While the Whitehouse claims Elon isn't technically in charge of DOGE he is practically in charge. And he still talks like he is.

While the Whitehouse claims Elon isn't technically in charge of DOGE he is practically in charge. And he still talks like he is.
- duxup 2y agoI always wonder how this works in the courts, at some point it becomes absurd to by into "Well they said he is just a white house employee, like the chef ..." meanwhile every public statement, even Trump outright saying he runs DODGE in plain English is out there. These aren't misstatements, it's very clear in their own words what these people's roles are and it's in direct conflict with their legal arguments.
- jarsin 2y agoLuckily we have precedent set by our former prez, Slick Willy. "Well now that depends on what the definition of the word is [employee] is."
- duxup 2y agoI'll take a silly civil trial any day over what is going on now.
- Zigurd 2y agoSupposedly that's what judges are for. Concepts like beneficial ownership prevent lawyers from making nonsense arguments. Flooding the zone may work on the press and public, but courts are supposed to cut through the crap.
