US judge temporarily refuses to block Elon Musk’s government efficiency team from accessing Education Department student data. The University of California Student Association had sought to block DOGE from accessing students’ data including social security numbers, loans and tax information. The drive by Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to slash outgoings deemed wasteful or contrary to US President Donald Trump’s policies has run up against multiple legal challenges. The Tesla, SpaceX and X chief ran into controversy this month when he and his team tried accessing sensitive Treasury Department data. An internal assessment from the Treasury called the DOGe team’s access to federal payment systems \”the single biggest insider threat the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS) has ever faced\” US media reported citing unnamed sources. The Social Security Administration chief quit on Monday over DOGEs requests to access Social Security recipient information, according to US media reports. The order allows both sides time to gather more evidence about Musk’s handling of the data, before Judge Moss rules on whether to allow the lawsuit to advance.
