Elon Musk Sued for Running DOGE By 14 State Lawyers

Seems like the panic just keeps growing on the Left.

14 state attorneys general have filed a lawsuit to stop Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

They’re accusing him of wielding “virtually unchecked power” and accessing sensitive government data.

After all, they don’t like competition. The Left, that is.

The lawsuit argues that Musk’s actions should be reserved for Senate-confirmed officials, not tech moguls! (Unless it’s Jeff Bezos or Jack Dorsey (previous Twitter owner) or Mark Zuckerberg)

The AGs, in short, are telling Musk to stop messing up the Left’s grift.

Also, notice how the news agencies and everyone on the Left now referring to Elon Musk as “billionaire” instead of X CEO or Tesla CEO or entrepreneur.

There’s a reason for this; trying to stir up jealousy and get the financially struggling population to focus their ire on Musk.

These people are insidious.

AP News reports:

Attorneys general from 14 states challenged the authority of billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency to access sensitive government data and exercise “virtually unchecked power” in a lawsuit filed Thursday.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., says the actions taken by Musk at the helm of DOGE can only be taken by a nominated and Senate-confirmed official. It sites constitutional provisions that delineate the powers of Congress and the president.

The attorneys general said the court should bar Musk from issuing orders to anyone in the executive branch outside DOGE and declare that his actions have no legal effect.

They asked the court to order Musk to identify ways that “any data obtained through unlawful agency access was used,” destroy “such unauthorized access in his or DOGE’s possession” and bar Musk and DOGE from ordering changes in the disbursement of public funds, canceling government contracts, taking steps to dismantle agencies and more.

“We are asking the court to invalidate his directives and actions and to issue a restraining order,” Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said during an online news conference alongside attorneys general from Arizona and New Mexico.

The DOGE War is real.

CBS News reports:

A lawsuit filed on Thursday by attorneys general from 14 states challenges the authority of billionaire Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency to access sensitive government data and exercise “virtually unchecked power.”

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., argues President Trump violated the appointments clause of the Constitution by creating a federal department without congressional approval.

DOGE, which isn’t an official government agency, was tasked by Mr. Trump to produce recommendations on trimming federal outlays, with billionaires Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, before he departed, saying they aimed to cut about $500 billion in annual expenditures.

Musk’s team has roamed from agency to agency, tapping into computer systems, digging into budgets and searching for what he calls waste, fraud and abuse, while lawsuits pile up claiming Mr. Trump and DOGE are violating the law.

So much panicking.
