Elon Musk’s DOGE Team Hits Snag: Court Blocks Access to US Treasury Systems!

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) finds itself in hot water, with access to US Treasury payment systems restricted after a lawsuit. Accusations include sysadmin-level access and pushing code to block payments. The court stepped in with a restraining order, leaving DOGE with read-only status and serious questions.

Hot Take:

Who knew that when Elon Musk was talking about “dogecoin to the moon,” he was actually referring to his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) launching a full-scale mission into the US Treasury’s payment systems? With sysadmin-level access and a penchant for pushing code faster than you can say “privacy violation,” it’s safe to say that the DOGE team is barking up the wrong tree this time!

Key Points:

  • Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had its access to US Treasury payment systems limited by a federal court order.
  • The order restricts access to read-only privileges for two DOGE aides.
  • Concerns were raised over potential privacy violations involving sensitive personal and financial data.
  • The lawsuit argues Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent unlawfully granted access to DOGE affiliates.
  • A preliminary injunction hearing is scheduled, with the court reviewing whether to extend the restraining order.
