  • "And since Elon Musk is not nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate, he doesn't have the authority to fire." The post Judge Napolitano Explains On Newsmax Why Elon Musk And DOGE Lack 'the Authority' to Fire Federal Workers first appeared on Mediaite.

The article discusses Judge Andrew Napolitano's appearance on Newsmax where he commented on the situation involving Elon Musk and Dogecoin, particularly focusing on the lack of authority of private individuals or entities like Musk to fire federal workers. Napolitano explained that only the President of the United States has the constitutional power to hire and fire federal employees, as these powers are derived from the executive authority granted by the Constitution. He highlighted that while Musk, as a private citizen, can influence public opinion or policy through his actions or statements, he does not possess the legal authority to directly affect the employment status of federal workers. This discussion was in the context of broader conversations about the influence of high-profile individuals in politics and governance, emphasizing the separation of powers and the limitations of private sector influence over government operations.
