I feel like there's a lot of confusion around DOGE and the media isn't doing a great job of making sense of it. Is it an actual government agency, and is Elon an actual employee? I guess that really decides if everything being done is legal or not, as part of the Executive Branch.

No. It is not an actual gov agency. A gov agency has to be created by Congress. It is more of a commission created by Trump by an EO that is masquerading as a real agency. MAGAs don’t care about law and order so it doesn’t really matter.

Incorrect.

DOGE is an actual agency--the president renamed the US Digital Service to the US DOGE Service, and the DOGE organization is a temporary organization under the new version of USDS.

Musk is a special government employee.

Now, the legality of what they're doing can certainly be debated in regards to the scope of their actions and what is permitted for the executive branch vs the legislative branch, but DOGE is a legitimate organization and EM is a legitimate employee.

Good luck with all the answers you get here. Like everything else related to the topic, the only thing you can really conclude from what anyone writes is who they voted for. I believe the Trump-side argument is that Elon has no direct authority, but he does have the President’s ear, and the President as the head of the executive branch has the authority to take these actions. The Democrats would argue that Elon is doing things without any authority because he isn’t a government official, wasn’t elected, he and his staff don’t have proper clearance, Trump can’t take these actions without congressional approval, and perhaps approval of the federal union. I agree with you that the media doesn’t do a good job in general helping us sort this out.

Sometimes the leadership does not even inform you on the status of a submitted proposal unless we win the work. I get why they are doing it but it would be great if there was an external source/website that would share this info instead of us waiting around to hear from them.
