On February 8, New York Federal Judge Paul A. Engelmayer issued a temporary restraining order restricting DOGE from accessing the Treasury Department's payment system. This sparked a furious response from Musk, who suggested Engelmayer should face impeachment.

Balajadia worked as an operations coordinator for the Boring Company, founded in 2016 by Elon Musk, for almost eight years. According to the New York Times, she is an official member of DOGE, traveling with Musk and helping him with scheduling and daily tasks.

The audit will also review the past two years of the system’s transactions as it relates to Musk’s assertion of “alleged fraudulent payments.”
