Senior career employees at the Office of Personnel Management are reportedly losing access to critical federal workforce data under new leadership installed by Elon Musk. According to agency officials speaking to Reuters, since Musk’s appointment as head of OPM by President Trump, aides linked to the billionaire have restricted access to systems holding sensitive information like Social Security numbers and pay grades. Critics cite concerns about transparency, cybersecurity, and the growing influence Musk’s appointees are wielding across federal agencies.
