Fourteen states have filed a federal lawsuit alleging that the "sweeping authority" wielded by DOGE head Elon Musk is in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Summary

Fourteen states sued the Trump administration over Elon Musk’s role as head of DOGE, arguing his authority violates the Constitution.

The lawsuit, led by New Mexico, claims Musk wields unchecked power to cut agencies and budgets without Senate confirmation, making him a “principal officer” under the Appointments Clause.

Another lawsuit by USAID employees raises similar concerns.

Judges have already blocked some DOGE actions, but the White House defends Musk’s role as legal.
