Trump illegally appointed Elon Musk to head DOGE

A group of state attorneys general, including New Mexico, filed a lawsuit claiming President Donald Trump illegally appointed Elon Musk to head the Department of Government Efficiency without Congressional authorization.
The lawsuit seeks to bar Musk from taking government action and alleges he was given unchecked legal authority.
U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer will decide on extending a temporary block preventing Musk's team from accessing sensitive Treasury Department systems.
The states argue Musk's position could disrupt federal funding for various programs and contend that Trump has delegated authority without proper legal backing.
