Like someone said above and you derided as goal post moving it's about how the audit is done. There are systems set up for this to protect the privacy of all those involved which have been ignored. You can't just bring in whatever dipshits you want and ignore security clearance, there are ways to do this legally.

There's a list of all the lawsuits that Elon is party of for his "audits". 

Think of this like Trump's documents case. Isn't the executive branch allowed to use it's own documents? Well sure, but only in ways that we have deemed legal, not however they damn well please. 

Kennedy in his speech claimed that Musk has the security clearance needed to do this. I would not know why he would lie about it on a live broadcast.

The lawsuits are interesting, let's see where they go. It's not illegal till a judge past judgement about it.

Courts take a while but all the orders indicate that judges believe that one side will win on the merits and they aren't going in Elon's way.
