Lets face it….
Donald J. Trump IS a 78 year old Real Estate Guy from Queens New York who IS Just about the Money and Chaos….
He IS a Republican because THAT WAS how he stayed out of jail and has the power to make even More MONEY….
A guy born in South Africa, that WAS an illegal migrant , that HAS TONS of Money is Now the President of the United States’s MENTOR....
Elon Musk IS running his own show…..
Only the Judges and Courts seem to be able to say ‘NO’ to him and make it stick….
NOT the President of the United States OR his Cabinet Members…..
Certainly NOT Congress….
As Trump picks settle in?
Will they run their departments ?
Or will Elon Musk?
And?
Will this lead to Trump’s Cabinet members and Agencies heads turning TO their peoiple AGAINST Musk AND TRUMP for support?
Musk seems to be wearing out his welcome within the Trump Admin already….
The broad goals of Musk’s team at DOGE, which stands for the Department of Government Efficiency, are shared by not just President Donald Trump, but most of his senior advisers, who also want to shrink the government through unilateral cuts. And yet agency heads Trump chose are finding themselves caught off-guard by DOGE’s actions and forced to reverse, mitigate or answer for some of its most disruptive moves.

Trump, though, has made clear that he supports Musk. And none of the tensions with other appointees seem significant enough to block DOGE’s work.

In court filings, the White House has stated that Musk has no “actual or formal” authority to make decisions and is not a DOGE employee. In practice, however, DOGE’s ability to act even without prior approval from Cabinet secretaries illustrates how much power Musk has accrued….
…
“But Trump likes the fact that these Cabinet heads don’t have carte blanche to do whatever they want and that Musk gives them another set of eyes at the agencies. That’s what the president wants, and he’s entitled to run the executive branch that way.”
But the extent of Musk’s ability to execute sweeping changes without approval or input from department heads appears to be unprecedented — and unsettling for the Cabinet.
“Why do you want to be a Cabinet secretary if you can’t run your own agency and the president and Elon Musk run your agency for you? That doesn’t seem like a great job to me. It’s very unusual. We’ve never seen anything like this,”…..
