• Tesla CEO Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been temporarily blocked from accessing certain government systems due to concerns raised by a federal judge, who noted the efficacy of the legal claims brought forth by Democratic attorneys general.
• Musk has condemned the ruling, describing it as 'absolutely insane' and argued that access to Treasury records is essential to combating fraud and ensuring transparency in government spending, stating, 'How on Earth are we supposed to stop fraud and waste of taxpayer money without looking at how money is spent?'
• In response to the legal challenges, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has defended DOGE, asserting that the initiative aims to improve accountability and traceability in spending, while calling attention to the discomfort expressed by those invested in the 'status quo' of government operations.
