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.
Musk is gonna run DOGE like he runs everything else…fast and loose. Let the bugs run out in production and chase 'em there.

One thing about musk…he shoots first and asks questions later. He is the embodiment of asking for forgiveness instead of permission. That can be a good trait in some circumstances, but not really in running a government agency.
