More than 100 current and former federal workers have filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency, the agency he oversees, for allegedly accessing highly sensitive personnel records without proper authorization. The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday in the Southern District of New York, was brought by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and other privacy groups on behalf of 103 workers and several government worker unions.

According to the plaintiffs, the records were accessed without adequate vetting, raising serious privacy and security concerns. The lawsuit claims that Musk and his agency violated federal privacy laws, potentially impacting the lives and careers of the affected workers.

This legal action has sparked intense debate over privacy rights and data security within federal agencies. Neither Musk nor the Department of Government Efficiency has publicly commented on the lawsuit yet.

As the case unfolds, it will be closely watched for its implications on government transparency and the protection of sensitive personal information.
