What happened to Michelle King at the Social Security Administration and who replaced her?

Michelle King, a top official at the Social Security Administration, resigned after a conflict with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency over requests for sensitive data including Americans' Social Security numbers and earnings records. Following her departure, President Trump appointed Leland Dudic, who previously managed the Social Security's anti-fraud office, as the acting commissioner of the SSA. This leadership change occurs amid ongoing legal challenges, with a federal judge in Washington, D.C. potentially issuing a decision that could limit Musk's team from accessing government systems and firing federal employees. The case was brought by more than a dozen state attorneys general, though Judge Tanya Chutkin has indicated she might not immediately restrict Musk's activities.
