The Trump administration is facing four lawsuits over the formation of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, a new government advisory committee headed by the world's richest man, Elon Musk. One of these lawsuits is being brought by the watchdog organization Public Citizen, which says DOGE fails to comply with laws on the composition and reporting duties of such bodies. "Musk's role in this government is part of a broader convergence of corporate and government power … that doesn't really have a parallel in American history," says Public Citizen co-president Robert Weissman, who calls it "profoundly dangerous."
