipers on the way to work? Why not? McDonalds burger full of cyanide, why not? I’m not suggesting any evil action here, I just find it supremely funny that these idiots made a football play on America and the one thing they missed, which is the one thing the Republinazis always miss, is that rules are for all. When rules for thee vs me tease out, shit goes south real fast. They think the very laws they are dismantling will somehow let them be safe at the same time.
The supreme hypocrisy of the under-educated is what it boils down to. America’s Golden Shower Age.
Perhaps in a more rational timeline. We’re fucked.
I hate to be so pessimistic but I’m feeling overwhelmed lately.
We’ll find out on paper, it’s the little kid musk is carrying around to humanize himself that’s listed as the director.
Bratty little shit. Elon’s kid seems like a snot, too.
Lol musk is carrying around a little standee of himself wearing a wig and mustache
You lost me at “White House claims.” Gonna need a reputable source, please.
Lol a source who’s source is what the commenter is looking for an external source for.
Source-circles are great lol.
Or you know, impeach and remove the president who lied to the population about what was going on. He’s a public servant as well.
Ok, maybe I will!
Fucking finally man, I knew I was asking the wrong people previously
PapaStevesy is the person America needs right now
I would say that usually the courts see through thinly veiled attempts to put up a fake separation between decision makers and their positions. But lately I’m not sure of anything.
“Musk leads DOGE”
“…that’s illegal.”
“No, no, no musk doesn’t lead DOGE, he advises. Someone else leads it.”
“…so you bypassed the Senate, also illegal…”
“No, no, you don’t get it. Jesus takes the wheel here. It’s God that runs it! You don’t hate God do you!?”
“Don’t look at the man behind the curtains!”
Precisely the first reference that popped into my head 🤣
Sounds like it would be more efficient if it didnt exist then?
ooh, President Husk ain’t gonna be happy to hear that sass from lil humpty
America regressing into a banana republic
