  • A federal judge said 14 states had failed to show DOGE's access to government systems would cause irreparable harm.

The article discusses a recent court hearing involving Elon Musk and his company X Corp, where a federal judge in San Francisco expressed concerns over Musk's "unchecked authority" but declined to block access to X (formerly known as Twitter) at federal agencies. The lawsuit was filed by X Corp against the U.S. government, challenging restrictions placed on the platform following Musk's acquisition. These restrictions included limiting access to X on government devices due to security concerns. During the hearing, Judge Breyer highlighted the potential overreach of Musk's control over X but noted that the government's actions were within their rights to secure their systems. The judge's decision not to intervene means that for now, federal agencies can continue to restrict access to X on their devices, despite Musk's legal challenge.
