Democratic attorneys general from 14 U.S. states have filed a lawsuit against Musk and Trump.
The attorneys general claim that Trump violated the Constitution's Appointments Clause by creating DOGE, an informal government agency, without congressional approval and granting Musk sweeping powers without a Senate hearing.
The states suing want a court order preventing Musk from making changes to government funding, terminating federal employee contracts, and more.
The lawsuit is the latest in a series of lawsuits against the Trump administration over DOGE. A group of government employees filed a lawsuit Thursday seeking to bar Musk and DOGE from accessing sensitive data and from his authority to fire federal employees "until Musk's appointment is properly confirmed under the U.S. Constitution."
