Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has requested access to sensitive IRS taxpayer data, including Social Security numbers and bank account information. This move has raised significant concerns among state attorneys general, who argue that such access poses cybersecurity risks and violates federal laws. In response, a federal judge has temporarily blocked DOGE from accessing these records while considering a preliminary injunction. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing legal challenges and debates over the balance between government efficiency and data privacy.
