California joined in more than a dozen other countries on Thursday Complete the Trump administration because of the informal role of Elon Musk As a consultant of the President's personal budget, who appealed to the assumed authority of the technical billionaire as unconstitutional to reduce the federal budget and on the federal authorities.
“There is no greater threat to democracy than the accumulation of state power in the hands of an individual, unnecessary individual,” the laws of the states begin. “Although our constitutional system was designed in such a way that the abuse of a monarch from the 18th century prevented, the instruments of unchecked power in the hands of a tech baron of the 21st century are no less dangerous.”
President Trump has repeatedly defended Musk's work in the past few weeks and explained on Thursday that he is doing an “amazing job” that identifies supposed fraud and waste. Musk has suggested that his power is legitimate because Trump was partly chosen by a promise that he would work with musk with the removal of waste.
Surveys have shown that many Americans believe that there is considerable waste in the federal government and too much bureaucracy. It has also shown that many Americans are skeptical about Musk and his role in the government.
The lawsuit of the states, which was submitted to the US district court in Washington, DC, claims that the Muschus – under the banner of the Efficiency of the government's MinistryWhat President Trump unilaterally created is “through the federal government that accesses sensitive data and cause mass chaos and confusion for state and local governments, federal employees and the American people”.
The complaint notes that the Dates of the clause Congress is demanding that the constitution to prevent the crony of a king in the new federal government to create new positions in the government, and that the Senate then confirms the President's representatives for prominent posts.
Weeks have exceeded the Democrats against Musks against the elimination of the federal financing approved by the congress, which the Bundesbalken -strings controlled, together with its Doge MPs. The lawsuit of the states says that Musk's actions are both alarming and unconstitutional.
“Lord. Musk's apparently unlimited and unchecked power to remove the government of its workforce and to eliminate entire departments with the stroke or click of a mouse would have been shocking for those who have won the independence of this country,” says the lawsuit . “There is no office of the United States as the President of the Executive Department, and the comprehensive authority, which now corresponds to a single and uncontrolled person, is against the entire constitutional structure.”
In his own explanation, California. General Rob Bonta called Musk a “bull in a China shop” and said. “”
“Doges search of federal authorities has sowed enormous chaos, conveyed distrust of the American people and damage our country deeply,” said Bonta.
The lawsuit adds a bunch of legal disputes that have already taken challenging measures that Musk and Doge have taken, including access to sensitive databases for the Department of Sensitive Finance Ministry, the closure of the US Agency for International Development and other steps.
California came Arizona, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington as if he has legitimate authority and has so far illegitically explained his guidelines.
In the White House on Thursday, Trump was asked about Doge's officials who apparently appeared at the Internal Revenue Service. He said that IRS would indeed be “viewed” After Musk's team.
“You do a damn good job. It's a great job you do. And you know this force – I call it the power of supergenies – but she builds, ”said Trump. “You are very smart people.”
Musk spent part of the day to publish praise from Doge on his social media platform X. Musk published two fire -emojis on a contribution about Dogge officials who entered the IRS.
Democrats have accelerated Musk's work in the past few weeks and accused him of deliberately spreading misinformation about what federal financing is issued for. And Musk admitted this week that he would make some false statements while looking for waste or fraud.
However, he has also proposed that Democrats who criticize his work are simply corrupt. On Thursday, Musk published on X that “leading Democrats” may have criticized his work and claimed that it was not fraud “because they get their cut” and they don't want Doge to discover it.
