Elon Musk's DOGE blocked from accessing Labor Department data in stunning win for unions
A federal judge temporarily blocked Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from accessing Labor Department data, marking a major win for unions.
Summary
A federal judge temporarily blocked Elon Musk from accessing sensitive Labor Department data, a major win for unions concerned about worker privacy.
The lawsuit, filed by federal employee unions, argued that DOGE’s demands posed a threat to labor rights.
Union leaders praised the decision as a safeguard against government overreach.
DOGE has also faced restrictions on Treasury Department access and has taken control of USAID and the Office of Personnel Management, sparking high-profile resignations.
You're viewing a single thread.
Finally a judge with spine. Musk’s data-grubbing circus hits a wall as unions claw back crumbs of dignity from his corporate vultures. DOGE’s “mission” was always just surveillance cosplay—now they’re caught red-handed trying to vacuum up worker DNA under the noble guise of “efficiency.”
Meanwhile, Treasury’s slamming doors while USAID and OPM get strip-mined in Musk’s fire sale of democracy. Those high-profile resignations? Smartest career move since rats fled the Titanic.
The real win? Watching billionaire tantrums when someone says “no” to their data-hoarding octopus arms. Next target: his Mars colonization tax dodge.
