New York, February 7, 2025: Thirteen U.S. states, including New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, plan to sue Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) over its access to federal payment systems. Led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, the lawsuit argues that DOGE’s involvement poses security risks and could disrupt payments for programs like Social Security and Medicare.
The states claim DOGE’s access is unlawful and endangers taxpayer data, accusing Musk of overstepping into government operations. Musk denies the allegations, stating DOGE is saving taxpayers millions. The legal battle is expected to intensify.
