Trump unleashes legal chaos for Elon Musk’s DOGE in speech to Congress
Donald Trump’s Freudian slip is about to cost him—and Elon.
Summary
Trump’s speech to Congress may have deepened legal troubles for Elon Musk and DOGE by publicly stating Musk runs the agency, contradicting White House claims that Amy Gleason is in charge.
The administration previously argued Musk, officially a “senior adviser,” has no formal authority over DOGE to shield it from lawsuits.
Judge Theodore Chuang already questioned this discrepancy, calling it “highly suspicious.”
Trump’s statement could trigger further legal scrutiny into Musk’s role in dismantling federal agencies and mass firings, undermining the White House’s defense against ongoing litigation.
