Lawyers working on a case against the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) found new evidence in President Trump’s joint address to Congress where he mentioned Elon Musk heading the department. This statement has been used in a court filing to push for expedited discovery to understand the nature of DOGE and its relationship to the United States DOGE Service. While Amy Gleason has been announced as the acting administrator of DOGE, Musk still appears to be leading the efforts, as confirmed by the White House press secretary.
Despite Trump’s previous statements that Musk is heading DOGE, the White House has referred to him as a special government employee and not the administrator. A separate statement from Joshua Fisher, a Trump appointee, reiterated that Musk is only a senior adviser to Trump and not directly affiliated with the U.S. DOGE Service. The Justice Department has not yet responded to these claims.
This development adds fuel to the ongoing legal battle surrounding the legality and leadership of DOGE, raising questions about Musk’s role in the department and the confusion surrounding its leadership. As the case continues to unfold, more clarity is needed on the true nature of DOGE and its connections to the U.S. government.
