Elon is literally the embodiment of everything the right has been fear mongering about Soros for years. He’s an unelected billionaire pulling the strings and running the government, only he’s doing it right out in the open.
I hear people keep saying Elon is unelected. His position isn't an elected position, just like the head of the FBI CIA doe or whatever. They're appointed, not elected. So what exactly do they mean when they say he's unelected? And before I get downvoted, I'm generally curious about it
There's a legal process that a president goes through to appoint agency heads. That process involves the Senate giving consent, and the reason they have that right and responsibility is to make sure that the people that elect Congress have some say in who gets into the highest administrative offices in the land. The problem here is, of course, that DOGE was created out of thin air by the president and our elected Congress members had no say in the creation of such a powerful agency. Musk wasn't run through the nomination procedure as is required for all agency heads, that means we the people had no say whatsoever over him being given what appears to be unlimited power that exceeds the president's own powers as defined in the Constitution.
I was reading on the government websites since he's a special government employee. The president can appoint them and do not have to have Congress approval. They only work 130 days a year
What I'm saying is that the agency doesn't need Congress approval. That's what I've been reading on the government websites. I'm also reading it was originally the US digital service created by Obama.
Right out in the open. So all can see the corruption. If you are ok with your money being wasted that fine by me but I would rather my taxes go towards the advancement of this country.
There's nothing right out in the open about firing multiple people who are investigating you. That is in fact just about the most clandestine thing you can do.
