Summary
Elon Musk’s DOGE website mistakenly published classified intelligence data, including personnel and budget details for the National Reconnaissance Office.
The breach sent Defense Department officials scrambling, as the NRO’s headcount and budget are typically classified. Intelligence aides confirmed the leak is problematic under current security standards.
Concerns have also been raised about DOGE’s inexperienced staff. The White House has not commented, and the site was later hacked.
The website posting classified info, not being secure, and hiring a 19 year old who leaked classified data at a previous job. Hmm, almost seems like Elon is actively undermining the US government and inviting various groups and countries to steal our data.
Maybe he has some war thunder arguments to settle…
Other countries having our data is the least of our worries. I’m ready for China to become our new overlords if that’s the only other option.
" problematic under current security standards."
Is there an understatement of the year award.
It’s slightly troublesome that not only were a bunch of 20ish year olds, at least one in his past was fired for posting company secrets on discord… not only are able to walk into any government agency and get classified information… but are also, notably posting them to the public. (and that’s just what we see them doing publicly… lord knows if anything is traveling through any hidden channels etc…
That’s “problematic” in the way 9/11 was a “troubling event”.
WHY DO THEY HAVE CLASSIFIED DATA?
That’s not something you just give access to because someone says they want it and they’re high up in the command structure.
Because the people who objected to them not having the clearance to view the data were put on leave.
[Musk’s] comments come after the administration placed two top security chiefs at USAID on leave after they refused to turn over classified material in restricted areas to Musk’s government-inspection teams, a current and a former U.S. official told The Associated Press on Sunday
Jesus fucking Christ.
Does anybody else feel like we’re all nearing a collective psychotic break? Like, am I crazy, or is everything suddenly fucking crazy?
It’s not you, it’s fucking crazy.
Are we all just deciding to internalize it or something? Or is this Bystander Effect on a national scale?
Oh no! They’re worried!
Fucking do something about it for once
Just shoot him
There is a reason he suddenly started bringing his little human shield with him everywhere. Suddenly he has a good relationship with his kid right after Trump got shot. I’m sure just a coincidence.
Anyone who’s willing to shoot him won’t let that stop them
Not when there’s Checks notes
Another 13 mini Elons running around
Gonna need a bigger clip.
Magazine.
Ah okay. Sorry, I’m not American.
At this point I’ll believe anyone in the USA is worried when we see tanks at the Capitol.
Until then it’s impossible anymore to believe this isn’t approved by the nation.
Their Shock Doctrine approach (thank you Naomi Klein) has been incredibly successful. Reading about history in my youth, I now understand why evil prevailed then as it is now. I was looking back at times of immense tyranny and thinking “why didn’t everyone just rise up against them!?” Some are fully onboard, others partially, but many are detached, struggling to survive. The rest of us do what we can, when we can, but disjointed and unorganized.
It’s a whole lot of “please will somebody DO something!”, but the modern Democrats are not an opposition party, ever. The news media is complicit as well. There are a handful of judges and attorneys who are doing their damndest, but this is no longer a country of laws (for the rich and powerful).
The country is geographically massive and your average citizen is both poor and uneducated, both politically and otherwise, by Western standards. Now that large swaths of worker’s livelihoods are being devastated they may have more time on their hands.
I won’t hold my breath for “Occupy Washington”, but when the next movement comes it will be met with intense and violent opposition. Hopefully a silver lining may be a wake up call, far too late.
I shudder to think of what comes next as it has been festering and fomenting within this country my entire lifetime. The sophisticated propaganda machine and socioeconomic warfare has kept our citizens dumb, divided, and despondent, I pray something beneficial rises from the ashes.
There is no single answer to your question. My aim was to provide a contemporaneous snapshot of what I am experiencing. As I have been observing our descent into flagrant fascism, and telling anyone who would listen, for the better part of a century. And I hate it with every fiber of my being.
I’m so fucking tired of everyone blaming the Democrats.
Trump has a 46% approval rating. ** 46% of the American people support explicitly this. **
They don’t have the right to perform a coup without the consent of the people. And you, right now, are saying you don’t consent to their rule because they haven’t taken it by force. (What force?)
Are you aware of how unpopular any impeachment typically is? If his approval rating is 46%, impeachment won’t happen.
We’re going to have to wait for things to get bad enough that we all start to actually suffer in our lives, outside of just seeing it coming by reading the news.
Seeing the train isn’t enough. We have to wait for it to hit us.
ARREST MUSK
How is this confusing?
Arrest his conspirators. Separate them. Get them to give up their international contact.
No one is as colossally stupid as these kids are. Unemployment is the least they need to worry about.
Over half the country voted for this. Over half the country thinks he’s doing Lord’s work and is finally making America great again. He’s not getting arrested unless he does something way, way worse than this
Honestly, I don’t believe he won. There are computer scientists who are saying that it was 100% rigged. If you think about it for more than 2 seconds it’s easy to see that Trump shouldn’t be president. I’ll die on this hill.
I honestly think that kamala just didn’t resonate with many americans
her campaign underestimated the mysogyny and racism of latinos, and conservative black men, i used to follow some asian youtubers who were originally willing listening to the other side, but are still right wing, after covid hit they went all in with trump and conspiracies, actually most of it was due to female employee(and past ones) they mistreated, she wasnt playing ball with the owners so they bullied the sht out of her years and not toe-ing the line of thier rants. both are pretty socially conservative,as are asian voters. dint make her look better hanging out with cheney.
It’s not confusing at all, many of us agree. But who enforces that? The Justice Dept, led by Trump’s other stooge Pam Bondi.
We are witnessing a coup in real-time
The world is watching too. It’s easy for me to shout towards the US “do something!” but the rich have got people so economically fucked they’d have to choose between fighting this good fight, or feeding their families.
When they can’t even feed their families, the choice will be much easier to make.
That’s honestly what it’s going to take, is a collapse like the French experienced in 1789. It’s not going to be pretty. We have tanks, machine guns, bombs, all kinds of chemical weapons (tear gas is a chemical weapon), etc.
They’re systematically dismantling everything, including farming and social programs created to help feed poor people. What do they think is going to happen when people can’t eat? There’s a reason Rome did bread and circuses. Feed the masses, entertain them somewhat and they stay relatively complacent. They’re not doing that here.
I think starvation historically leads to revolution
