U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan refused to immediately block Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency from accessing government data systems or participating in worker layoffs.

The decision came in a lawsuit filed by 14 Democratic states challenging DOGE 's authority to access sensitive government data.

The attorneys general argued Musk is wielding the kind of power that the Constitution says can only be held by those who are elected or confirmed by the Senate .
