In case you are questioning who’s the pinnacle of the Division of Authorities Effectivity, don’t fear; all of us are as a result of the Trump administration retains taking part in a shell sport with shadow president Elon Musk’s official function.
See, earlier than the president took workplace, he introduced that the South African immigrant, was going to move up the created division with one other Trump sycophant, Vivek Ramaswamy, however that didn’t final lengthy because the biotech buffoon bowed out claiming that he was going to run for Ohio governor as an alternative.
A minimum of that was the corporate line, as everyone knows that Musk doesn’t play properly with others. Anyway, Musk spent all of his time taking to Twitter to say he would discover every kind of wasteful spending as if he had been some modern-day Robinhood — besides this Robinhood finds waste the place there’s none and simply cuts it out anyway.
Principally, Musk went to the federal authorities with a hatchet and started slicing jobs with out even realizing what they do. However that didn’t cease him and Trump touting the cuts as successful. Think about somebody coming to you and saying that they saved $1500 a month by not paying the payments to their house. If you inform them, “You gained’t have gasoline, cable or electrical for those who don’t pay for these providers,” they reply: “Yeah, however I saved $1500!”
That’s DOGE.

And since Elon Musk has by no means been vetted and has by no means needed to sit earlier than a Congressional committee to clarify his goal and potential conflicts of pursuits -– contemplating he owns a number of corporations and has contracts with the federal government -– legal professionals filed swimsuit in opposition to the legality of DOGE.
The White Home claimed that Musk was not the pinnacle of DOGE, and Amy Gleason was the Appearing Administrator. The issue is that the White Home can’t cease contradicting themselves. Throughout his pretend State of the Union deal with (no, significantly it wasn’t a SOTU deal with it was only a gathering of elected officers that regarded quite a bit just like the SOTU deal with), a proud Trump turned to Musk and exclaimed: “I’ve created the brand-new Division of Authorities Effectivity, DOGE. Maybe you’ve heard of it. Maybe. Which is headed by Elon Musk, who’s within the gallery tonight.”
This is able to be the half in Menace II Society the place Invoice Duke’s character turns to the boy he is aware of is mendacity and says, “You realize you carried out f**ked up.”
“Kelly B. McClanahan, a lawyer in a case that facilities on DOGE’s legality and operations…who represents events suing DOGE, entered a brand new court docket submitting shortly after the comment highlighting it as ‘new proof,’ emphasizing that Trump had affirmed that Musk was heading DOGE,” NBC Information reviews.
Within the swimsuit seen by NBC Information, “McClanahan wrote that Trump’s remark conclusively demonstrates that expedited discovery is urgently wanted to determine the character of the Division of Authorities Effectivity and its relationship to america DOGE Service, of which Amy Gleason is the Appearing Administrator.”
ANGELA WEISS
As with most issues associated to the Trump White Home, it’s all purposefully obscure and noncommittal.
First, Musk was the pinnacle of DOGE and now he’s not till he’s once more. Joshua Fisher, the director of the Workplace of Administration, wrote in February that Musk is a “senior advisor” to Trump and “has no better authority than different senior White Home advisers,” NBC reviews.
“Mr. Musk is an worker within the White Home workplace,” added Fisher. “He isn’t an worker of the U.S. DOGE Service or U.S. DOGE Service Momentary Group. Mr. Musk will not be the U.S. DOGE Service Administrator.”
I’ve seen this film earlier than, and one thing tells me this isn’t going to finish properly for Trump’s White Home and the fictional division that’s completely run by the draconian South African, allegedly.
