(Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Friday ruled that Elon Musk and members of the cost-focused Department of Government Efficiency that he spearheads can make further cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development while they appeal a lower court order that had barred them from doing so.

A three-judge panel of the Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 that a Maryland federal court judge was wrong to conclude that Musk and DOGE likely violated the U.S. Constitution in dismantling the agency.
