Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say
"We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems," one of the officials said. "That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications."
We’re at a point where an unelected billionaire with no official role in the government is accessing federal computers and data. It’s approaching critical mass–we aren’t even 3 weeks into Trump’s presidency, and I’m supposed to trust the system surviving *four years* of blatantly illegal and seditious behavior? How bad does this need to get before I’m allowed to advocate for a civil or military intervention

>The two officials, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, said some senior career employees at OPM have had their access revoked to some of the department’s data systems.
>The systems include a vast database called Enterprise Human Resources Integration, which contains dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades and length of service of government workers, the officials said.
>Officials affected by the move can still log on and access functions such as email but can no longer see the massive datasets that cover every facet of the federal workforce.
I’m not saying that this is a good move, but could it just be a case that they’re planning on letting these people go and they don’t want them to have access to an incredible trove of data on government workers?
The quote you put above about “cybersecurity and hacking implications” seems to be inflammatory and not in line with what’s going on- I’m not sure how limiting access to certain officials creates “hacking implications”. To me, it reads as if it was said by someone with very little understanding of cybersecurity / hacking.

He’s trying to take over the Federal Government the way he took over Twitter.
It’s going to be educational for future generations on how to shield bureaucracies from psychopaths.

Who TF thinks it’s a good idea to have *Elon Musk* reshaping what is essentially an HR department?
