A coalition of 14 U.S. states has sued the federal government, arguing that Elon Musk's appointment as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is unconstitutional. Led by New Mexico, the lawsuit claims Musk’s role bypasses Senate confirmation, violating the Appointments Clause. Attorneys general allege Musk has unlawfully accessed sensitive government data and implemented sweeping changes without oversight. Labeling him a "designated agent of chaos," the plaintiffs seek to block his directives and prevent further unauthorized actions, raising concerns over executive overreach and the legitimacy of his position.
