Elon Musk must defend himself against a lawsuit alleging that he unlawfully seized too much power as the leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a judge ruled Monday.
According to the plaintiffs, Musk needed Senate confirmation before directing DOGE on drastic actions like eliminating agencies, mass firings, and steep budget cuts. Allegedly going far beyond the authority granted in President Donald Trump’s most expansive DOGE executive orders, Musk took every inch of power granted and then increasingly used it to overreach unlike any presidential advisor who came before, the suit says.
In her opinion partly denying a motion to dismiss, US District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan did not buy the US government’s defense that Musk held no office formally established by law—and therefore did not need Senate confirmation and cannot be alleged to have exceeded his authority under the Constitution’s Appointments Clause.
“Nobody thinks, for instance, that the White House Chief of Staff or White House Counsel are officers in any fashion, despite the fact they may exercise tremendous influence across the government,” the government’s motion to dismiss said.
Chutkan called the defense “disquieting.” “Defendants appear to make the extraordinary argument that an individual who holds an important office and wields immense power is not subject to the Appointments Clause so long as the office was unlawfully created, and the power was unlawfully seized,” Chutkan said.

can’t put the genie back in the bottle, our data has been stolen
Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost because of the USAID cuts. A great deal of this damage is irreversible.
Somewhere, Susan Collins finds this troubling.
If by „Undone“ you mean get back classified information including the entire US populations personal data from Russia then no.
If you mean bring back departments that Musk illegally interfered with then I guess? Sorta. Musk and DOGE should be tried for their crimes against us too.
Jobs lost, funding gone, data sent to who knows, and many other things can’t be undone.
He’ll likely just get pardoned as a ‚patriot‘ unless the bromance has cooled.
DOGE was completely useless and horrible. People were crying inside their offices while the DOGE cretins were having a good time. Makes me sick to my stomach to think about.
What about 600K+ dead from the DOGE cuts? Can those be undone? Nope, it’s genocide and they need to be held accountable.
I’m 100% certain they kept all the data tagged and organized properly during the extraction. Putting it back should be a breeze, there’s no possible way their junior developer team deleted things they thought weren’t needed, right? What even is DEI anyway? /s
You call that work?
DOGE programmed back doors into every system people stopped me on the street to say. Isn’t that the way to say it? Oh yea thank you sir.
/s
Work is NOT a synonym for damage.
„work“ seems like a stretch. Maybe „sabotage“ or „meddling“ or „crimes“ would be better?
They spent the money. And the institutional knowledge has moved on, unfortunately. People are not going to just trust government jobs for awhile.
One of his DOGE boys downloaded the SS numbers of all US citizens on a hard drive for unknown reasons.
I’m looking forward to reading a headline that says “All of DOGE’s work is undone and Musk forfeits his fortune in reparations.”
Can Unsteal the data, not going to be able to fix the backdoors they left. The destruction of the integrity of the data the Federal Government uses is total, complete, and irreversible
Yeah? Neat. Can’t undo the tens of thousands of dead children though can they? Can’t undo financial pain of the tens of thousands of workers who lost jobs because of those pieces of shit.
Can’t bring back the tens of thousands of scientists and science projects which failed or have left the US which will cause a dark age for this country for the next 50 years.
So great, undo the obviously illegal shit which should never have happened and watch Trump simply say no and not restore anything so every head in the sand dimwit can clearly see that it is time to get to the business of being a house divided.
Because if these pieces of trash do not go to prison for the death they wrought illegally then there is no justice.
Can’t unfuck the pig, it’s already done
What work… oh you mean crimes? 🤗
What? What is this FUCKING DRIVEL from arstechnica – I thought they were once respected.
DOGE had one purpose, to steal the social security number and as much useful private information of every American as possible. We know for a fact they have every single taxpayers SSN and corresponding tax/income data. They absolutely have all information on who gets government assistance, Medicare/Medicaid , SSI disability, food stamps, tanf etc.
Every single American has been compromised already.
The „work“ ARS is referencing was a DISTRACTION.
DOGE drained the government’s brain trust with their firings. It will be decades before competence returns.
They fucked over so many innocent people, we need punishment for everyone involved in this charade if there is to be any sort of justice. And I’m not talking about fines, either.
That’s not true. No lawsuit is going to bring back all the people they killed. And your information will remain stolen
Until all of his wealth is confiscated and used to invest in Americas schools and hospitals and he is sitting in a prison cell, justice will remain elusive.
What work? Work denotes something with a tangible result in line with the intention, no?
Don’t they just fail to do what they said they would while data mining the American public?
How the gonna undo that?
Gonna get that stolen data back too? Undo whatever they did yes… fine the shit out of Elon and then let the law have their way with all of them. Do be careful they don’t buy or coerce their way out of it.
What work? They just took data and killed a bunch of people by arbitrarily cutting grants.
It can’t be undone. It is permanent damage and ruined lives.
I don’t know how that would even begin to be accomplished. People died, entire support systems are ripped to shreds, grants and contracts destroyed without the money to replace any of it. Regulatory branches made extinct etc. The country was irreparably damaged. That doesn’t even begin to mention all of the stolen data. I mean I’m glad but it feels so fucking useless now.
Can we take his Trillion to offset the money DOGE cost America? Cuz, I want the damn money back in our collective pocket.
Can’t wait to see all the data toothpaste put back in the sensitive information tube.
They should all go to prison for life. They have all of our social security numbers and private information now.
That USAID money is gone. Stolen by the richest man in the world, along with tons and tons of government data. There’s no „undoing“ that.
>In her opinion partly denying a motion to dismiss, US District **Judge Tanya S. Chutkan did not buy the US government’s defense that Musk held no office formally established by law—and therefore did not need Senate confirmation and cannot be alleged to have exceeded his authority** under the Constitution’s Appointments Clause.
…that is the Government’s defense? Jesus christ the Department of Justice is really down to the morons who will argue anything huh
How would them stealing all our private sensitive data all be undone?? Especially when it was already sold to top bidders in other nations? You actually believe Russia or Israel didnt get that information!??? That damage is done.. we would need a full new system with new everything… and i don’t see that ever happening… soooo how do we undo this??
The theft of private data at the hands of these people cannot be „undone.“
Is a class action lawsuit possible?
It’s already done. I know so many who will never come back to work for government. We’ve lost so many good people who were dedicating their lives to stewardship forsaking increased salaries.
This is going to last a generation
Their work could be undone but not the damage they caused can’t.
That snot- nosed kid uploaded all our personal info on a drive and much of that data finding it’s way onto the dark web
Fed here, unfortunately in the gov, when policy is set it’s realllly hard to undo. DOGE cancelled all of our contracts including things like building maintenance, travel to do mission critical work, the ability to replace broken office equipment or even order paper. Cruel RTO that’s left families scrambling, having to quit and many many other draconian policies that have literally ground our ability to do our jobs to a stop. They didn’t cut any red tape, they created exponentially more.
If DOGE is invalidated it means two huge things:
1. Agencies could be resurrected…however messily that could be
2. **Mass litigation** – Every fired employee, every canceled program, every blocked contractor payment, and every affected state gets tons of ammo for lawsuits. Settlements, back pay, declaratory rulings, and YEARS of legal consequences.
Trump has an incredible ability to just WASTE money. It’s truly astounding how quickly he can piss it away on nothing…like deploying the national guard to rake leaves.
Elon needs to have all of his assets nationalized for sedition and then be deported by ICE
This shitbird pedo needs to go
