BREAKING: Judge Blocks Elon Musk’s ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ from Accessing Treasury Data
In a stunning legal twist, a U.S. district judge has reined in Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing sensitive financial records from the U.S. Treasury. The injunction prevents Musk’s team from obtaining private details like Social Security numbers and bank account information linked to millions of Americans.
The explosive ruling follows a lawsuit led by 19 Democratic attorneys general, who accuse Musk’s group of trying to illegally infiltrate the Treasury’s payments infrastructure—the foundation for crucial federal transactions, including tax refunds and veterans’ benefits. New York Attorney General Letitia James has sounded the alarm, warning of potential government payments chaos.
With privacy concerns at an all-time high, all eyes are now on the next court hearing scheduled for February 14. The outcome could shake government operations and redefine public confidence in financial security. Stay tuned as this high-stakes battle unfolds.
