Elon Musk's U.S. DOGE Service agents were given excessive access to sensitive data controlled by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Following a Washington Post report, OPM's interim leadership directed the withdrawal of DOGE representatives from two critical databases containing personal information of federal employees. These agents, some from Musk's private enterprises, had gained significant authority over government systems allowing them to make extensive modifications. The actions came amid turmoil within OPM as leadership reevaluated staffing, exacerbated by plans to reduce its workforce substantially.
The extraordinary level of access granted to Musk's deputies over highly guarded government data led to their removal from sensitive personnel databases.
DOGE representatives should be withdrawn from two principal systems containing personally identifiable information for millions of federal employees.
