A judge ruled that a lawsuit against Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can move forward, claiming they may be illegally wielding power over federal operations. Judge Tanya Chutkan denied a motion to dismiss the case but dismissed President Trump as a defendant. The lawsuit, led by Democratic state attorneys general, alleges that Musk, acting as a special government employee, has powers similar to Cabinet officials, thus raising concerns over constitutional violations in relation to federal authority and expenditures.
"At this stage, States plausibly allege that Musk makes decisions about 'federal expenditures, contracts, government property, and the very existence of federal agencies,'" Chutkan wrote.
Torrez added: "We are proud to move this case forward and help bring Elon Musk's reign of terror to an end."
