Musk with the offer for early retirement for Federal employees has no left doubt who is running the show and its not the Felon.

Musk team’s push to gut federal workforce bypassed key Trump officials

Since Trump took office, Musk has moved quickly to exert control over the Office of Personnel Management, the small independent agency that acts as a kind of human resources department for the federal government, issuing policy for agencies to implement. Musk personally visited the OPM’s offices Friday, and several of his longtime surrogates — including Anthony Armstrong, who helped Musk buy Twitter; Brian Bjelde, who ran human resources for Musk’s firm SpaceX; and Amanda Scales, who worked at Musk’s artificial intelligence firm, xAI — have been installed in senior leadership roles at its offices in downtown Washington, the people said.

In addition to the personnel office, Musk allies are now running the U.S. Digital Service, a White House office that a Trump executive order renamed the U.S. DOGE Service. Musk’s lieutenants have been interviewing the existing staff of that agency, asking detailed questions about their operations and expertise, said two other people who also spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations. One area of focus, according to another person familiar with the talks: gauging workers’ views on DOGE, questions that have raised concerns of a loyalty test.

The new leaders also have brought a heavy focus on engineering, keeping some workers long after their interviews to perform coding exercises, the person said.

That is blatant recruiting on the side.

Meanwhile, at least one of Musk’s private business associates has joined the General Services Administration, which oversees federal buildings. The new director of Technology Transformation Services — a part of the GSA responsible for enabling access to government services — worked for eight years at Tesla, Musk’s electric car company. Workers in that division have been told they need to share some of their recent work, the person said, which some interpreted to mean their computer code. (Musk’s team made similar requests of staff after taking over Twitter, now called X.) The technology workers were expected to sit this week for one-on-one discussions mirroring those at the U.S. DOGE Service. (The New York Times also reported Wednesday on some of the personnel involved and that the GSA has emerged as Musk’s likely next target.)

And he wants to steal code.
