Musk Doesn’t Run DOGE, White House Says. Why the Distinction Matters. – Barron’s
Qs that may arise in legal actions re. Musk and government employees with whom he interacts: As a federal government employee, to whom does Musk report? Who supervises him and evaluates his performance? Is he a political appointee or a member of the civil service? Is he classified as a probationary employee and, like others, subject to immediate firing for “performance”? What payment and benefits does he receive in exchange for his federal government employment (consideration)? Who monitors conflicts of interest between Musk’s roles in government and business?
