The Dem tantrum about DOGE is a sight to behold. Their resistance to Elon rooting around in Executive Branch activities is instructive. He is proving that the Dems care more about their precious bureaucrats than the voters’ will. “Hand over your cash, peasants and workers, so we can spend it as we please.”
Despite Dem claims to the contrary, Elon and his whiz kids have no policymaking authority. None. They are part of the White House executive staff. It exists to advise the president. That’s it. Only the president holds executive power. “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America” — Article II, Section I, first sentence. Not in the W.H. executive staff. Not in the courts. Not in Congress. Nor in the Executive Branch departments and agencies, though the president does delegate some authority to them. And absolutely not in the so-called independent agencies, which are totally unconstitutional.
All Elon has done is ask questions and share the answers he found. He has lifted up the rock. Exposed to sunlight, the creatures underneath are scurrying around as if their careers depend on it, and they do. They are dying in the sunlight. Four FEMA members have been fired for spending $69M of FEMA’s money to put illegal aliens in NYC hotels. Elon did not fire them. The president did, via his delegated authority to SecDHS Kristi Noem. Four creatures stomped. Good riddance.
Judges who have blocked Elon’s access to government data are way out of line. Dem claims that we are close to a constitutional crisis might be right, but only because activist judges think they can tell the chief executive what data he and his staff are allowed to see. What nonsense.

It’s funny how the left has no problems with billionaires when they support the left.

Thanks Elon and D.O.G.E. team.
You got that right.
Anybody that sees George soros as somehow good and Elon as evil should really reevaluate their judgment.
It’s called the right amount of authority to do the job he was chosen to do.
Elon has all the power that President Trump has given him.
Only what POTUS delegates to him.
That one reporter asked Karoline if “Elon has the power of the President”. Sheesh. She should tell them to stick to serious questions or risk being suspended from the Press Room for six months.
Elon has 1.2 Jigawatts.
One word: consultant
he can only point out the waste... the president is the one with the power to end it.
His power is whatever the President delegates to him.
Exactly as much as President Trump wants to let him have. 😉
“How much power does Elon Musk have?”
Only the power that THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (currently Donald J Trump) allows him to have.
The power to make babies with liberal women.
I think he has the power to investigate. Someone else makes the decisions.
The more Elon finds, the more power Trump has, not Musk.
The more Elon finds, the more nessessary DOGE audits become.
All Elon has done is ask questions and share the answers.
Two more items on the democrats fear list.
Elon has immense power when it comes to messaging, people trust him, people want to be him it is as plain and simple as that!! People respect his brilliance and work ethic!!
