What recent legal victory did Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency achieve regarding data access?
A US judge has temporarily refused to block Elon Musk's team (DOGE) from accessing Education Department's student data, marking a small but substantial legal victory for the billionaire. This decision comes amid ongoing legal challenges where Musk's government efficiency initiative has become surrounded by lawsuits, particularly from Democratic states attempting to restrict the team's data access capabilities. The ruling specifically pertains to educational data access and represents an important early win for Musk in his role as a senior advisor within the Trump administration, despite not having formal authority. This temporary relief in at least one of the lawsuits allows DOGE to continue its work examining government spending and efficiency in the education sector.
