U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled Tuesday that 14 states can proceed with their claims against Elon Musk and DOGE .

The states, through their attorneys general, sued in February over the defendants’ alleged constitutional violations.

The plaintiffs’ attorneys argued that Musk ’s actions are unconstitutional because he hasn’t been legally appointed.

The Trump administration has maintained that layoffs are coming from agency heads.
