Musk Faces Legal Challenges Over Social Security Policies, Data Access

Elon Musk is facing significant legal challenges related to his role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its actions affecting the Social Security Administration (SSA). Disability rights groups have filed a lawsuit claiming that cuts to the SSA, including the firing of about 7,000 employees, disproportionately harm beneficiaries with disabilities and violate their constitutional rights. Meanwhile, a federal court has imposed a temporary restraining order preventing DOGE from accessing sensitive SSA data, which Musk's team had sought to use for proposed cuts. On a related note, Musk stirred controversy during a livestream by suggesting that an arrest related to Social Security fraud would occur soon, a claim that has frustrated law enforcement officials. As these legal battles unfold, Musk has also dismissed rumors about leaving his government role to focus on Tesla, despite ongoing concerns about the company's delivery performance. The implications of these controversies could have lasting effects on both Musk's ventures and the provision of social services.
