Overview
A federal judge has upheld a temporary order preventing Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing sensitive Treasury data as part of ongoing lawsuits from 19 states. The judge's decision came during a hearing where concerns over cybersecurity risks were raised, with attorneys general claiming Musk's access could lead to a breach of personal data. The states argue that allowing DOGE to access records could endanger millions of Americans, prompting fears of potential misuse of data. A follow-up ruling is anticipated shortly, as the case progresses in the courts.
