| Musk's Aides and the US Office of Personnel Management |
Elon Musk's aides have recently been involved in a controversy surrounding the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Musk's team, tasked with running the OPM, has locked career civil servants out of critical computer systems containing personal data of millions of federal employees.This move has raised significant concerns about cybersecurity, oversight, and the potential misuse of sensitive information
The controversy began when Musk's aides, appointed by President Trump, took control of the OPM and revoked access to the Enterprise Human Resources Integration database.This database includes dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades, and length of service of government workers.The lack of visibility into the actions of Musk's team has created great concern among senior career officials.
