A coalition of over a dozen U.S. states, led by 13 Democratic attorneys general from states like California and New York, is set to file a lawsuit against Elon Musk’s team, known as DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency). They aim to block access to sensitive federal payment systems containing personal information of millions of Americans.
The coalition emphasizes their commitment to protecting the Constitution and the privacy rights of citizens, especially as Musk’s team gains control over critical government departments, including the U.S. Treasury and the Department of Health and Human Services. Concerns have been raised about potential national security risks, particularly due to Musk’s business ties in China.
While the U.S. lacks comprehensive data protection laws, individual states have established regulations to safeguard their residents’ information. The lawsuit’s specifics, including timing and court details, remain unclear.
