What led to the resignations of top officials at government agencies and how did the courts respond to challenges against Musk's data access?

Top officials at the Social Security Administration and Treasury Department resigned after Elon Musk's staff demanded access to sensitive information about millions of Americans. When challenged legally, a federal judge refused to immediately block Musk's team from accessing government data systems, stating that while there are legitimate questions about the unchecked authority of an unelected individual, the states who sued failed to demonstrate irreparable harm. The situation has raised significant concerns among Democrats and critics who argue there is insufficient oversight of this access to sensitive government data. The judge's ruling highlights the tension between government efficiency initiatives and the protection of sensitive information when private sector figures are granted access to federal data systems.
