Worried about Elon Musk and DOGE getting your Social Security number? Here’s how to protect yourself. Labor unions and civil-liberties groups are stepping up their legal campaign to block Elon Musk and his so-called Department of Government Efficiency from getting their hands on U.S. citizens’ bank-account details, Social Security numbers, Medicare details and other sensitive personal information. Unions and the Economic Policy Institute filed suit in federal district court in Washington, D.C., to keep Musk and DOGE out of U.S. Labor Department files, following a suit by the Alliance for Retired Americans and others to keep them out of the personal files held by the U.S. Treasury. U.S. Department of Justice attorney Bradley Humphreys, representing the Trump administration, insisted that DOGE had not had access to any personal financial details, though he added that direct access had been given to Marko Elez — a former engineer with Musk’s SpaceX company now working at the U.S. Treasury as a “special” temporary employee. (Update: Elez resigned Thursday after he was linked to racist social-media posts.) There are a few things changing about retirement in 2025. Whether you’re nearing retirement or ready to take the leap, here’s what you should know. U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has issued a temporary injunction blocking DOGE from any access to sensitive data pending a full hearing on the issue.
