Elon Musk may be the biggest beneficiary of Donald Trump’s re-election, surpassing even Trump himself.According to a new report from Bloomberg, Musk’s social media platform X is currently looking to raise money from investors at a valuation of $44 billion.

But judges appointed by Democratic and Republican presidents haven’t always gone along with those arguments, at least so far. Most notably, DOGE critics are failing to obtain temporary restraining orders that would prevent Musk’s team from accessing sensitive government databases. “It is…
