  • A new lawsuit alleges that President Trump violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution when he gave unelected billionaire Elon Musk leeway to make sweeping changes to government agencies.

The article from NBC 26 discusses a lawsuit filed against former President Donald Trump, alleging that his appointment of Elon Musk to make changes via Dogecoin was unconstitutional. The suit claims that Trump's decision to involve Musk, a private citizen, in governmental decision-making through the use of Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency, bypasses established legal and democratic processes. Critics argue that this move not only undermines the separation of powers but also potentially violates the Appointments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which outlines how officers of the United States are to be appointed. The lawsuit seeks to challenge the legality of such an appointment and the implications it has for governance and cryptocurrency regulation.
