US states say Trump illegally appointed Elon Musk to head DOGE

NEW YORK, Feb 13 (Reuters) - A group of state attorneys general on Thursday sued to halt Elon Musk's efforts to slash federal spending as head of President Donald Trump's new government efficiency agency, escalating the legal fight over the billionaire's influence in the White House.

The lawsuit in Washington, D.C., federal court filed by the attorneys general of New Mexico and 13 other states alleges Trump has given Musk "unchecked legal authority" without authorization from the U.S. Congress.

They are stupid. It isn't a cabinet level position requiring Senate confirmation so he can appoint/hire anyone he wants. How can people be so stupid as to believe Trump doesn't have the power to do this?

Which one? PUT UP OR STFU!

Gee, I hope NPR is a solid enough source for you. Going through life ignorant isn't a good look for you.

It was born out of a department Obama created due to failed rollout of healthcare.gov. Remember that debacle? Yeah, Trump is repurposing a department which he has the authority to do.

There is nothing you can do about it.
 
You're projecting & babbling, my dim little maga mook. Your boy Elon is down with the pseudo-nazi schtick. Don't be a wussy, own it!
All Musk is doing is auditing the books. Why does a full audit of the books scare you so much? It will be up to Trump and Congress to actually cut the spending. Musk is making no decisions. Stop being so melodramatic.

Trump has the right to put anyone he wants into any position he wants as Chief Executive. You have the right to cry about it incessantly, but have no power to do anything about it because you are ineffectual and weak

They are full of shit too. How can it be illegal for Trump to create a commission to root out waste?

Be specific on what laws were broken you unhinged mental case. :palm:

I would REALLY like the GOP/MAGA flunkies provide the historic precedent when an unvetted civilian with embedded conflict of interest was appointed by a President to have near total authority over established federal programs.

I'll wait .... I'll wait all day.
Can you say Obama? Brainless wonder.

President Donald Trump has brought the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to life—simply by renaming an existing government agency.

The U.S. Digital Service (USDS) is now known as DOGE, due to an executive order Trump signed Monday that renamed the executive branch’s technology agency. The USDS website has not been updated at time of writing. A landing page at doge.gov displays its new logo, featuring a puppy holding an American flag.
............................

USDS originally launched in 2014 during President Barack Obama’s administration and created standards to guide federal web design. It also worked to overhaul the federal government’s 26,000 websites and cut through longstanding digital bureaucracy. President Joe Biden, meanwhile, launched the U.S. Digital Corps in 2021 to recruit young tech talent to government.


 
So, you want the richest man in America to fire whoever he wants in government.
Did MSNBC tell you that, you brainless dope? Elon cannot fire anyone. That is Trumps job. Good lord you lying leftist hypocrites are the dumbest people on the planet. :palm:
 
Seriously, what's the scale pay for being a MAGA troll? I mean, the sheer stupidity of your posts in this vein would be laughable if it weren't so pathetic. And the jokers you run to in justifying the BS that surrounds Cheeto Jeezus is just sad. Case in point, from 4 years ago:

There was a time I didn't think you could be more dumb and ignorant. This post proves I was wrong. :palm:
