Elon Musk’s digital currency project DOGE (DOGE) has faced legal setbacks in its attempt to access U.S. Social Security data, with a federal court blocking their request. The court deemed DOGE’s application for access as “fishing expedition” based on vague suspicions regarding fraudulent activity. _________________________. This action came after DOGE, led by Elon Musk and Antonio Gracias, sought access to the Social Security Administration’s data claiming widespread fraud. However, these claims have been challenged and questioned by experts. The group’s use of alleged immigrant-issued Social Security numbers as evidence has faced scrutiny from Senator Elizabeth Warren. _________________________. The court ruling forced DOGE team members to delete sensitive information obtained. It highlights legal constraints and raises concerns regarding data privacy, government authority, and the oversight of temporary government agencies. The incident underscores the need for clear regulations surrounding such entities and their access to sensitive data.
