Elon Musk’s DOGE Immediately Sued After Trump Inauguration

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING A group of organizations immediately sued the Trump administration as the president was inaugurated on Monday, arguing that its new “Department of Government Efficiency” violates federal transparency law. Its stated aim is to help Trump enact massive cuts to government spending and make the federal bureaucracy “more efficient.” Despite its name, DOGE is not a real government department and isn’t subject to the same oversight and accountability as normal federal agencies. Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images/Bloomberg via Getty Images Musk, who poured more than $250 million of his fortune into helping elect Trump, could also recommend cuts at the federal agencies that regulate his businesses. Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen, said in a statement that DOGE’s advice appears tilted toward the “biased and extremist views of the libertarian billionaire class.” The work of DOGE is a particular concern for unions like the AFGE, which represents 750,000 workers across federal agencies.
