Elon Musk's role that oversees the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is likely a violation of the US Constitution's appointments, a federal judge wrote on Tuesday.
Theodore Chuang, a judge in the US district court for the Maryland district, wrote to a Opinion There is more than enough evidence – most of the statements made by Musk and Donald Trump – showing the richest man in the world actually acting as the dog leader despite the government's claim that he is a “special presidential advisor.”
Chuang issued an opinion on a case that was brought against the Musk and DOGE by unnamed workers at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The judge also wrote that the actions Musk performed on that paper, as shut down USAID – that Musk said he threw “Wood chipper” – Therefore it is unlikely to be consistent with the constitution.
“Musk has conducted actual authority in USAID that a properly designated officer can exercise,” he wrote. (The United States officer is a legal difference set by the clause of appointments.)
Chuang's opinion arrived more than 50 days after Trump's office and allowed Musk to start cutting government agencies with his team at Doge. His opinion was the most direct shot of the entire bow of Musk and DOGE in many suits filed over the past two months.
In his opinion, Chuang ordered the restoration of some of USAID's operations and restrained the muscle and dog from taking additional steps to abolish the agency.
It is unclear whether Musk and Doge will follow that next; Musk and President Trump spend the last day Post In Social Media Claiming that the judges in charge against their actions must be impeached. Trump's promotion of that idea was out of line by the presidents who preceded him that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts issued a rare public statement that he was shot dead.
“For more than two centuries,” Roberts write“Established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement about a judicial decision.
