Summary
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will reportedly face a lawsuit from National Security Counselors shortly after Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The lawsuit alleges DOGE violates the 1972 Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), which mandates transparency, balanced representation, public access, and proper documentation for White House advisory committees.
DOGE, aimed at cutting $2 trillion in federal spending, has not followed these requirements.
Critics have called Musk’s budget-cutting goals unrealistic, as they would likely impact protected programs like Social Security and Medicare, which Trump has vowed to preserve.
Efficiency means not following the rules. Getting things done faster, but ultimately shittier, because you’re rushing it. Making quick descions even though you don’t have enough information to make a good one.
Boss: “How did you get this done already?”
Me: “I upped efficiency by employing clever time-saving techniques.”
Boss: “So you cut corners.”
Me: “Hell yeah I did.”
Yeah, sounds like Musk.
