The Elite Lawyers Working for Elon Musk’s DOGE Include Former Supreme Court Clerks
Much attention has been paid to the young Silicon Valley engineers working for Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, but the group has also hired high-powered legal talent.
You're viewing a single thread.
"ProPublica has identified three lawyers with elite establishment credentials who have also joined the DOGE effort.
Two are former Supreme Court clerks — one clerked for Chief Justice John Roberts, another for Justice Neil Gorsuch — and the third has been selected to be a Gorsuch clerk for the 2025-2026 term."
Clerks of the same Supreme Court Judges that issued the immunity ruling.
In itself, that doesn't mean much. Being a Supreme Court clerk is a hotly contested job for young law school grads. If you're offered one, you aren't going to be picky about who your boss will be.
Obviously, they had a lot more choice to work with Musk or not.
lol, you don’t go right from law school to a SCOTUS clerk. You need a lot more experience. Most have clerked for prestigious judges or held multiple respected clerk positions before they get to SCOTUS
