The lawsuit is in response to the Treasury Department allowing Elon Musk and DOGE officials to access sensitive payment systems containing people's personal identifying information, state attorneys general said.
"As the richest man in the world, Elon Musk is not used to being told 'no,' but in our country, no one is above the law. The president does not have the power to give away our private information to anyone he chooses, and he cannot cut federal payments approved by Congress," New York Attorney General Letitia James said.
