    Default Musk’s bold plans for ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ face roadblocks

    “There’s the executive branch that might be in their way. The Congress might be in their way. The Constitution is a bit of an obstacle,” said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, president of American Action Forum.
    “Other than that, clear sailing,” he told The Hill.


    “They don’t have any authority to do anything other than say, ‘We think this will be good,’” he said. “Evidently, Mr. Musk has a lot of free time, and if he wants to waste it, that’s fine.”

    If the freedom of speech is taken away
    then dumb and silent we may be led,
    like sheep to the slaughter.
