A federal judge has rejected Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) motion to dismiss a lawsuit alleging illegal access to government data, contract cancellations, and employee firings. Fourteen states, led by their attorneys general, claim constitutional violations. While the judge dismissed President Trump from the suit, she allowed the claims against Musk and DOGE to proceed, citing concerns over Musk's authority and the legality of DOGE's creation. A previous request for a temporary restraining order was denied.
