A bombshell report from Reuters has revealed that Elon Musk has locked U.S. government officials out of key data systems containing personal information on millions of federal employees.
According to the report, which cites two anonymous federal agents, senior officials at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) suddenly lost access to crucial department databases. The move reportedly stems from Musk’s leadership at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a role assigned to him by former President Donald Trump to "curb government spending."

Despite DOGE’s limited authority over OPM and other federal agencies, a "team of current and former" Musk employees have embedded themselves deep within the agency since Trump took office on Jan. 20. Since the inauguration DOGE has morphed from a non-governement advisory panel into the rebranded tech unit inside the White House.
According to the report, the team set up sofa beds in the OPM Director’s office to work around the clock, securing access to a massive database known as Enterprise Human Resources Integration. This system holds sensitive information, including birth dates, Social Security numbers, performance appraisals, home addresses, pay grades, and service records of government employees.
As a result, tracking Musk and his allies’ activities within OPM has become significantly more difficult.
This comes as Trump and Musk push for all 2.2 million federal employees to accept deferred resignations, aiming to replace them with MAGA loyalists. Meanwhile, on Friday, David A. Lebryk, the highest-ranking career official at the Treasury Department, reportedly resigned after refusing to grant Musk’s operatives access to the government’s entire payment system — responsible for processing $6 trillion in payments annually.
Musk’s exact motivations for seeking unfettered access to the Treasury Department and government personnel databases remain unclear. However, his actions suggest a push for sweeping control over federal systems, granting him unprecedented influence under the guise of cutting $2 billion from government spending.
With access to these systems, Musk could bypass legal hurdles and potentially shut off funding for social programs opposed by him and Trump, further expanding his grip on federal operations.
Topics Elon Musk Government
This should alarm ever American citizen. The courts need to reign him in.
ReplyDeleteAmericans need to sue him for gaining access to our social security numbers and addresses! He has NO. business with any of that personal information! Lawmakers, lawyers and judges need to have him arrested! He is NOT even a government employee! They BOTH should be arrested!!! You put a criminal in charge he will and has committed crimes!
ReplyDeleteWe need to get a class action lawsuit against Elon Musk and his friends and Donald Trump for invqsion of privacy cause Elon is doing things that are unlawful and needs to go
DeleteThis is ridiculous. He should have ZERO access to everything. We the people did not elect Elon Musk into our government.
ReplyDeleteIf this Musk got into all the computers with info on all government employees. He went to Pennsylvania for Trump and I believe he had something to do with Trump winning by a landslide in Pennsylvania. He did something to hack into the computers to erase voters so Harris wouldn’t win. Remember what Trump said. I have a secret. And people don’t need to go out and vote for me because I’m going to win anyway. And Musk spent 290 million dollars so Trump would win. What does that tell you
DeleteWell, we did not elect the people at BATFE, EPA and ofher governmental agencies but under the Dems, they were fine with making their own laws. What’s different about DOGE?
DeleteYes, WE did!! Find something else to worry about. There's nothing you can do about this. (Thank Goodness! 😄)
DeleteRed flags... Next step is to seek and destroy all "enemies" of the "government" AND anyone that, on their opinion, got his/her job as a by product of DEI policies. This is just the beginning.
ReplyDeleteThe deep state has subverted democracy by acting as an opposing government. Right now 75 percent of the voters want less government restrictions and control in their lives. The mission is to reduce government and get it out of the way of the people.
ReplyDeleteAnyone familiar with how the NAZI party got into power?
ReplyDeleteTerrible. Should be illegal for musk and
ReplyDeletehis minions to do this.
Embrace change. How does anyone know that this won't improve what exists? Americas debt is out of control, It's an avenue to a solution. Buck up campers, the journey may take us to a better view.
ReplyDeleteAmerica's debt is in great part due to the current occupant of the oval office.
DeleteYes, and especially due to the Republican policies of the past 45 years.
DeleteThis is how dictators get control -- people exactly like you.
DeleteHow much debt do we owe China?.............$749 Billion. If we keep it up and we'll all be speaking Mandarin.
DeleteI bet you believe in climate change, too, amirite?
DeleteThese people hate Trump so much they want his administration to fail no matter what he does. It's obvious the current "book keeping" isn't working and the Pentagon has failed multiple audits. At this point we have no choice but to try something extreme and different.
DeleteI'm willing to bet you get all your information from X, Fox, Breitbart, and Newsmax. Your assertions are irrational at best.
DeleteThis is not a change to embrace. It will hurt us along with the rest of the world. Get your head out of the sand. You have no ability to understand if you are only commited to being "right" instead of objective and empirical facts that do not support your predilections.
DeleteMagic thinking. Same type of thinking that Steve Jobs used to try to cure his cancer.
Delete36 Trillion. With the "Stay the Course" mentality.
DeleteGet your "facts" straight with which presidents policies have contibuted most to the national debt. Also, did you forget that Trump stated several times that he wanted to get rid of the debt ceiling?
DeleteDo you trust Trump with your money and your wife? If not, then you need to realize how unethical this is.
DeleteThis is how they predicted 2017 would be like if Obama was re-elected in 2012.
ReplyDeleteIf the idea is to save $, that’s fine, however, this can be done behind the scenes w/out shutting down the day to day processes to avoid citizen suffering from a reckless and irresponsible oversight.
ReplyDeleteSource is Reuters.
ReplyDeleteHE IS COMING FOR YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY AND MY VA DISABILITY — are you dumb ass mother fuckers happy now? You have now ruined everyone’s life even some of your own Smfh
ReplyDeleteThis Musk manoeuvre is decidedly sinister. God help that poor country.
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you see the big picture!!!!
ReplyDeletePlease read... what's happening is scary
ReplyDeleteA foreign, unelected, unappointed billionaire, has all our financial data, including social security numbers...defend this. Please. I am curious how this gets spun
ReplyDeleteFox is already defending it. Stating Musk is getting down to business and finding all the fraud.
Delete❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteThis crap is unfathomable
ReplyDeleteFFS
ReplyDeleteThe call is coming from within the house! This fucking moron has no place running anything or even coming close to systems involved in government funds.
ReplyDeleteMusk is the US Prigozhin or Derepaska #NaziMusk #FascistGOP
ReplyDeleteDear God please impeach
ReplyDeletePlease tell me this isn’t true..
ReplyDeleteImagine if Biden and or Obama had a tech oligarch that funded their campaign and pretty much bought votes for them, and then is brought into gov’t via a shadow office in the White House, accesses our entire treasury system and is locking govt workers out from their systems while also accessing classified information (without clearance) - maga would be storming the capitol again. All in the meanwhile the guy who Americans elected to fix the economy just said there would be pain because of his tariffs - we’re in the twlight zone lmao. This country is a laughing stock rn and it’s a little funny knowing that maga will be hurt the most from this maniac getting back in, stupid is as stupid does
ReplyDeleteThe Purge continues. What can go wrong?
ReplyDeleteThis guy shouldn't have this much power.
ReplyDeleteWtf
ReplyDeleteWtaf
ReplyDeleteIs this legal? I feel I need a constitutional lawyer on speed dial.
DeleteWhile it's legality may be questionable, it is certainly an abuse of power
DeleteTime to
ReplyDeleteGet rid of maga and trump
And musk
Get him out
ReplyDeleteThis is not ok! He is holding our country hostage and this isn’t right! 😡
ReplyDeleteThis is beyond unthinkable
ReplyDeleteI'm sure nothing catastrophic will happen with a permanently zooted ketamine addict at the helm.
ReplyDeleteWe are literally in the middle of a hostile takeover 🤬
ReplyDeleteThis guy is to Trump as Goebbels was to Hitler.
ReplyDeleteI think Joe Rogan is to Trump as Himmler was to Hitler. Himmler was just a chicken farmer before he was made head of the SS..... He actually chose SS officers based on height and how Aryan they looked..... Joe Rogan's roid rage rants seem equally backwards and ignorant.
Locks out senior government officials where is the Democratic leadership?
ReplyDeleteWhat’s to be done?!!!
Deletesomething can be done always not sure i’m not a political leader
DeleteMuskapo on action
ReplyDeleteNot to mention he now has the personal information of all Americans.
ReplyDeleteThere it is.... Folks before I hear anything.. Presently the Canadian government is looking to shed some computer bloat to streamline. This project has been on going for now for 3 years and was set in motion by the conservative party and CSIS. To following where and how money has been leached out of the system.
ReplyDeleteDOGE should follow a similar plan to Canada's Improve monitoring of government official in all positions. Tighten software request and requirements. Remove all software that's now obsolete or modernize reporting to use news software to complete filing.
You want the truth? Spar did this in Carleton Place in 1994 and the result was a lay off of 1200 people.
Expect the US to be more. The Canadian government is talking 2200 job cuts.. which lowers tax requirements. It's absolutely necessary and it's the change I have been demanding after both federal governments did this to some of the most hard working people I know to make them more competitive.
The government is no different. Wasted money. Is wasted money.. and it's no longer acceptable from any company or administrating body. Schools included..
Begins the era of the great streamlining.
Immigrants!

ReplyDeleteWe don't need this in Canada. He has access to every single American's data and personal information and he's not an elected official. Pierre Poilierve is friends with Musk and has said he would put Musk in charge of Canadian satellite operations and data aggregation.
ReplyDeleteA whole lot of stuff in here I just don't believe.
ReplyDeleteWho Elected the South African, Emerald Mine Owner?
ReplyDeleteThis should be illegal...
ReplyDeleteThe Controller
ReplyDeleteSuperb move. Too many deep state wokes filled in US goverment
ReplyDeleteNearly 2 trillion dollars of tax payer money siphoned off by US deep state scum.
How is this even legal? Not even an elected official......just like handing the keys to the fortress to Joe blow down the street.....real life is now the same as living in the movie 'Idiocracy'!!!!
ReplyDeleteZaczyna siÄ™....
ReplyDeleteMIB
ReplyDeletewhat Trump is doing is in the line of dictators running their countries!! This is not democracy, rule of law... this is dictator doing whatever he/she wants to do, coz no law is above a dictator. Trump is ruining very soul of American society and bringing it closer to North Korean dictatorship, then Western Parliamentary democracy!!
ReplyDeleteAnd more insanity to came
ReplyDeleteIt's not going to be a bumpy road, it us going to be a very tragic train wreck
This is not good.
ReplyDeletecomputers were how we're got screwed musk messing with the results of the election
ReplyDeleteWhat F’n right does he have to do this shit!
ReplyDeleteThe ruthless lunatic pig needs to be gone
ReplyDeleteLargest data breach in American history. GOP Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk delivering for our enemies who bought them whole.
ReplyDeleteLol
ReplyDeleteAll the way from the Netherlands...: If one man, with the help of a few others, can throw an entire country and friendly nations (and in fact the entire world) into total chaos, then there is something terribly wrong with the American system of government!
ReplyDeleteyes 100% correct. Thats why i want to leave. I served my country, but I feel it certainly didn’t help provide any sort of freedoms sadly.
DeleteOur current government is pathetically sad
Well, we've known there was something terribly wrong with it for years now, if not decades.
Deletewill let it be known that you for the pedophiles then https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17AEr43oTw/
DeleteI didn't vote for Elon (or the other guy).
ReplyDeletewho’s the other guy ??😂
DeleteThis man not only has any official osition on our government he is not even an American
ReplyDeleteI hate him. But actually (and unfortunately) he is American, since 2002.
Deletehe's a naturalised citizen. I don't see why that's even an issue
Deletehe wasn't elected pure and simple. He should not be in our financials
DeleteI'm no fan, but he's been a US citizen since 2002.
Deletehe is an American… however Trump needs to cut his tentacles… he has his hands in everything and it is not going to end well
DeleteGiven that every pne of our federal departments have developed into fiefdoms of self importance and controll by overstaffing, and no management of that staff's purpose- only to provide bragging rights - "Well, if Bobby can run the FDAxyz, with 6,000 "employees" then shurely he can deserves to be promoted to xxxc" Thank God that SOMEONE who knows how to, is finally there to ask why 6000 employees are there and require this tax payer over hiring to stop- He may not have been born here, but he's smarter and more patriotic than you.
DeleteHe is an advisor for the President. And he is an American.
DeleteSorry I have been corrected he is a citizen as of 2002. However he still has no business or qualifications to do the damage he is doing and it is only the begining
Deletei guess that illustrates the current sad state of affairs in America when even their own people can't be trusted.
DeleteHe's an American citizen
Delete2002 became a citizen
Deletehow can he do this?
Deletehow white skin got him there.
Deleteyeah he is he is head of doge
DeleteHe invented the stuff
ReplyDeleteHe is allowed to shut it down if it gets into the wrong hands
he was not elected nor confirmed by Senate per the Constitution.
Deletehe invented nothing.
DeleteI don’t know what you’re talking about – he did not invent anything. He owns a company that he bought after the company invented things but that’s it. What he’s doing is called impounding. They’re trying to trickle all the government money back under the control of the president. You really need to get your facts straight before you starttalking about him.
Deletedid you say this out loud before you sent it? Or are you just crazy?
Deleteyou talkin bout??
Deleteshe will soon though. And she’ll be in tears, shocked, while the rest of us are 5 steps ahead in fight mode
DeleteYou are misinformed: Al Gore invented the internet, as a series of tubes. Get your facts right, or people are gonna make fun of you.
Deletelooks like SOMEONE lost quite a few screws!!! 😂🤪
Deleteyes for sure and he is sitting in the Oval Office !
DeleteHe IS THE WRONG HANDS.
DeleteHe IS THE WRONG HANDS.
Deletecould you be more clueless🤦♀️
DeleteHe invented what?
DeleteHe has no official position. Wth is really going on
ReplyDeletethe government is corrupted
Deletethis rights are getting tightened further, speaks volumes doesn't it.
Deletehe desnt need one hes 3rd party auditor congress dont care to vote on them

DeleteIs this a conflict of interest? Seeing as his company can benefit from Federal funds?
ReplyDeletehe has all your social security data. Yours. And all the personal, government restricted data of everyone you know. This is much more than conflict of interest.
Deletewell yes!!!!
Deletethat is by far the least of it. He now has the power to singlehandedly crash the economy or hold us hostage. Imagine if he is allied with China or Russia.
Deleteand he is.
DeleteDespicable people. All of the Magats.
ReplyDeleteCan you spell "coup"?
ReplyDeleteLol, such a computer genius that he has others play his video games for him. Oh and X/Twitter…such a success…🙄
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you America while you screw over your allies.
and he does NOTSEE his kids…
DeleteIt's treasonous!! I can't see it being anything else. Call the American forces he has got to be ousted. Musk and T rump!
ReplyDeleteGet Biden who arms terrorist countries!!
Deleteanything Biden has done is child's play compared to what Musk and Trump are doing. I wonder what kind of response Trump will get if they play around with Social Security and Medicare.
DeleteStay away from our social security!!!!
ReplyDeletethey are planning on taking all of it this is the end of everything i suggest you start praying for god to help us.
DeleteThat's not happening. They are going to gut that program.
Deletehe's already there! He gained access to social security systems
DeleteHoly crap. You think he might f with it?
DeleteA friend of mine helping someone else with snap payment at the grocery store .. her card was denied. Another friend who works for the VA as a nurse and is fully retired but still working was offered "buy out", with no mention of her retirement. Are we there yet?
DeleteThat’s how they plan to fund that 500 Billion Dollar Project Stargate proposal.
ReplyDeleteIt was great to meet you. I’d love to stay in touch, if you’re open to it. How do you like to stay connected?
DeleteHe will sell all that info to the highest bidder around the world!
ReplyDeleteWtf is going on here
ReplyDeletea coup by proxy it looks like.
DeleteIs me Elon musk I'm here for you
DeleteDiaper Don lit the country on fire, and the cabal of sociopathic tech bros who helped him retake power are now looting the burnt out husk that was once America.
Deleteproject 2025.
DeleteCan’t he be stopped? Legally??
ReplyDeletethis IS legal.
DeleteNotice how the article referred to Trump as the former president?
ReplyDeleteShame it's not true!!
DeleteBe nice if that was so now.
Deletebecause it’s an old news, prior to Trump being elected. This gossip sites should be taken down
DeleteThat's the way the system works now.
ReplyDeleteHe can do whatever he wants now, and if anyone opposes him they will suffer the consequences.
God help America
It's often said that fascism is when the brutality of imperialism is redirected inward toward those living in the imperial core. For a century American foreign policy has essentially been, "We can invade and loot any country we want, and if the locals dare to resist it's 'terrorism'". Seems to be what's happening now.
DeleteThe guy is an effing lunatic he thinks he can buy the whole world !
ReplyDeleteWhy do we give free access to our countries computer systems when he is not even American and always looking out for his company benefiting from federal funding
ReplyDeletehe did not come here illegally … I don’t like him but I am not going to spread lies about him … he does not rely on government money and his space program is more advanced and achievable than NASA, but I just don’t think he should be given that much power in government
Deletehe is an American
Deletei think i either replied to the wrong person or misunderstood something cause Musk is NOT a person i like!
DeleteWhere is congress and senate . He has the money and power . Gosh I am glad I didn’t vote for this government.
ReplyDeleteHe has no right to social security numbers and their personal information. It's disgusting
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely insane. I hope all you MAGAs are happy.
ReplyDeleteyou know they’re not smart enough to be mad
DeleteI believe they still are
DeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteAs a consultant he needs to abide by rules governing consultants or he needs to become a government employee. As just some random dude on the street he should have no power over government systems what so ever.
ReplyDeleteyou’re kidding right? Those rules are dead, cremated and buried. Who, prey tell, will hold this man and his acolytes to account? Spoiler alert: no one, it’s too late.
DeleteCome on Americans you have all the pew pews
ReplyDeleteyes yes we do
Delete? What's that?
DeleteWhat is Congress doing about this? Anything?
ReplyDeleteMAGATs are the majority there. Are there elections in two years? Vote if you care, I’d say.
DeleteWelcome to fascism
ReplyDeleteTime for an effing revolution.
ReplyDeleteNow we are entering troubling times. This man knows no bounds
ReplyDeleteNon-American in charge of the entire country's finances
ReplyDeleteYeah..nothin to see here.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable!! 🤯
Deletehorrifying..why does an unelected non security clearance holder get our ss numbers amd info
Deletewhat gets me is nobody doing anything about it🤬
DeleteThe world’s richest man is about to fleece the American people! Where is Congress!
ReplyDeleteI don't care what your political views are, this is terrifying and you need to pay attention to what is happening. Musk and 6 of his young engineers, who have no security clearance, now have access to US Treasury, including your SSN'S, tax returns and financial information, and likely National security data. $7 trillion!!
ReplyDeleteHe has NO authority!!!
Add on tariffs imposed on 3 top trading countries, retaliatory tarrifs from Canada, pardons for criminals, cutting off approved aid to foreign countries, dismantling of DEI programs; you should be afraid of what is coming.
Pay attention!
Scary!! But, not surprised... Just sad and very terrifying!!
DeleteAbsolutely
DeleteNow all our personal information has been leaked. What are they doing with our information? Will it be sold? Privacy gone gone.
ReplyDeleteGreat ,,, Great ,,,, So what's with the Nazi Crap & Infiltrating the Federal Reserve ???
ReplyDeleteUnsure how this or any of the things going on are even remotely appropriate or even legal for that matter. This is really starting to read like a dystopian novel and it's appalling.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I feel like I’m in some bizarre movie
DeleteIt’s illegal for sure.

ReplyDeleteI need them to be more specific than “computer system managing government personnel.” It’s the treasury department’s system, and he and his team now also have access to the social security numbers and personal information of every American.
