Among the relevant questions in the litigation alleging that Musk unconstitutionally wields the power of a “principal officer”:
1. Does Musk have the power to hire and fire people?
2. Is Musk supervised by someone other than the president and is that person a Senate-confirmed officer?
Manu Raju reports:
Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, answered questions about a number of topics at a closed-door lunch meeting with GOP senators — including about Elon Musk and his role in the administration, an issue that has caused GOP angst on Capitol Hill.
According to Sen. Josh Hawley, Wiles laid out the
"nuts and bolts" of Musk's job and said that he reports directly to Trump - not Cabinet secretaries.
"Musk is working directly with the president, and the president then works with the Cabinet secretaries," Hawley said, recounting how Wiles described the workflow.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville said Wiles explained Musk's
"procedure, what they do and how they do it...how Elon runs it, how he's hired people, put them together, where they go, what they're doing next."
This is just one of many examples of the lawlessness of the Musk/Trump administration.
