Summary

The Department of Government Efficiency is facing legal challenges as it attempts to investigate the U.S. Treasury.

It goes back to the Obama administration, which established not only its legality, but also its deep reach into the networks of government agencies.

And on this, Musk is alleging that DOGE has already uncovered large-scale abuse of the social security system.
