While the insertion of former employees at Musk's Boring Company and xAI as advisers is alarming, nothing quite illustrated the point like the hiring of two former Musk associates who aren't yet old enough to rent a car.

Spotted by Reddit user r/AdeptGreen, several memos issued by the OPM since Trump's inauguration have had metadata showing them to be written by people linked to Project 2025. Metadata is information about another set of information, such as its author, the date it was created, and the file's size. It is frequently embedded within the file.

The Office of Personnel Management's 2026 Federal Employees Health Benefits program roadmap focuses on cutting red tape for feds and retirees while staying committed to key health care priorities—here’s what it could mean for you.

Most survey respondents who say they'll take OPM's deal already had plans to retire from federal service soon, or leave for a job outside government.

OPM said each agency should report updates on the number of employees who have accepted buyouts to OPM every Friday, beginning this week.

One lawyer says OPM's proposal "does not look fully baked yet" as Democrats question the legality of the "deferred resignation" offer.

Some see Elon Musk's fingerprints on the system, which the plaintiffs say was acquired improperly and is not secure.

A pair of whistleblowers believe the office skirted the law by not conducting a privacy impact assessment for an alleged “on-prem” server used to send mass emails to federal employees and store information from responses.

Two federal employees are suing the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to block the agency from creating a new email distribution system — an action that comes as the information will reportedly be directed to a former staffer to Elon Musk now at the agency.

Until very recently, the Office of Personnel Management lacked the capability to send mass emails to all federal employees, a person familiar said, fueling concerns that the agency bypassed procurement rules.

The federal government’s most important hiring office is now overrun with Elon Musk’s underqualified stooges. Wired reported on Tuesday that the highest positions at the Office of Personnel Management are now held by people close to Musk. And some of them have a woeful lack of experience.
