💨 Abstract

A federal judge has temporarily restrained Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency team from accessing a critical Treasury Department payment system, citing potential "irreparable harm." The judge's order, issued on February 6, halted access to a system that distributes tax returns, Social Security benefits, disability payments, and federal employee salaries. The judge also ordered the destruction of any downloaded information from the system since January 20.
