A lawsuit will be filed against Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s new nongovernmental entity as soon as Donald Trump is officially president.
Updated: 16 minutes agoTesla CEO Elon Musk leaves the Senate bipartisan Artificial Intelligence Insight Forum on Capitol Hill on Sept. 13, 2023.
Shortly after the election, Trump tapped Musk and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to lead DOGE in identifying government regulations and spending programs for the White House to cut. The group has already hired dozens of staffers as it works out of the Washington offices of Musk’s company SpaceX, sending emissaries across U.S. agencies to put together a list of recommendations to execute in tandem with the administration and often communicating on the encrypted messaging app Signal.
Hammond added: “The president is allowed to take advice from external experts without creating a formal advisory committee.” “Although its reach is extensive, we cannot believe that was intended to cover every formal and informal consultation between the President or an Executive agency and a group rendering advice,” the court wrote at the time.
Citing public reporting, including in the New York Times and The Post, the lawsuit identifies 17 people affiliated with DOGE, including tech executives Marc Andreessen, Baris Akis and Antonio Gracias.
