Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials. Since taking office 11 days ago, President Donald Trump has embarked on a massive government makeover, firing and sidelining hundreds of civil servants in his first steps toward downsizing the bureaucracy and installing more loyalists. Musk, the billionaire Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab CEO and X owner tasked by Trump to slash the size of the 2.2 million-strong civilian government workforce, has moved swiftly to install allies at the agency known as the Office of Personnel Management. 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.

Wonder if from the OPM MF they can revoke the tokens that are used by teleworkers to log-in and get on the clock?

Report to the office OR...

Among other things, I think they will be looking for data that was moved on to local servers to hide it for the next 4 years. They then have cause to fire anyone who did this. They might be looking for evidence of people who are not working on their Federal job, but doing things like organizing actions for the "Democrat Socialist" party while at work, or looking at porn.

The other thing that they might be doing is trying to remove any foreign actor who has hacked into the system, or remove hidden monitoring that the last administration left behind to spy, or other evidence of tampering.
