Alon Musk’s colleagues on the charge of running the Human Resource Agency of the US government, according to two agency officials, have closed the personal data of millions of federal employees out of the computer system.
Since assuming office 11 days ago, President Donald Trump has fired hundreds of civil servants firing and firing hundreds of civil servants in his first steps towards reducing the bureaucracy and setting up more loyals.
The owner of Musk, CEO and X of Billionaire Tesla worked to reduce the size of 2.2 million civil government employees by Trump, which is fast to establish colleagues in agency known as Personnel Management Office Has moved forward.
Two officers, who spoke to Reuters on the condition of anonymity not to print a name for fear of vengeance, said that some senior career employees in OPM have canceled their reach for some data system of the department.
Officials said the system includes a huge database called enterprise Human Resource Integration, including the date of birth, social security number, assessment, home addresses, payment grades and lengths of government employees.
“We have no visibility about what we are doing with computers and data systems,” officials said. “This is causing a lot of anxiety. There is no inspection. It creates real cyber security and hacking implications.”
Officials affected by the move can still log on and access tasks like email, but now can no longer see datasets on a large scale that cover every aspect of the federal workforce.
Musk, OPM, representatives of the new team and the White House did not immediately respond to the remarks requests.
The OPM has sent the memo that avoids the government’s normal dry wording of missiles as it encourages civil servants to consider proposals and takes leave for “Dream Destination”.
Don Mionihan, a professor at the Ford School of Public Policy at Michigan University, said the works inside the OPM expressed concern about the inspection of the Congress in the agency and how Trump and Musk see the federal bureaucracy.
Mionihan said, “It makes it very difficult for anyone outside the internal circle of Musk in OPM what is going on.”
Musk effect
A team, including the current and former employees of Musk, took over the OPM on 20 January, the day Trump took over. He has shifted the sofa bed to the fifth floor of the agency’s headquarters, including the director’s office and can only be reached with a security badge or security escort, one of the OPM employees, one of the employees said. .
Sofa beds have been installed so that the team can work around the clock, the employee said.
Musk, a prominent donor for a well -known demand boss, installed a bed on X for employees, so that they could be able to work for a long time when in 2022 they captured the social media platform, which first of Twitter Was known in form.

The new appointment in -charge of OPM has transferred KT Malgue to the agency’s Chief Management Officer, KT Malgue out of his office and to a new office on a separate floor, the officials said.
Malag did not respond to the remarks request.

The new OPM team includes software engineer and Brian Bezeld, who joined Musk’s SpaceX Venture in 2003, as an Avionics Engineer before the company became vice -president of human resources. Bjelde in OPM plays a senior advisor.
OPM acting head, Charles Azel, Trump, has been sending memo to the entire government workforce since taking over, including the opportunity to leave federal employees with eight months’ salary on Tuesday.
One of the officials said, “Nobody knew here that the memo was coming out. We are finding out about these memo at the same time, such as the rest of the world.”
Now Amanda Scale in the group running OPM is a former Musk employee, now the Chief of Staff of OPM. In some memo sent by Ezel on 20 January and 21 January, to identify federal employees, including a directing agencies, on the probationary period, the agency heads were asked to scale the email at its OPM email address.
