  • Billionaire Elon Musk appears to have overstepped his executive branch authority with his Department of Government Efficiency, a federal judge said Tuesday as he indefinitely blocked the dismantling of USAID.

A federal judge has ruled that Elon Musk, in his capacity as a private citizen, overstepped his authority by attempting to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The judge's decision highlighted that Musk's actions were likely unconstitutional, as they infringed upon the separation of powers by interfering with the operations of a federal agency. The case arose from Musk's public statements and actions suggesting he could unilaterally influence or terminate USAID's functions, which the court found to be beyond the legal bounds of any private individual's power. This ruling underscores the limits of private influence over governmental operations and reaffirms the constitutional framework governing federal agencies.
