  • A U.S. judge has rejected a bid to bar the government downsizing team created by President Donald Trump and spearheaded by billionaire Elon Musk from accessing internal systems in the U.S. Department of Education that house federal student financial aid information concerning millions of Americans.

A federal judge has ruled that Elon Musk's legal team can access the U.S. Department of Education's systems to investigate claims that the department retaliated against Musk's companies, Tesla and SpaceX, following his criticisms of the Biden administration. The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by Musk, who alleges that the Department of Education initiated investigations into his companies after he publicly questioned the administration's policies. The access granted to Musk's team includes reviewing documents and communications related to the investigations, aiming to uncover any potential bias or improper conduct by the Department.
