Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford Joins Legal Challenge Against Elon Musk and Dogecoin Data Access

Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford has joined a lawsuit with a coalition of at least 11 other state attorneys general after Elon Musk and Department of Government Efficiency staffers were found to have gained access to American’s personal information from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Musk reportedly accessed the U.S. Treasury payment system, which handles 1 billion payments per year totaling $5 trillion, containing sensitive information like Social Security payments and bank accounts. The coalition of attorneys general called the level of access “unlawful, unprecedented, and unacceptable,” stating that DOGE does not have the authority to access such information to block critical payments relied upon by millions of Americans for essential programs like healthcare and childcare. The statement also criticized President Trump for giving away American’s private information and cutting federal payments approved by Congress. Ford has been involved in multiple lawsuits against the Trump administration in recent months, including challenging an executive order on newborn citizenship and fighting against the freezing of federal grants and loans.
