Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) faces heightened scrutiny as Democratic lawmakers demand a Treasury inquiry into its access to government payment systems, citing potential threats to privacy and economic stability. The ongoing investigations coincide with mounting legal challenges, including a lawsuit from labor unions seeking to block DOGE's access to sensitive labor department data. Additionally, a judge has restricted DOGE's access to Treasury payment systems amid fears of data misuse. The recent resignation of a staffer associated with racist social media posts further complicates the situation, fueling calls for accountability within the controversial initiative.
