Judge Allows Lawsuit Against Elon Musk and DOGE to Proceed

A U.S. district court has allowed a lawsuit to proceed that alleges Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency are illegally exercising power over federal operations, with Musk's role as a special government employee being a key issue. The case, filed by Democratic state attorneys general, challenges Musk's authority to make decisions on federal expenditures and agency operations without congressional approval. Musk's influence and the legal questions surrounding his role continue to be scrutinized, with the court dismissing Trump as a defendant but allowing the case against Musk to move forward.
