The 2.5 million you speak of operate within agencies whose mandates have been given by Congress and their actions are subject to judicial reciew. There is no Comgressional mandate for DOGE. They are the rogue agency people like you spent years worrying about.

> or are just inherently anti-Musk

The dude made a Nazi salute in public in broad daylight. So yes, I'm inherently anti-Musk because I'm inherently anti-Nazi because Nazis are inherently anti human rights and anti basic freedoms.

> False. It was a temporary injuction until the judge has time to review it.

It was in fact multiple injunctions because people at DOGE kept trying to work around it in increasingly stupid ways.

> So are 2.5 million other employees and advisors in government.

Those employees are employed by a government agency established, funded and given their mission by Congress. The heads of these agencies are approved by the US Senate.

None of these statements above apply to Elon Musk or "DOGE."

These are also staff of the government.. Or contracted by the government. The government contracts out all the time.
