Interesting, but it might just be a clarification for legal purposes.

Worthless unnamed sources from Polutico.

And I doubt Musk was ever "in charge" of all the departments.

Of course. Politico is just trying to put their own spin on it.

Thought this was always the case. I think it is just clarification for legal purposes and for the idiots that don’t understand plain english

Well technically that is the case, Elon is there to make recommendations but its up to Congress to put it into law..everything that DOGE finds its up to Congress to give us back the money that DOGE is finding. Trump said so himself on numerous occasions

Bullshit

Musk him self said the same thing a week ago on Joe Rogan’s podcast

So once again Politico or their “unnamed sources” are lying.

sounds like bullshit to me ... only the President and the Cabinet/Department heads can actually fire people ...

DOGE is an auditor; auditor make recommendations to management ... management decides what, if anything, to do with said recommendations ...

Musk has always said that DOGE makes recommendations and Trump and the department heads choose to make those changes, layoffs, etc.

In other news Trump is planning to abolish The Department of Education and cut 65% of the workers at The EPA and 45,000 at The IRS.

You all know Politico is paid by democrats to bring division among our side. They always distort things and this is a good example.

The dems like to spin everything in terms of conflict.

Its a clarification, nothing more. So everyone’s on the same page. Limits? The dems will always like to portray anything like this as a problem. They are the masters of wedge issues.

Actually, I don’t think that’s true. He clarified that Musk is working with department leaders and they’ve decided to all meet every two weeks.

Speaking of limits though:

President Donald J. Trump signs an executive order suspending the security clearances for employees at Perkins Coie — which played a key role in the Russia hoax.

“This is an absolute honor to sign.”

Now THIS is something I’ve been waiting for. Perkins Coie is the old law firm of Marc Elias.

This whole thing has been a fiasco and soon will be realized as such. Trump should’ve trusted his cabinet members and given them direction to provide him within six months to a year the recommendation for reducing their budget and staff by a certain predetermined percentage. This wonton firings carnage is an absolute joke.

President Trump did not have his team until they were confirmed by the Senate. Now that most of them are in power and they know what the mission is, they don’t need Elon calling the shots. He make suggestions and they make moves based on that as needed.

I see this as normal, and not a put down to Elon.
