  Leland Dudek, a mid-level career employee at the Social Security Administration, posted on LinkedIn that he was placed on administrative leave for cooperating with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency and asked for help finding another job.

The article from MSN Money discusses the unexpected rise of Martin O'Malley to the position of Social Security Commissioner. Previously a mid-level staffer, O'Malley was appointed to this critical role overseeing the Social Security Administration (SSA) within days of a vacancy. The SSA, which manages benefits for over 66 million Americans, had been without a permanent leader for nearly two years, leading to operational challenges and delays in service. O'Malley's appointment came as a surprise due to his relatively low profile in national politics, but his background in public service, including his tenure as the Mayor of Baltimore and Governor of Maryland, equipped him with the necessary administrative experience. His swift rise highlights the urgency to address the SSA's issues, including long wait times for services, outdated technology, and the looming insolvency of the Social Security trust fund. O'Malley's immediate tasks include modernizing the agency's systems, improving customer service, and navigating the complex political landscape surrounding Social Security reforms.
