States Sue Trump, Musk Over Alleged Unconstitutional Power Grab

A coalition of 14 states filed a lawsuit on Thursday against Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, arguing that the authority granted to Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) by the White House is unconstitutional.

The suit, filed by Democratic attorneys general from states like Arizona, Michigan and Rhode Island, takes aim at the magnitude and scale of Musk’s power, noting that DOGE has led the Trump administration’s efforts to dramatically reduce the size of the federal workforce, dismantle entire agencies and access sensitive data, NBCNews reported.

“The founders of this country would be outraged that, 250 years after our nation overthrew a king, the people of this country—many of whom have fought and died to protect our freedoms—are now subject to the whims of a single unelected billionaire,” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a statement.
