Why did Michelle King, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, resign?

Michelle King resigned from her position at the Social Security Administration due to a dispute over sensitive data access. According to sources familiar with her resignation, Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team requested access to highly sensitive information including bank details, Social Security numbers, birth dates, and medical records of Americans. Rather than complying with these requests to release such private government documents, King chose to retire. She refused to grant Musk's team access to this sensitive information, effectively protecting the personal data of millions of Americans from potential exposure or misuse.
