  The billionaire's DOGE team has launched an all-out assault on federal agencies, triggering numerous legal objections.

The article from MSN discusses concerns raised by U.S. government officials regarding Elon Musk's management of X Corp, formerly known as Twitter. According to the report, officials from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) have privately expressed that Musk's rapid changes to the platform, including significant layoffs and alterations to content moderation policies, might violate existing consent decrees and potentially break federal laws. These concerns stem from Musk's aggressive cost-cutting measures and his approach to free speech on the platform, which some officials believe could lead to increased misinformation and hate speech. The scrutiny comes in the context of ongoing investigations into X Corp's compliance with privacy and security obligations, with fears that the company's current trajectory could undermine user safety and data protection.
