Elon Musk's aides are reportedly taking over operations within various government agencies, including the Treasury Department and the Office of Personnel Management.

This situation mirrors the tumultuous management style Musk displayed post-Twitter acquisition and raises concerns about the control over federal employees’ data and spending flows.
