Tesla CEO Elon Musk's government efficiency team has been temporarily blocked from accessing certain government systems, according to a federal judge's ruling on Saturday.
U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer issued the ruling after a group of attorneys general sued Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on Friday, arguing that the presidential commission does not have the right to access U.S. Department of Treasury systems.
The order was condemned by Musk, who called the decision "absolutely insane" in an X post.
"How on Earth are we supposed to stop fraud and waste of taxpayer money without looking at how money is spent?"
