Musk’s clout and his role as DOGE co-chair are even more significant given the billions of dollars in federal contracts held by his various companies and the array of federal agencies that regulate those companies. Americans are entitled to know about his communications and activities with the federal government before he and Trump go about overhauling it. That’s why our organization, the State Democracy Defenders Fund, has begun our inquiry into DOGE by filing Freedom of Information Act requests across the federal government.
Demand and inquire all you want, they’re not going to do shit unless they are forced to. Who can force them to, and how? Certainly not the DoJ. Certainly not Congress. Certainly not SCOTUS.
There are no legal levers left to pull. That means it must necessarily come to extralegal levers.
