Judge rules Musk's claims against ex-FEMA CFO Comans were false
U.S. Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick ruled that Elon Musk, then heading DOGE, engaged in 'state sanctioned intimidation' when he posted on X accusing former FEMA CFO Mary Comans of 'criminal action' and funneling $58 million to migrant hotels in Manhattan. The Department of Homeland Security fired Comans and three colleagues the next day, calling them 'deep state activists.' The judge's order formally clears Comans' name.
