Anthony Armstrong, who was one of Elon Musk’s most senior allies in the federal government, left the Office of Personnel Management in April, NOTUS has learned.
OPM confirmed Armstrong’s departure from the agency, which had not been previously reported. Armstrong worked as a banker for Morgan Stanley and was reportedly involved in Musk’s deal to buy Twitter before joining the administration.
He’s not the only Musk associate to have left in recent months. Amanda Scales, who briefly served as chief of staff at OPM, and Steve Davis, a key leader at DOGE, departed to return to their roles in Musk’s companies. Brad Smith, a major health care investor who led the massive cost-cutting efforts at the Department of Health and Human Services, stepped down just before Memorial Day, according to Stat News.
