I am not a fan of Musk’s background. I am very unsettled by his spirit. Has Musk been vetted by the FBI? I have never in my lifetime seen anyone that has never been elected have so much power in the White House. Its unbelievable! Seems to me he has more power than Congress at this point! Not acceptable to this tax payer!!!
The check and balances of power is broken in America. The Democrats have self-destructed. The EPA could not even clean them up at this point! The ugly thing is, they still rule New Mexico! New Mexico is in such bad shape. The GOP is so weak here. One party rule is not a good thing at all for any country. America needs a third party!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Billionaire Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration is as a White House employee and senior adviser to the president, and is not an employee of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and has no decision-making authority, the White House said in a court filing on Monday.
According to a filing signed by Joshua Fisher, director of the Office of Administration at the White House, Musk can only advise the president and communicate the president’s directives.
Fisher’s filing, made in a case brought against Musk by the State of New Mexico, said that Musk was not an employee of the U.S. DOGE Service, or the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, and added: “Mr Musk is not the U.S. DOGE Service Administrator.” More Here

Right now there is a lot of over-reaching in D.C.
This is alarming…….Trump stokes alarm about view of presidential power with apparent Napoleon reference
A “system of checks and balances” refers to a government structure where each branch (executive, legislative, and judicial) has the ability to limit the power of the other branches, preventing any one branch from becoming too powerful; essentially, it’s a system where each branch can “check” the actions of the others, maintaining a balance of power across the government.
Key points about checks and balances:
Separation of Powers
This system relies on the concept of dividing government power into distinct branches, each with its own specific responsibilities.
Examples of checks
- Executive checks on Legislative: The President can veto laws passed by Congress.
- Legislative checks on Executive: Congress can impeach and remove the President from office.
- Judicial checks on both Executive and Legislative: The Supreme Court can declare laws or presidential actions unconstitutional through judicial review.
We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament and New Testament are the inerrant, inspired, and infallible Word of God. God’s Word is the final authority for faith and life. We believe there is only one God, and He has chosen to reveal Himself as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Elon Musk certainly held a high security clearance even prior to Trump’s second run for president, as he worked, and continues to work, closely with NASA (as the CEO of SpaceX), including matters involving the ISS, and planned future launches to the moon and subsequently Mars. The lack of ‘fake’ claims of moral failures from left-leaning politicians is also revealing. And, what is particularly interesting to me is that those politicians who are offended by Musk seem utterly unconcerned about what now appears to be trillions of dollars of taxpayer funds misspent and/or unaccounted for, and are instead worried about the person who, for the first time in the federal government, is actually willing and capable to shine light upon and root out fraud, waste and/or abuse. Musk may be a lot of things, but he is on the record regarding Tesla that he does not want nor need government subsidies and whether one likes it or not, he is a modern-day genius who is so rich that he doesn’t ‘need’ to seek kickbacks. His boss, for the second time, does not accept pay for being president and instead gives his money to charity. Is Musk perfect? Of course not! But just imagine the alternative where some long-term political appointee runs around asking high-powered federal agencies to “please open up your books so we can make sure everything is good!” What is happening now is unprecedented, because it’s unprecedented. And, it’s overdue. Just this man’s opinion.
