Conn. AG: Elon Musk’s Work Is in Utter Violation of the U.S. Constitution And the Appointments Clause

BERMAN: “With us now is the attorney general of the state of Connecticut, William Tong, one of the attorneys general that brought this lawsuit. Mr. Attorney General, thank you for being with us. First, just describe to me exactly what this suit is over specifically.”
TONG: “Yeah, good morning, John, good to see you again. This suit is about stopping Donald Trump from letting an unelected billionaire, Elon Musk, and his army of tech bro wannabe storm troopers from tearing up the federal government and accessing sensitive information. Now, this suit, there are two suits. There‘s DOGE one, and I was in federal court with Tish James, the attorney general of New York, on Friday seeking a preliminary injunction in that case, We already have a temporary restraining order. But the case in front of Judge Chutkan in D.C. is about the appointments clause. And so, in the Constitution, it says if you exercise significant authority, you‘ve got to be confirmed — nominated by the president, but confirmed by the Senate. That didn‘t happen here. His appointment, his work is in utter violation of the U.S. Constitution and the appointments clause.”
