NEW: In a new court filing, the White House said that Elon Musk is not a DOGE employee and does not have decision-making authority in the government, fueling more confusion around Musk’s power and influence.

Where the fuck are Democratic leadership? There should be subpoenas flying to compel testimony from Musk and anyone who “works” for “doge”. Fuck this theft.
Uh oh!!
Somebody who has a clue just figured this out & is trying to CTA...which, seeing as they only have a clue & not actually know WTF they're doing, will only make things worse....🤭
Court filings are subject to perjury charges. That’s why it’s so important to look for the differences between what he says in public vs what he and his lawyers are filing in the courts.
They're attempting to give Musk cover under the presidential immunity the Supreme Court gave Trump. He's doing all this, but they're going to allege it's really Trump making all the decisions.
Theory: he's being set up to be the (potential) fall guy so whenever it happens, we'll all be relieved he can't do his awful stuff anymore so we don't worry as much about the relatively less awfull stuff that will still happen.
Why then did he and Trump do a news conference talking about DOGE and all the corruption they are finding and Musk was answering all the questions from reporters? Can we deflect some more?
Wondering aloud, because I don’t know & have quit the forum (only see screenshots), but it seems all his public tweets would contradict these assertions, the press conferences, as well as the previous public proclamations of plans (DOGE) & public posts of the Oval Office? Very suspicious…🤨
This isn't even attempts to dodge the courts because they've proven time, and again, they hold no regard for the courts and Trump was effectively told he's above the law by no convictions or jail sentences like others. This is merely PR crap to try to maintain some foot soldiers.
Then all government workers should tell the DOGE-bros to f*ck off until they can provide verifiable written proof of actual authority to conduct any of their tasks/demands. That is basic Security 101.
Now that the legal chips are starting to fall from all the DOGE misconduct and over reach. NOW Elon isn't in charge. Sure Sure let's see if he's also made out of Teflon.
Where are my clever plaintiffs attorneys at who can sue Elon and the govt for money damages? I'm thinking at least start with class actions. We've got private citizens and terminated fed employees on one hand and incompetent, politically retaliatory and racist Doge employees on the other.
Narcissists always play truth and lies and use disorganized attachment to create fear and cognitive dissonance. The disinformation creates a disconnect in your brain
Maybe it's just me, but doesn't this then paint a giant target on Elon's back vis-a-vis privacy law violations at the state level? If he's not a head of department, and he doesn't have authority, then he doesn't have permission or reason to have the data. (Flimsy as his reason before was)
So the"department" isn't really a lawful department and is run by a guy who really isn't running it? So no one is really fired right? Unless an email from a high school senior counts. Plant your feet and refuse to give them access to the buildings or computers. Call the police on the trespassers.
And, another question: is this some Half-baked attempt to pull the immunity blanket over Elon? If Trump says he can do it, you can only legally go after Trump and run into the immunity end zone?
So, who has the authority to arrest him and his brigade of hackers? State AGs? DC police? ICE? Who has the authority outside of the White House to deal with this?
What an absolute shambles.... I really feel for my American friends and colleagues at the moment.... How is this guy given so much freedom to do what he wants and behave how he wants.... He's just taking the Micky out of all of us....
What exactly is he, besides a South African immigrant that doesn’t belong in American politics / society?!!! He wasn’t elected, he faced absolutely no senate confirmation …WHAT THE FUCK IS HE?!!!
This is the standard playbook for TRUMP. HE IS JUST LYING ! AUTOCRATIC power hungry people continue to change the rules and lie without concern or consideration for the consequences. WE can obviously see that MUSK has been leading his team of kids around. HE HIRED them. Who is leading DOGE NOW??
The White House went on to say, "In fact, there is no Elon Musk. The Deep State dreamed this person up as a psyop fever dream to distract the American people from seeing how Trump is making America Great Again.
Also there have been no plane crashes and eggs prices are diwn
Everything is Great!"
Then why does he have access to private information? Then why are these mass firings happening? Then why does he say he’s found fraud and he’s going to cut trillions of dollars. Then why did he bring on his minions? There’s no confusion.
Sounds like someone is worried there could be legal ramifications and wants to create (still not at all for anyone paying attention) plausible deniablity.
However, it's really too bad that the 'other guy' does because they both have a few screws loose...definitely overextending any authority & limits while not abiding by any rule of law, like our Constitution & that we still have 3 branches of government (supposedly but hardly noticeable)✅&balances
If he's not an employee and doesn't have authority, then he is committing cybercrime under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), 18 U.S.C. 1030, by unauthorized access to our private data and the national payment system.
The Oval Office is a crime scene and no amount of gaslighting can disguise that fact. Not even carrying a little boy on his shoulders humanizes the pathologically selfish Musk and his sidekick, the dangerous Buffoon. Fight these evil schmucks and save the U.S. #Musk #BillionaireMiscreant

So whoever filed that in court perjured themselves because there is plenty of evidence provided by both Musk and Trump that he is the head of DOGE and has made decisions in its name.
The statement should conclude with the following: "Therefore he must be bodily removed from government offices. If he refuses, he must be forcefully removed by any means necessary."
Marc, you know what a shell game is. You know the game wack-a-mole. Trump and Musk are hyper-predators. Keep up the fight! You aren't as photogenic as Gregory Peck, but you are an Atticus Finch fighting for justice!
Who forced SSA head to step down? Musk has not “authority”? Was some 25 yr old dweeb pressuring her to give him access to data (probably violating the Privacy Act of 1974)?
Oh, so the 19-25 year old programmers are now calling the shots? They do seem to be sending out the erroneous terminations. Perhaps they should all be stopped.
What kind of employee is he? They need to lock it in as each kind has different ethical obligations . SGE work for 130 days or less , then there are the rest
None of this is confusing: they're purposely muddying the waters, passing the hot potato, and not playing by the rules/precedent. They'll claim they have full authority even when they actually don't.
lEon skuM wouldn't hold back even if the law says he can't discriminate against black people.
I am not sure why a government employee might want this excerpt from a vintage CIA manual on slowing and confusing big bureaucracies. https://www.dropbox.com/t/alfQpOZbBb2GdVVA
The cognitive dissonance of the elected officials is a dereliction of duty and conspiracy with domestic terrorism. Treason. So that’s half the congress and senate and 2/3 of SCOTUS. All should be removed and charged with crimes and detained pending prosecution.
If the doesn't have an official role, he doesn't have federal protection for violating state crimes. State AGs need to sign an arrest warrant. One for each state for crimes against state citizens.
Ask him detailed questions under oath! Don’t allow him time to get a script!
This thing knows nothing about what’s going on.. he only shows up on tv, sits by quietly or mutters stupid shit.
.
The stupid news media needs to ask harder questions and hard follow ups.
Fourth, at the suggestion of Elon Musk, I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms.
Elon has agreed to head that task force.
Its occupiers are the ENEMY of the US citizens, a gang of HOSTILE, DANGEROUS FOREIGN AGENTS looting & robbing everyone, destroying everything & leaving USA (& all) in chaotic ruins.

Look at them and I dare you say they look normal.
they should subpoena all correspondence btwn Musk, Doge, and Trump.
All decision-making authority stripped from Elon Musk as he is dismissed from DODGE.
Fits the facts.
It’s a bullshit lie.
the appointment of felon and creation is doge may be legal, but their actions 100% are not.
COVID like shutdowns, scheduled across the nation.
The Billionaires will hear you. They freaked out during the COVID shutdown, show them WHO has the power over the money!
They made their money off the backs of the people who control the dollar in their pockets.
Just sayin'
We need Republicans to wake up and stop this nonsense.
People are being harmed by his actions.
Also there have been no plane crashes and eggs prices are diwn
Everything is Great!"
Republican budget will add $25 trillion to our national debt.
#No-Billionaire-Left-Behind
Let's ask Elon and his pet Felon why no cuts or firings at the Pentagon?

Hacking US computer systems is a federal offense.

Simple.
lEon skuM wouldn't hold back even if the law says he can't discriminate against black people.
Every department and person he fired should walk back in and continue on.
Do not be fooled by the internet troll!
And why TF are we paying him?
How are the MAGATs justifying this in their brains? I need their level of cognitive dissonance.
I wouldn't give him access to a 📺 converter, let alone sensitive personal data.
🤣😜🤣

That's OK than..
Carry on..
