US Treasury Sued for Allowing Elon Musk’s D.O.G.E. Access to Data

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.) accessed sensitive US Treasury data, leading to a lawsuit from the American Federation of Labor (AFL-CIO). The lawsuit alleges illegal disclosure of personal and financial information by the Treasury to D.O.G.E.

The AFL-CIO filed the lawsuit on February 3 in Washington DC.
The union claims D.O.G.E. has systematic access to private data of individuals.
The payments system includes Social Security numbers, names, addresses, and bank account information of millions.
Concerns were raised by US Senator Ron Wyden about D.O.G.E.'s access following a complaint regarding this access.

D.O.G.E. has proposed measures for improved governance and reducing inflation since the new administration began.
Top Democrats, including Chuck Schumer and Elizabeth Warren, criticized D.O.G.E.'s operations and access.
Schumer plans to introduce measures to restrict D.O.G.E.'s involvement in Treasury systems.
Warren warned that Musk could misuse access to sensitive information.
