Musk’s Data Heist: A Federal Worker’s Alarm Over US Government Sabotage
Elon Musk’s administration is attempting to access sensitive information from federal agencies like the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and the Treasury, prompting outrage among federal employees. This unauthorized access threatens the private data of millions of Americans, including financial and personal information. The administration’s actions are characterized by a lack of legal justification and disregard for established procedures, leading to widespread fear and uncertainty among federal workers facing potential unlawful dismissals and a lack of transparency. This chaotic approach, described as a “smash and grab,” contrasts sharply with claims of a calculated strategy, further exacerbating concerns about the erosion of democratic processes and the safety of vital public services.
