Elon Musk’s Doge Faces Legal Setback as Treasury Data Access Gets Temporarily Blocked

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency faced legal and personnel challenges Thursday. A federal judge temporarily barred the Treasury Department from sharing payment system data and a key staffer resigned over racist social media posts. Treasury reassured the court that only two Doge emissaries had access to the system, but the judge restricted data sharing while considering a permanent injunction. Musk is barred from accessing data from the payments system.
