More on Elon Musk’s Government Role

Federal Workers Again Receive Email: Federal workers started to receive emails asking them to provide a list of accomplishments from the week, a reprise of a request by Musk that spread fear and confusion through the government just days before.

Impeachment Threats for Judges: Congressional Republicans, egged on by Musk and other top allies of President Trump, are escalating calls to remove federal judges who stand in the way of administration efforts to overhaul the government.

Social Security Administration: The Social Security Administration, a crucial program that keeps millions of older Americans out of poverty, said that it would reduce its head count by more than 12 percent.

Challenges to Constitutionality of DOGE.: A judge prodded government lawyers for additional clarity on Musk’s role in a case that directly challenges the constitutionality of his operation and his part in the rapid reshaping of government.

Musk’s Cameo: At the first cabinet meeting of his second term, President Trump asked Musk to speak first. Tasked with slashing the federal government, Musk spoke far more than anyone else, except Trump himself.
