It's really getting into Kafkaesque absurdity when POTUS and the White House and Musk himself are all running around saying Musk runs DOGE, which in fact he obviously does, and then DOJ comes into court and says 'no actually he doesn't and also we don't know who really does but definitely not him.' - ThreadSky

It's really getting into Kafkaesque absurdity when POTUS and the White House and Musk himself are all running around saying Musk runs DOGE, which in fact he obviously does, and then DOJ comes into court and says 'no actually he doesn't and also we don't know who really does but definitely not him.'

Some might even call it "contemptuous."

Did little Damian ever get that booger out of there?

Who was that guy wearing a cap? Where did that child come from?

oh, those speech acts were just perlocutionary. It takes an *illocutionary* utterance to actually make him the head of DOGE

Silver lining to mushroom cloud: we can now say Kafkaesque without the usual throat-clearing.

somebody should get a timeline up of musk’s warning tweets relating to agencies and firings, reports of doge’s access to those agencies, and reports of firings

there might be some AMAZING coincidences of timing

Do we really need to bring Kafka into this? I’m sure he was a nice fellow and all. But DOJ is simply lying to the court. There’s nothing absurdly deep about that.

I think Judge Chutkan would call it “duplicitous” or even “sanctionable” rather than “absurdity”

It's all just part of their general chaos and obfuscation intended to keep their "enemy" off our toes and unable to fight back against their wanton destruction of OUR democracy.

It could get even more absurd...
