united states federal judge blocks Elon Musk’s DOGE team from accessing critical Treasury payment systems

The viral claim that the team was cracking down on wasteful spending turned out to be false—the judge found no evidence of fraud and called the operation a massive overreach, prompting outrage among cybersecurity experts.
