Musk leads Dogeo to aggressively reduce government waste when it comes to federal consumption under the president Donald Trump. It was created by an executive command and is a temporary organization in the White House, which will spend 18 months implementing its mission.
The group faced criticism for its approach to federal systems, including the cash register payment system, as well as moves to cancel federal contracts and reduce reduction in various agencies. General lawyers from 14 countries complain to block Doge to approach federal data, claiming that Musk and Trump administration have included in illegally excessively re -examination.
The newly formed Cost Reduction Agency achieved a win on Friday when the federal referee in Washington rejected the request in order to temporarily block the accession of sensitive data from the Department of Work, Health and Human Services and the Financial Consumption Office.
