Gee I wonder why it was necessary for the President to tell his [checks notes] Senate-confirmed cabinet heads that they, not Elon Musk, are in charge of the federal departments that they were selected to run

Trump is not saying Musk is responsible for the thousands of fired federal workers, nor is Musk responsible for the sure-to-happen decrease in satisfaction with federal services by those in need, like cancer patients and disaster victims.
No, I believe Trump wants co-conspirators so that he can say that it was their fault
Trump is known to never accept responsibility, he wants to be able to say "The Cabinet did it" because Trump is counting on Musk to make him a real billionaire with a share in the global X-Money system they plan
And M*sk is afraid for his life. Wearing Kevlar? He doesn't want to take the blame. He'll still advise Herr M*ller who will still advise the others. Definitely for optics.
No, this is so that the Cabinet members, who DO have some level of legal authority over hiring/firing the people who work for them and allocating money with in their departments,
can claim at any lawsuits that anybody fired on Elon's non-legal orders was actually fired by THEIR authority.
An attempt to have all legal responsibility indicators pointing 3 ways at once
DOGE may have a leader, which leader the White House refuses to identify, but identifies variously as one of two individuals or distributed amongst the Cabinet who can be superseded by someone identified as not the leader
More likely the Administration lawyers have told him they’re having problems maintaining the fiction in legal proceedings that Elon Musk is not in charge of DOGE or anything.
This is just a failboat ass-covering by Hair ShitFuror FatFuck after repeatedly telling the country Tuesday that Ketamine CuntFuror Sissy Space-X runs DOGE contrary to what his attorneys said under oath to a federal judge.
They didn’t know. Puppets only move when the Puppet Master pulls their strings. Otherwise, they would have asked if they could put their departments back together and make a proper review.
The honeymoon is showing signs of wear. Guess both want to be head of the household. Trump probably can't get rid of Musk now as Musk knows all the secrets (like how he rigged the voting machine turnouts!). When you bed down with the devil you can expect to get burned!
Unclear if they are responsible for determining who and what are to be cut, or if they are only doing the cutting itself. If they are responsible for the who and what, that may slow things down a bit, bcuz they’ve seen the outrage from the public, and they don’t want blood on their hands.
Billionaires never pulled themselves up by their bootstraps, they are just lucky sociopaths born into privilege. They belong far, far away from the public sector government both national and local.
The Fascist Felon is doing this because the stock market is performing horribly and his poll numbers have significantly decreased. He also doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
So what about the last 45 days of unconstitutionality where Musk has been unilaterally making staffing and policy decisions for them? And how DOGE is still unconstitutional today as is Musk's unofficial/official Administrating of it?
Elon Musk certainly thinks he's got the power to fire federal workers - or tell them to resign ...
It seems pretty clear Putin-owned Trump & his Putin-owned Republicans are working hard now to protect Putin's favorite fascist Elon Musk & his companies from liability/lawsuits/court actions.

Musk's endgame: Turn the U.S. Treasury into his piggybank so American taxpayers will 100% fund SpaceX's Mars pursuit.
So, is this just so he can more credibly claim Musk is purely an advisor and not subject to Freedom Of Information requests and similar transparency laws?
Our gov't is meant to "promote the general welfare," a phrase so valued by the Framers they used it twice in our Constitution. Right-wingers call that socialism, but "originalists" ought to give force to those words, true? Improve, promote, protect & solve social & economic problems. We the People.
Yeah, they're in charge.
However, if they choose to not follow Musk's "recommendations" they won't be in charge very long.
These cabinet chiefs are just the front men now. Musk is running every department.
Elon is in charge.
Amy Gleason is in charge.
No!!!
Cabinet heads are in charge.
They are to call Elon and ask him what they should do, but if there’s fallout from doing it, they get the blame. Not Elon and definitely not me.
Got it?
It’s cute that he thinks this meeting will undo all the times he said Musk was in charge - and Musk acted like he is in charge (and will continue to act that way). This little meeting won’t change the lawsuits. Subpoena time!! Let’s get everyone under oath in state courts and sort it out!
It may look good on paper but it means little because they all know Trump is King now and Musk is his Hand. So if Musk suggests something, they will do it.
Glad he cleared that up. I'm sure they aren't correctly assessing that they should really, really try to do the things he suggests. Of their own volition of course!
“We broke it, you bought it. Have fun with the lawsuits.”
As he dusts off his hands and saunters away merrily, confident that he has once again successfully fobbed off responsibility for his own misdoings onto someone else.

At the end of this statement I will do a big wink to tell you the statement is not true, is that clear everyone? Everyone on the same page with me here? WAIT ARE YOU WRITING THIS IN THE MINUTES ANDY WHAT DID I TELL YOU
AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO WHAT HE SAYS YOU SHOULD DO BECAUSE IT’S UP TO YOU TO DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO BUT IF YOU DON’T DO WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO IT ANYWAY
I believe he said this as cover to placate his detractors. Musk is not going anywhere and even though Trump says his role is advisory, he will tell the cabinet to follow his instructions.
They got in, stole all our data, coded some backdoor, caused enough of a kerfuffle that half of the people who were fired rehired fired won’t come back if they were begged to by their managers. It’s all to confuse. Please tell me Fort Knox has been guarded this whole time. They want to “count” it
Now they are afraid of the courts shutting them down. If they lie and say the dept heads are making the decision courts will rule for them even though the wink wink nod nod is that they must obey what musk recommends.
As I keep saying: there are tons of PUBLIC LAWS (LAWS PASSED BY CONGRESS) pertaining to functioning of Executive Branch, its officers & employees, depts, & agencies, including on reorgs, RIFs, etc. They’re *supposed* to prevent King wannabes from destroying our gov’t. Anyone can look them up online!
*oh and they’re also all (DOGE, Musk, Trump, his Cabinet, & every other political appointee in every agency & dept) unethical, ignorant, unqualified, boot-licking dipshits
After musk took his chainsaw to their agencies, now they are told to cut more. And if they don't make musk happy with more cuts, he will do the cutting. Musk is still ruining the government that serves the people.
Why be concerned or have this conversation about Elon? The real culprits are the women who want his baby! Think $450 billion dollars has anything to do with it! In my neighborhood that’s called a ‘gold digging ho’ & it’s NOT a compliment. The victims are these children!
Classic Trump. Pitting his stooges against each other is a job perk. He's the prison guard collecting bets on inmate fights to check the ennui. The first round of firings has already begun and the hunt to find even sleazier replacements is on. Somehow, they're always out there.
People were predicting the Trump/Musk breakup ever some they because significant others. I think Musk loves his access to power too much to turn on Trump, but we’ll see.
"I have created the brand-new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, perhaps you've heard of it, which is headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight," Trump said in his speech Tuesday night.
Trump wants Cabinet to become co-conspirators
Musk has downloaded The US Data Infrastructure to Tesla xAI in Memphis TN
xAI is training LLMs on The US Data Infrastructure
xAI AI Agents will be operational over ALL US Taxpayer IDs
Next is US payment system: xAI, X, X-Money
Cabinet has to be in on it
Musk is now sleeping in the White House or in the Eisenhower Executive building, riding in the Beast, on Airforce One & has his personal US govt armed security. Can you get confirmation on any of all of that, pls?
Maybe because, in his State of the Union adress, Trump said about DOGE: "[...] which is headed by Elon Musk [...]" https://www.youtube.com/live/FbGVBnG-RMs?feature=shared&t=2980 For the untrained ear, that could sound a bit official. A President and time and place.
This can only be a direct response to PUBLIC CITIZEN, INC. v. TRUMP (1:25-cv-00164) which was filed immediately after Trump stated DOGE was run by Musk in his overly-long post-festivus grievance whinging. Note @annepmitchell.bsky.social
“Unilateral decisions,” wasn’t Musk quoted with that exact phrase earlier today? Telling members of congress they needed to pass laws essentially validating his unilateral decisions? I’m pretty sure that’s the phrase he used.
trump likes to create tension between his people to see who wins out. It's like dropping two scorpions in a jar to watch them fight. It's not a competition for who has the best ideas but for who is willing to do their worst to survive.
Oh man, when he and Elonia get divorced, the tabloids will go crazy! I get the feeling that somebody is getting through to him, telling him that what Elon is doing is tanking the economy, and that’s bad for his donors.
Presumably Trump means they're in charge of what is left of their departments after Musk's vandals pillaged them. Or does he now want to re-hire all the expers Musk threw out..
Gee, might have something to do with the article that came out that Musk gave his phone number to certain Senators if they have a pet project they want him to keep funding. lol
Yeah just bring Musk’s chain saw to court as exhibit one and show how in his own words he’s taken credit for the all the carnage. The felon is now desperately trying to cover his legal back after practically admitting Musk’s role.
That statement was for the media, ultimately as tRump stated he has given muskrat his full support, code for you’re still the boss. Yes tRump does believe we are all idiots, and for those who are thinkers, well he just doesn’t regard your opinions at all. Full on nationwide strike is needed.
Plausible deniability for Elon. He's gonna throw everyone BUT Elon under the bus. He already gave Little Marco his execution orders. Marco was called out on the world stage as a patsy from Trump's failed policies. Disgusting.
So none of the terminations, closing of the agencies are valid if Elon was just in a "advisory" role. But he got access to all the data. No one still knows what he is going to do with it

Spreading the pain.

I'm sure the "guidance" will be different tomorrow.
Needs work but there's a headline there.
And will Mr Trump’s Supreme Court seek to enforce them.

"hey dept head do this or you will be demoted"
Musk's reign is just about over. thank god almighty.
Musk wouldn't know this (nor would he care):
❗ >125,000 veterans have died by suicide since 2001
❗about 6,000 veterans take their own lives each year
As usual the Trump admin are running utter rings around them by lying.
