Trump described Musk as a kind of executor for his executive commands, which he said he was not done if they were distributed to government offices.

“He would take over this executive order that I had signed and he would let these people go to every agency she was,” said Trump, referring to Musk and others who worked for the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) .

Trump imitated the voices of Doge employees: “When do you do that? Complete! Complete! ‘And a guy who might not want to suddenly sign it, ”he said.

Musk and Trump sat side by side and spent a large part of the joint interview about the cost reduction efforts that Trump Musk ascribes. The interview broke little new territory, but it was a very public sign that Trump and Musk keep uniformity, since dogs are still under fire in the congress of complaints, street demonstrations and democrats.

The Ministry of Justice in a court registration yesterday for a lawsuit that relates to the extent of Musk’s power said that Musk has no authority in his role with Doge.

“Musk” has no actual or formal authority to make decisions ” – including personnel decisions to individual authorities,” said Doj lawyer to the court and cited a sworn explanation by Joshua Fisher, the director of the office of the administration of the White House. Musk “has” only the ability to advise the president or to communicate the president’s guidelines, like other high -ranking officials from the White House, “wrote the lawyers.

The lawsuit in question was raised by democratic Attorney General and argued that Musk has the government’s power about what he is approved for legally or constitutionally. A federal judge rejected it today to stop Dogy’s activities immediately, even if she described it “disturbing”.
