Elon Musk's DOGE team blocked from using student data after legal battle over privacy violations
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team has been temporarily blocked from accessing student data by the US Department of Education following privacy concerns. The decision, stemming from a lawsuit filed by California college students, prevents DOGE from viewing federal student aid records until at least February 16, 2025. The case highlights privacy violations and sparks debate over the influence of private-sector efforts in public education systems, with further hearings scheduled soon.
