A US judge has ordered #ElonMusk & his Department of Government *Efficiency* to turn over a variety of records & answer questions describing their efforts to slash federal spending.

“The court is not convinced, but that is a #legal issue appropriate for resolution after fulsome briefing.…At this stage, it is sufficient that plaintiffs' discovery requests intend to reveal the scope of #DOGE's & #Musk's authority,” #Chutkan wrote.
Chutkan limited requests to material concerning agencies, employees, contracts, grants, federal funding, legal agreements, databases & data management systems that involve or engage w/the 14 states as well as entities they operate or fund.
#law
#Chutkan rejected the states' request to obtain sworn testimony through depositions, & said her order does not apply to #Trump.
Republican & Democratic admins have long resisted efforts to force top WH advisers to provide court testimony or info they consider privileged.
#Musk & #DOGE have until April 2 to comply w/Chutkan's order.
The lawsuit sought to bar DOGE from accessing information systems at several government departments & firing federal employees or putting them on leave.

I'm pretty sure the quote is from that webcomic, but it would have been across three panels.
Honestly the single-panel version works at least as well.
