During a hearing on Monday, Chutkan signaled that she was open to the argument that regardless of Musk’s official title in the Trump administration as a temporary “special government employee,” he was in fact exercising far greater power.
New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez, one of the officials leading the case, said in a statement that the states “remain committed to putting an end to Elon Musk’s unlawful power grab.“His move-fast-and-break-things mentality is not only reckless, but also unconstitutional, and we are prepared to pursue this case for as long as it takes to bring this chaos to an end,” Torrez said.
US District Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington on Tuesday rejected a bid for immediate court intervention from Democratic state attorneys general who contend Musk is exercising power to reshape the US government that is supposed to be reserved only for high-level, Senate-confirmed officials.
