Summary
A lawsuit filed within minutes of Donald Trump’s swearing-in challenges the legality of Elon Musk’s “department of government efficiency” (Doge), alleging it violates federal transparency rules.
The suit claims Doge functions as a federal advisory committee but lacks balanced representation, public meeting access, and record-keeping.
Doge, which reportedly operates from SpaceX offices and uses encrypted communication, aims to streamline government by cutting programs and jobs.
Critics argue the project is shrouded in secrecy, while supporters label it a branding exercise for Trump’s government reform efforts.
I’m much more comfortable wasting government money at this time rather than letting them enact what they actually plan for. I support my tax dollars going to this right now.
