A federal judge has blocked Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) from accessing the personal financial data of millions of Americans in Treasury Department records, according to court documents.

US District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer issued a preliminary injunction on Saturday to prohibit access, ordering Musk and his team to immediately destroy any copies of records.

The move comes after 19 state attorneys general sued the Trump administration after Doge, a cost-cutting initiative led by Musk, was given access to the records.

They argued access for Musk, a "special government employee", and Doge, which is not an official government department, violated federal law.

The injunction restricts anyone else from accessing those records other than civil servants who need to do so for their work at the Bureau of Fiscal Services and have passed background checks.

The judge further ordered any person among those restricted to immediately destroy copies of records.

The conditions will remain in place until the next court hearing on 14 February.

I REALLY wish reporters at Trump's press conferences would always refer to Musk as "Acting President Musk". It would be both true, while at the same time greatly peeving off Trump. I don't think Musk would last long after that.

Trumplethinskin was not happy when a reporter asked him about the Time cover with Musk sitting at the Resolute Desk. He replied after waiting for his Japanese guests translator to finish her translation of the question so the dignitary would understand, that he didn't know that Time was still a magazine. That must explain why he loves his Time covers so much he even makes them up.
