New Mexico sues Elon Musk

‘Move fast and break things may work in Silicon Valley…but ‘it’s not good governance’

The State of New Mexico is leading a new multi-state lawsuit against Elon Musk, the Department of Government Efficiency and Donald Trump, claiming that the actions Trump has allowed Musk’s DOGE to take violate the U.S. Constitution.

New Mexico did not join a separate lawsuit filed last week by a dozen state attorneys general challenging DOGE’s access to the Treasury Department but, in a statement last weekend, New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez indicated he was in discussion with other AGs about filing a separate action challenging Musk.

That lawsuit, filed Thursday in federal court, seeks a declaration that Musk’s role and actions are unconstitutional; an injunction to prevent Musk from issuing orders to federal agencies; and invalidation of all executive actions issued through DOGE. A separate suit by former federal employees makes comparable claims.

the monies that claim is too high in the government agencies panned out in the wrong direction, assuming in reality that all the monies taken by this group of people could have creep into their pockets?

He and his badly-behaved kid can be off the airwaves forever and the former in prison. Can’t imagine what life this kid will have.
