Elon Musk has taken credit for leading the team that is cutting allegedly wasteful US government spending. Questions about Musk’s role and the activities of the team, known as the Department of Government Efficiency, are at the heart of multiple lawsuits. A federal judge repeatedly pressed a government lawyer to clarify who is running things. Many of the suits allege that Musk and DOGE are violating the Constitution by wielding the kind of vast power that only comes from agencies created through the USCongress or appointments made with confirmation by the US Senate. But some judges have found there is sufficient evidence to pause its activities, at least for now, and have ruled in favour of Musk and the DOGe team, at at least in one case. The case will continue and the attorneys general will seek evidence to support a more permanent injunction, a judge said. The White House identified Amy Gleason as DOG e’s \”acting administrator\” in a court filing on Tuesday, but the White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment made to the Trump administration.
