Fourteen states led by New Mexico sued the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, on Thursday challenging the alleged “unlawful delegation of executive power to Elon Musk” they say has unraveled federal agencies and “caused widespread disruption”—as criticism of Elon Musk’s increasingly powerful agency builds.

Democrats are not happy with Musk and DOGE’s access to federal data. To that end, they have filed a lawsuit calling the billionaire an “agent of chaos” in the federal government. They say the billionaire has been given virtually unchecked authority without proper legal authorization and supervision of his authority.

DOGE's chaotic effort to purge workers from the U.S. government echoes Elon Musk's early days at Twitter, only with much higher stakes.
