Musk backs workforce cut
Elon Musk had visited the White House for the signing of an executive order aimed at downsizing the federal workforce.
The move is expected to have a major impact on various government agencies and has already sparked legal challenges.
Defending the decision, Musk stated that the cuts reflect public demand for change. "The people voted for major government reform, and that's what the people are going to get," he said.
Trump praised Musk as a key voice in efforts to reduce costs.
Meanwhile, New York Attorney General Letitia James, along with 18 other Democratic state attorneys general, has filed a lawsuit challenging a federal agency's access to Treasury data, arguing it oversteps legal boundaries.
In response, US District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer issued an emergency order blocking access until the case is resolved.
Frustrated by the ruling, Musk took to social media, calling it "absolutely insane."
