A federal judge challenged the Trump administration's claims regarding Elon Musk's lack of involvement in the Department of Government Efficiency, which has been associated with significant federal employee layoffs. Despite the government's firm assertion that Musk holds no formal position, evidence from an email suggests his significant influence. Judge Theodore D. Chuang expressed skepticism over the administration's lack of clarity about the task force's leadership, leading to questions on the constitutionality of its operations. The hearing, part of ongoing litigation, raises critical concerns about transparency and accountability.
The judge noted it seemed factually inaccurate for the Trump administration to deny Musk's involvement in the task force leading to mass federal firings.
Federal officials resisted clarity on leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency but later named Amy Gleason as acting administrator, not Musk.
