Summary

Federal employees have filed a class action lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order to disconnect a server allegedly installed illegally at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) by associates of Elon Musk.

The lawsuit claims the server, connected without required privacy assessments, risks exposing government employees’ data.

The server is linked to the Trump administration’s plan to downsize the federal workforce.

If the motion is granted, the administration’s “deferred resignation program” could be delayed.

      You think they haven’t tried that? If it was that simple it wouldn’t have gotten plugged in in the first place.

      It’s monitored. You need to stop Musk and his lap dogs, who are backed by the DOJ and POTUS himself.

      Everyone that’s put up resistance has been walked out of the building and put on leave/fired.

        If you’re going to get fired anyway, you might as well throw it off the roof. A bit more effective of a delay than the 30 seconds it would take for someone to plug the power cable back in.
