Federal workers sue Elon Musk and DOGE to cut off data access
Federal workers are suing DOGE and its creator, Elon Musk to cut off the new agency's access to their personal data.
The lawsuit alleges that DOGE obtaining OPM records violated the Privacy Act, which prohibits improper access to personal data, including across federal agencies. It calls out 19-year-old DOGE worker Edward Coristine, who reportedly went by “Big Balls” online, for being fired from a cybersecurity firm after an internal probe into data leaks during his employment. The suit also alleges that DOGE’s access to federal worker data could spark harmful professional consequences for them, noting that Musk and President Trump have threatened to fire employees viewed as disloyal.
