Elon Musk’s Team Locks Government Workers Out of Federal Agency Computer Systems Responsible for Hiring and Payroll as Trump Overhauls Government Bureaucracy

The Trump-Musk revolution in Washington is officially underway, and the entrenched deep state bureaucrats are shaking in their boots.

The Trump administration has reportedly blocked access to the federal government’s hiring and payroll systems.

Through the new advisory body Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Trump tasked Musk with spearheading this much-needed purge of the inefficient, taxpayer-funded leviathan that has spent decades growing out of control.

Now, Musk’s team is moving at lightning speed to reclaim control over the government’s human resources agency, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), making it clear that the days of unaccountable, left-wing bureaucrats running Washington are over.

The move to revoke access to data systems that store sensitive employee information is not just about efficiency—it’s about ensuring that disloyal deep state operatives can no longer manipulate hiring processes, obstruct Trump’s policies, or create unnecessary red tape.

Reuters reported:

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.

Musk, the billionaire Tesla 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.

“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.”

The news outlet added that since President Trump assumed office, the acting head of OPM, Charles Ezell, has been proactively communicating with the entire government workforce through various memos.

Among the communications, a notable memo sent on Tuesday presented federal employees with an unprecedented opportunity to voluntarily resign, accompanied by a generous severance package equivalent to eight months of pay.

It can be recalled that President Trump offered buyouts to millions of federal workers if they resigned by February 6.

The federal workers who accept Trump’s offer will receive pay and benefits through September 30.

Trump is offering the buyouts to make sure all federal workers are “on board with the new administration’s plan to have federal employees in office,” CNBC reported.

Only 6% of all federal workers actually work full-time in the office.

Trump’s offer does not include postal workers, military, immigration officials or people in national security roles.

10% of federal employees are expected to take Trump’s buyout offer.

Federal employees were instructed to type the word “Resign” into the “Subject” line of the email and hit “send.”
