A coalition of over a dozen U.S. states plans to file a lawsuit to block Elon Musk's team from accessing federal government payment systems with personal data on Americans.
The coalition of states, including California, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, and New York, will file the lawsuit to defend privacy rights and essential funding.
Elon Musk's team gained access to top U.S. government departments and datasets, including personal information of millions of Americans who receive Social Security checks and tax returns.
Musk's access to sensitive federal data is seen as a risk to national security, and the lawsuit seeks relief from this access.
