Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford has once again decided to put politics over the people.
Instead of focusing on real problems facing Nevadans – like crime, the economy, and the border crisis – he’s busy using taxpayer money to attack Elon Musk and block President Trump’s agenda.
Ford recently announced that Nevada has joined a lawsuit against the Trump administration over the appointment of Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

His argument? That Musk, a successful businessman who has revolutionized multiple industries, somehow has “unconstitutional” authority.
But here’s the thing: Voters overwhelmingly backed Trump and his plans to clean up Washington.
This isn’t about the rule of law; it’s about Ford – positioning himself to run for governor in 2026 – and other liberal activists trying to stop Trump from doing what the people elected him to do.
Wasting Time, Wasting Money
Nevada’s families are struggling with high inflation, skyrocketing housing costs, and an out-of-control border.
But instead of tackling these issues, Ford is teaming up with Democrat-run states like California and Oregon to sue the federal government over a made-up problem.
How much is this legal circus costing taxpayers? He won’t say.
But rest assured, while Nevada families are tightening their belts, Ford is happy to waste your hard-earned money on political stunts.
Meanwhile, Trump is doing what he promised – cutting government waste and making Washington work for the people, not the bureaucrats.
Musk’s role in DOGE is simple: bring efficiency to a bloated federal government. And who better than the man who built Tesla, SpaceX, and other billion-dollar enterprises?
But that’s exactly what scares the D.C. swamp. If government actually starts working, Ford and his liberal allies lose their power.
Ignoring Nevada’s Real Problems
Ford wants Nevadans to believe this is about constitutional law. But let’s look at the facts.
Under Ford’s watch, Nevada has seen crime rise in major cities, businesses struggle with endless regulations, and schools fail our kids.
Where are the lawsuits against Biden’s disastrous border policies that have made Nevada a hotspot for illegal immigration? Where is the legal action against radical policies that drive businesses out of our state?
Nowhere. Because Ford is too busy trying to score political points against Trump.
What Critics Are Saying
Some liberal commentators argue that Musk shouldn’t be in government because he’s a businessman, not a politician.
But that’s exactly why Americans want him there. Government doesn’t need more bureaucrats – it needs leadership from people who know how to get things done.
Even worse, Ford isn’t acting alone.
He’s joined by attorneys general from California, New York, and other deep-blue states who have made it their mission to obstruct Trump at every turn.
It’s no surprise – the same people who called Trump “illegitimate” are now panicking because he’s following through on his promise to drain the swamp.
Nevada Deserves Better
Ford’s priorities are completely out of touch with what Nevadans need.
People in our state don’t wake up worrying about Elon Musk’s job title. They worry about affording groceries, keeping their communities safe, and making sure their kids get a decent education.
Every dollar Ford spends on this ridiculous lawsuit is a dollar that could be going to fight crime, improve our schools, or help struggling businesses.
The people of Nevada didn’t vote for Ford to be an activist. They voted for him to do his job.
It’s time he stopped playing political games and started working for the people who pay his salary. Until then, Nevadans should remember his misplaced priorities when he’s up for re-election.
