A federal judge has ruled against Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), blocking its access to personal data at the Social Security Administration (SSA). U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander accused DOGE of conducting a 'fishing expedition' without proper justification. The ruling emphasized potential violations of federal privacy laws and raised cybersecurity concerns. Initially granted access, DOGE had staff members able to view sensitive information, including Social Security numbers and medical records. The ruling aims to protect the privacy of millions of Americans.
