Summary

Confusion surrounds the leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a Trump-era entity with increasing federal influence.

Despite Trump’s public claims that Elon Musk leads DOGE, a White House affidavit claims that Musk is only a senior adviser with no formal decision-making power.

A federal judge ruled DOGE is an “agency” despite the administration avoiding the label, raising transparency concerns.

Court proceedings have revealed no clear leader, leaving even federal lawyers uncertain about who truly runs DOGE.

    Probably trying to indemnify him from legal responsibility on the off chance that the ridiculously corrupt SCOTUS majority isn’t ready to roll over COMPLETELY yet.

      Oh no worries there. So long as they threaten Roberts with enough, it’ll swing.
