  • A federal judge early Saturday blocked Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from accessing Treasury Department records that contain sensitive personal data such as Social Security and bank account numbers for millions of Americans.

A federal judge has issued an order preventing Elon Musk's company, X Corp, from accessing sensitive materials from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This decision stems from a lawsuit where X Corp, formerly known as Twitter, sought records related to the Treasury's communications with other social media platforms about content moderation.
