With what authority is Musk doing all these things? Of course you cannot do this with the president's consent only, the department must first be sanctioned by the legislature and whoever will lead it must be approved. In addition, is Elon Musk an auditor? If yes, when did he become one? Because as far as I know, even before Tesla's earnings reports are released, they have to be audited by one of the Big 4 or 5 (of you consider BDO) accounting firms, talk less of a whole country that has one of the most effective regulations in the world. Or did Elon Musk think the U.S is Twitter - which has since lost over 60% of its value since he acquired it - where he can do as he pleases.
DOGE was formed by Obama. 300 man strong team freed from hiring and vetting processes called USDS.
Trump fired remaining holdovers and renamed it DOGE.
GFY.

Rigetti gained over 1,000% last year alone. Palantir over 300%, Nvidia over 1,000% over the past three years.
This ought to shut you up.

Trump should not harken to the judges
They are operating double standard

They ask Tiinubu result to be released
So everything about treasury should be released as well

You can do this for many companies as well bro, that's the point. It is not Elon Musk exceptionalism, rather it is America's, and thats why your darling Elon moved from South Africa to Canada then to U.S. Learn.

Are you aware that the department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that is requesting the financial records is not recognised under US federal law?
To begin with, Elon or whoever is chairing DOGE has zero locus standi to initiate the case in the first instance. So, the judge's order is very very legal.
Instead of creating a new department from scratch, which would require Congressional approval, Trump repurposed the USDS, which was already part of the Executive Office of the President. By renaming it to the US DOGE Service, he effectively made it part of the formal government structure without needing new legislation.

Secondly Trump used his executive authority to sign an order that not only renamed the service but also redefined its mandate to focus on "maximizing governmental efficiency and productivity." This executive action allowed him to bypass immediate legal hurdles related to establishing new governmental entities.

So you see DOGE only answers to the president.
A lawyer taking DOGE to court is trying to tell the Executive what to do. The legislature is different from the executive.

Elon was appointed by the president to co chair DOGE. It can happen any where in the world. EFCC is not even enshrine in Nigeria constitution. Do u know that?
EFCC is under political e force.

Thanks for this. But after reading about USDS, I find out that it's duty is to provide consultation services to federal agencies.. So, I think it is still a subordinate to several federal agencies and would lack any power to hold unto what it is demanding from the court. And lastly, I don't think this issue is about taking DOGE to court, it sounds more like spelling out the limits of its power.

And you think Elon and Trump don't have their own money laundering scheme in the works?

I laugh at your ignorance

If you know how much Elon and Trump has made since coming to power you won't say this

They answer to the president.
It's under the executive branch so why would anyone take it to court to stop it from doing it's duties "Provide Consultation Services"?

DOGE is under the executive branch. The court case will be ignored.

True, but the head of the treasury appointed by Trump and confirmed by the senate has said DOGE will have all they need to do their work
