They're stopping congressionally mandated (i.e. legislation) payments to services, violating the Impoundment Control Act of 1974.

That doesn't sound like it would hold up in court. Which services?
I'm not sure if you've been reading the news at all, but I would guess no? The most talked about has been USAID -- namely because they started with it, which is odd because it's one of the smallest government programs and Musk promised to cut $2 trillion -- wait, sorry $1 trillion -- wait, no, $150 Billion by 2026 -- wait, the actual amount is likely much smaller [1].
