Musk’s aides overseeing OPM have taken over critical computer systems—locking everyone else out.

Reuters, citing two anonymous sources, reported Friday that senior career officials at the Office of Personnel Management, the governing agency for the federal workforce, have had their access to department data revoked. They lost access to the Enterprise Human Resources Integration database, which includes the dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades, and length of service of government workers.

    Ok, I mistook all of these for just one. So, a self-coup? Getting hold of all the important bits of government so no-one can ever take them back?

      Taking over all agencies of the government to fill them with sycophants and loyalists. Somewhere between Russia and 1930s Germany imo.

      There’s a major bit from the other article where they talk about leaked documents about turning the structure of the GSA into the same as X (Twitter).

      The OPM gives them the personal information of every government employee in the country. It’s a purge at all levels of the government.
