Judge Partly Unleashes Musk’s DOGE: One Staffer Gains Access to Sensitive US Treasury Data

Judge Vargas has lifted part of an injunction against Elon Musk’s DOGE unit, allowing a staffer access to sensitive US Treasury systems. This decision follows concerns about DOGE’s chaotic approach and unencrypted email mishaps. While only one staffer is cleared, it marks a small win for Musk’s cost-trimming crusade.
