Elon Musk’s latest gig—slashing government fat as part of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—is hitting a snag. A group of federal workers filed a lawsuit today, claiming Musk’s demand to justify their jobs (remember that “what did you do last week” email?) violates their rights. “He’s treating us like Tesla assembly line workers,” one plaintiff fumed. Musk, unfazed, doubled down on X, calling it “time to drain the swamp.” With 21 DOGE staffers already quitting over his plans, this fight’s exposing the chaos of Trump’s efficiency crusade. Will the courts clip Musk’s wings, or is this just the start of a federal overhaul?
