    In 1962, Congress created the role of “special government employee,” which allows the executive branch, the legislative branch and independent federal agencies to bring on employees for specific roles on a temporary basis.

    SGEs are limited to working for the government for no more than 130 days out of a 365-day period, though they can work multiple years, and they can either be paid or unpaid. NPR has reported that Musk is not being paid for his work with DOGE.

      He didn’t make it to 130 days. He never mentioned that. Also, the law does not constrain this administration. He got bored when he didn’t immediately become loved and gave up like the little baby he is. Stop giving these bumbling oligarchs the benefit of the doubt and a veneer of legitimacy. You are an active part of the problem when you do.

      If you’re just going to copy and paste from an NPR article, you might as well provide a link while you’re at it.
