Donald Trump Sued Immediately After Inauguration Over DOGE Collaboration with Musk

Donald Trump’s presidency is only a few hours old, and already several lawsuits have been filed against him. The lawsuits are about a new advisory group, DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), which has raised concerns due to its questionable structure and lack of proper government oversight. The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and the nonprofit organization Public Citizen initiated a lawsuit shortly after the inauguration ceremony.

The main issue is that DOGE doesn’t follow the rules set by the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), which requires advisory committees to be transparent, fair, and involve relevant stakeholders. However, DOGE is made up mostly of tech figures like Elon Musk and others from Silicon Valley, with no federal employees or experts from relevant fields, violating the law.

“The advice and guidance that Mr Trump has charged DOGE with producing is sweeping and consequential. DOGE -the members of which currently do not represent the interests of everyday Americans — will be recommending cuts to government agencies and programs that protect health, benefits, consumer finance, and product safety,” AFGE said.

Vivek Ramaswamy Steps Down

Along with the AFGE, several other watchdog and advocacy organizations filed lawsuits on Monday against the creation of DOGE. Trump had appointed billionaire entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to co-lead DOGE with Musk, but Ramaswamy reportedly decided to step down from the role to run for governor in Ohio.

“It was my honour to help support the creation of DOGE. I’m confident that Elon & team will succeed in streamlining government. I’ll have more to say very soon about my future plans in Ohio. Most importantly, we’re all-in to help President Trump make America great again,” Ramaswamy wrote on X.
