#Musk's division faces lawsuit#

Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency" (D.O.G.E) is being accused of violating federal transparency rules, with a lawsuit targeting the department expected to be filed minutes after Trump's inauguration. The suit alleges that D.O.G.E violated a 1972 law that requires advisory boards providing counsel to the executive branch to follow rules on information disclosure, hiring, and other operations. The lawsuit was filed by the National Security Counselors, a public interest law firm, who argue that D.O.G.E is operating as a non-governmental organization without complying with the legal requirements. The lawsuit will initiate a legal battle over a key aspect of the new administration’s agenda and raise questions about government transparency and the operation of advisory boards.
