A federal judge on Monday determined a lawsuit against Elon Musk for his former advisory role in the Trump administration’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can move forward.
US District Judge Tanya Chutkan issued a memo Monday tossing out a dismissal request from the federal government, stating the claims that Musk and other DOGE leaders unlawfully assumed an expansive role in the federal government can play out in court.
The plaintiffs, a group of nonprofit organizations, “amply allege that the head of DOGE himself makes decisions and issues directives on matters as weighty as the termination of federal grants, contracts and workers,” Chutkan wrote.
The nonprofit organizations first filed the suit last March as the Tesla CEO, then serving as a special government employee from the Trump administration, led a team in initiating mass firings and contract and grant terminations across the federal government.
