Solicitor General #JohnSauer has now officially told #SCOTUS that #ElonMusk is “not part of” the U.S. #DOGE Service.

#Trump described Musk’s role on Feb 19 as follows: “I signed an order creating [DOGE] & put a man named Elon Musk in charge.”

If not, then everything he touched, every hire he recommended, every flunkie he enabled, was illegal. Every data grab. Regardless of everything else, it's illegal.

That's not correct at all.

It's not illegal to recommend something. In fact, such recommendations are outright recognized by law noting such advisory roles.

Musk simply wasn't in charge, regardless of the incompetence and obliviousness of the president who doesn't know what he's doing.

The real adults who actually are in charge in this government are the ones with legal authority to be scrutinized.
