Contradiction in Doge oversight
To: Rep. Zinke
From: A constituent in Dillon, MT
March 6
President Trump's recent remarks about Elon Musk "heading" the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) directly contradict the White House's stance that Musk holds no formal government role. This adds to concerns about potential overreach and a lack of oversight regarding DOGE's powers. Given DOGE's far-reaching efforts to slash the federal workforce and the controversies surrounding Musk's leadership, stronger Congressional oversight is needed to ensure accountability and prevent any abuse of authority. There must be clarity on the chain of command and Musk's exact position to maintain the separation of powers and rule of law. Proper checks and balances should be exercised to rein in any potential overreach by DOGE that could undermine vital government functions and services.
