Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"A federal judge has ruled that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is wielding so much power that its records will likely have to be opened to the public under federal law.</p><p>U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said the vast and “unprecedented” authority of DOGE, formally known as the U.S. Digital Service, combined with its “unusual secrecy” warrant the urgent release of its internal documents under the Freedom of Information Act.</p><p>“The authority exercised by USDS across the federal government and the dramatic cuts it has apparently made with no congressional input appear to be unprecedented,” Cooper wrote in a 37-page opinion.</p><p>It’s the first significant ruling in a growing legal push to pierce DOGE’s secretive veil, a decision that undercuts Musk’s repeated insistence about the operation’s transparency — and the White House’s refrain that Musk is simply a run-of-the-mill presidential adviser with limited decision-making authority. Cooper said this representation is undercut by the weight of evidence that has trickled out in court and in the news.</p><p>The judge noted that DOGE’s speed and the fluidity of its leadership appear to be by design. He is ordering “rolling” productions of DOGE records to begin within weeks."</p><p><a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/10/judge-orders-doge-record-release-00223151" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">politico.com/news/2025/03/10/j</span><span class="invisible">udge-orders-doge-record-release-00223151</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Transparency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Transparency</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Plutocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Plutocracy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Kleptocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kleptocracy</span></a></p>
