A federal judge has prohibited the Department of Finance from sharing data from its payment system with external parties, which thwarted Elon Musk’s attempt to reduce U.S. government spending. Following the court’s decision, developer Marko Elez, employed at the Department of Finance, resigned due to racist comments on social media. Musk’s team had access to the system with sensitive financial data, but Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly temporarily barred the sharing of information outside the Department. The decision comes amid legal challenges.
