I am legit curious, the department did not exist prior to the inauguration, it needs to be legalized first, with new laws and regulations that give it actual power, no?
So how can they sue it the second after the inauguration of the new president?
Or does it magically get legal power and existence because 2 citizens (musk and trump) say so?
Not sure what the regulations are in the US for DMs but I would think/assume it falls under private communication, let alone the mail-privacy laws and that it may not be tampered with or exposed to the public by 3rd parties.
And in this case Musk seems to be a 3rd party, he'd like to claim ownership of any DMs on "his" platform ofcourse but DMs do have a nature of private communication between two parties.
So uhm yeah Elon, tell us about all those gunshot holes in your feet....

He/they will just say she lied and falsely accused him and that should be investigated/prosecuted.
Where the case originally was held won't matter then.

They must snuff out all glowing embers that show data of Trump on a losing track this election, so nothing flares up that can show doubt about the legitimacy of the win ....
