Protests Against Elon Musk's Access to Federal Databases Spread to OPM

News summary

Protests erupted outside the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) against Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), with demonstrators alleging that Musk's aides have unlawfully locked federal officials out of key computer systems. Activists, including former government employees, described the situation as an 'administrative coup,' claiming it jeopardizes the personal data of millions of federal workers. Protesters chanted slogans and carried signs in opposition to what they perceive as Musk's illegal seizure of government infrastructure, expressing fears of data theft and loss of constitutional rights. The protests are set to continue throughout the week, with plans for further demonstrations at the Treasury Department. Concerns were heightened after reports indicated that Musk's representatives had gained access to sensitive government systems, and that USAID was reportedly shut down, leaving employees locked out. Critics argue that Musk's actions represent a dangerous consolidation of power over federal operations, demanding immediate action from lawmakers to address the situation.
