Judge May Block Musk Crew from Education Data Dive

A federal judge in Washington is about to play referee in a tussle involving Elon Musk and the Education Department. Musk’s cost-slicing crew, fresh off the corporate chopping block, axed 89 contracts and 29 grants related to diversity and equity training. Sounds like diversity got the boot!

On the docket this Tuesday? A legal bid aiming to prevent Musk and his pals from diving into the Education Department’s data puddles. Privacy concerns are the name of the game, especially with students’ private info hanging around like an uninvited guest.

For the past week, Musk’s squad, dubbed the Department of Government Efficiency (yes, that’s a title filled with optimism), has been cozying up in the Education Department’s top-floor digs in Washington. They’ve even snagged a spot in the agency’s staff directory. Talk about infiltrating the bureaucracy!

Elon Musk’s team has cut numerous contracts and grants related to diversity training. A federal judge will consider a lawsuit aimed at restricting Musk’s access to Education Department data due to privacy concerns. Musk’s team has been working from the top floor of the Education Department for over a week.
