US judge allows lawsuit against Musk and DOGE to proceed

The lawsuit alleges that Musk, as a special government employee, has been given powers similar to those of Senate-confirmed Cabinet officials.

The plaintiffs argue that he makes decisions about federal expenditures, contracts, government property, and even the existence of federal agencies.

They claim Trump violated the Appointments Clause of the Constitution by giving Musk and DOGE broad authority to carry out mass layoffs, terminate grants and contracts, and access crucial government data, without congressional approval.
