The Trump administration has blocked Musk from testifying in the "dissolution of USAID" case

On November 25th, according to foreign media reports, the Trump administration is fully resisting the efforts of government employees and contractors to require Elon Musk to testify in court. The lawsuit alleges that Musk illegally led the dissolution of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) while serving as a senior adviser to the president and leading the Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE). According to the latest court documents, the Justice Department has asked a federal judge in Maryland to block the depositions against Musk and two former senior USAID officials. The agency was ousted earlier this year as part of Trump's plan to reduce the size of the government through massive layoffs, defunding and the elimination of agencies. USAID employees accused Musk of unconstitutionally exercising high-level government authority that would have been reserved for Senate-confirmed officials, and alleged that Musk and other executive branch officials violated the constitutional separation of powers by shutting down the foreign aid agency created by Congress.
