Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has received approval from the Department of Labor to use software that could allow it to transfer vast amounts of data out of Labor ’s systems.

The approval for DOGE to use the file-transfer and remote access software, known as PuTTY, has alarmed some Labor Department employees.

A federal judge issued a restraining order Saturday temporarily forbidding DogE’S access to sensitive Treasury data, a case that does not involve Labor Department .

The Labor Department’s databases likely include information about Musk 's own companies such as SpaceX and Tesla .

Musk has said that DOGE needs access to federal data in order to search for waste, fraud and abuse.

The Justice Department lawyers wrote in response to the lawsuit that any allegations about transferring data were speculative.
