This is so serious that Americans should be responding as if to a million-alarm fire. Stealing root access to the primary government computer system is not the start of an attack on the US -- it's the final stage of that attack. I'd never thought of Americans as placid surrender monkeys, but....
What Elon Musk (The current occupant of our Treasury) is arguing is that a president has the unilateral authority to decide who receives money and who doesn’t. Ok then Tesla can unilaterally be excluded from all future EV subsidies. Musk should understand that is the slippery slope he is creating.
Defense contractors (all federal government contractors for that matter) need to sue this mother effer into poverty having access to their payment info and possible proprietary cost and price data.
What the heck. It's time for every reporter to hit Congress quit asking what Trump's doing and start asking every one of them Republicans what they're doing this is theirs they're allowing it so every reporter needs to report it that way this is what they support and just berate them with questions
Great grift, they will change all US currency to crypto currency, and of course, lock us out and keep it for themselves. Dust off your one dirty coarse serf tunics.
What the hell are our democrats doing about this? Are we going to sit
here and let a crazy billionaire take over our country and not do a damn thing about it ? I don’t know about you but this scares the crap out of me. It’s time for Washington to stand up and shut this down.
China and Russia's et al, new favorite boy toys. I'm sure their value is priceless to many countries. All the while they steal, and could sell anything at their whim with the complete approval of our President. Nice work FFOTUS.
A bunch of barely post-pubescent incels, with extremely limited worldly experience, who likely do not yet appreciate consequences, with full access to all of our information. Bordering on terror, if we’re not there already.
Parents and Families of them 6 teenagers better leave the country, for their own safety.
67 million American Veterans, Retired Gov't employees, Disabled, Retired citizens receive SS in some form, medicare, Medicaid etc.
One glitch in that payment system, all hell will break loose. Guaranteed! 🇺🇸
I simply don't understand the lackadaisical reaction to all of this from Congress and from the press. He's collecting all this information on all of us. Does Congress and MSM not think he has their information as well?
So how long will it take for OUR federal reserve of bitcoin to get hacked and stolen by a kid in his bedroom.
It’s a little different than robbing Ft Knox to get the gold.
If Bitcoin is successfully hacked, everything else is absolute Swiss cheese, traditional banking, health records, social security, aviation and AT control, internet config, everything else is child’s play compared to bitcoin’s encryption.
Probably. People are the seekers link, people get social engineered. SHA256 is going to be secure as you can hope to be. Here’s my wallet address give it a whirl. bc1qkx93rzknp8q39z8rk34n5k5vydrduxsyhpx2puq3uh48qx8wlsssw7yaql
Damage may bedone or will, but, I think (hope) best bet doesn't end well for young soon to be patsies out in the open pirates of Team Muskrat with unconstitutional authorization. Tinpot djt will publicly claim ignorance (easy to convince) and immunity "official acts". Muskrat buy innocence.
Why isn’t the Congress doing something about this illegal move by Musk. They control the purse strings. Why hasn’t musk been arrested? Where is the outrage? This is so frustrating. We are sick to our stomach’s. Who can help. I feel like we need a super hero to combat the evil warlord.
How is this even possible that no one is doing anything? If this takeover of our Treasury still has everyone on their couches, stinging their hands, lamenting how f'd up this is, what will it take to light a fire under everyone?? Anything??
I didn’t think Musk helped steal the election (it felt too conspiracy theory-like) until now that we’re watching a few young people easily hack their way into federal government servers that should have many layers of protection. Now I see how they can do it. And I can see why Trump is allowing him
I still do. I think he’s just biding his time until Trump is out & Musk achieves what he wants. Then he’ll come in, “sad” about what happened to Trump, and vow to “finish what he began.”
Yep, I don't disagree with that. Vance has zero charisma, I don't think the Magats even like him. Might be a challenge for him to assume the leadership of a cult of millions. Musk could fill that void. It won't matter that he's foreign born. They will blow right past that detail.
I wonder if R's would take the Musk takeover seriously if their SS numbers & other private details were leaked this week...Hello, child laborers of Musk! If interested, contact me!😊
Just heard from a friend living in Italy now retired. He served many years for armed services working his way up in the ranks, later working at US Servicemen Cemeteries in Europe, under diplomatic status.
His SS payments have been stopped - no money! He's now required to go to the nearest embassy, bring all of his papers to prove he is who he says he is, and to have his SS reinstated. This will cause at least 3-4weeks' delay in back payments.
Is this how we treat our servicemen?
Yeah makes feel so secure about my Social Security check and my IRS return 🙄. People should be incensed by this… trump keeps throwing out crazy distractions and the media always seems to forget about the danger this poses for our governmental data.
Donald, the 78 yr old employee of the apartheid Rasputin Elon Musk, has been assigned an attendant to constantly remind Donald he can be called Mr President, as long as he stay’s out of Elon’s way.
Can’t imagine any decent sized firm allowing a 25 yo, brand new at the firm, unfettered, unsupervised access to their payroll, payments, accounts receivable software.
It does makes sense, however, for a multi-$T institution to do so …
Read AND write access! Ability to install backdoors and remove checks. Ability to send all USAID funding, for example, to Elon personally. Or Putin. This is YOUR money you paid in taxes.
I wonder where the Clintons, Obamas, especially the Bushes are to condemn the acid MAGA is pouring on our faces. The Mexican community has come out to the freeways in protest of this government with courage and without fear. Shame on those who are silent!
America knows who these tech bros are.
Can you imagine what their lives will be become if Treasury stops making payments to SS, vet retirement, tax refunds, etc. because they broke something or just turned it off at Musk's request?
There will be a lot of angry people.
We need transparency in this.
If you or I and geeky friends, non gov’t employees, were to pull off what has been done far by Musk and friends we would be arrested and charged with numerous crimes…and yet…
There is now way you’re going to convince memor anyone that musk and his minions don’t have all of our data at some secret server which they copied. We will never find out but they have the confirmation and musk can use that for his benefit. absolutely shocked that we are in this situation.
George, what is your opinion on comparing these youngsters to founding fathers (many were young in 1776). I’m seeing that talk track on the other platform
Pull your money from the bank. Paper may not spend. Get an accounting or copy of all your finances. Get medicines. Arm up! Stick up on perishables. Get water. I feel like a dooms dayer but I’ve seen the movies. I know how this ends.
Doubtful he ever had a girlfriend…but he totally could delete his mommy’s data because she didn’t bring the hot pockets to the basement quick enough for him.
FBI, DEA, ICE, CIA, IRS, ONI, DNI, USAID, Customs agents, all LEOs, US Military - Remember that you each swore an OATH to defend RULE OF LAW, UPHOLD the Constitution, and protect US from enemies, foreign and domestic. Uphold your oath, DO NOT OBEY ILLEGAL ORDERS! These offers are illegal, unfunded!
So, technically, we are under a Treas. Dept. cyber attack sanctioned and approved by our own President. If that's not an impeachable offense I don't know what is. And no one (not even an R) can come up with a decent argument to say otherwise, no matter how far up FFOTUS's ass they reside.
Sadly, the Republicans never vote to convict him when he is impeached. They had 2 opportunities to convict him, and didn’t. If they had, he wouldn’t have been able to run for reelection.
Yup. And pretty sure Moses Mike wouldn't let AsOI ever come up for a vote. But I guess if there are a couple of Rs who value how history writes about them, they could push it. I won't hold my breath.
It this a COUP😳…??

This is a question for both Repubs & Dems, alike. Are you folks, despite your ideological & political differences, ok with handing your Medicare, your social security, and other gvmt funds you are entitled to as tax payers, to a group of non-vetted people who now have auth access your info & money?
Help! I want to scream into the void! I just called my congressman's office, Jeff Crank of CO, to express my concern over Musk and I got told "nothing to see here". "President just doing what he said he would do". I, the constituent, am totally wrong!! No sensitive info has been accessed. WTF??!!
I just called again this morning and got the same run around. They kept referencing the NYT story from LAST FRIDAY. Bizarre behavior. Willful blindness.

Like how can anyone live in America on so little. Katie’s white board.
Nope. Their rich parents are probably paying THEIR bills and getting tax avoidance as a reward!
Good conservative republican?
here and let a crazy billionaire take over our country and not do a damn thing about it ? I don’t know about you but this scares the crap out of me. It’s time for Washington to stand up and shut this down.

I thought that the whole “young men and Cyber-Fuhrer” thing smacked of “grooming”…
But your weather forecast is much better…
“White Hats” looking to find & correct vulnerabilities
“Black Hats” looking to exploit vulnerabilities.
We all want to know where the audit trail is on these MAGA-hackers,
because:
In God We Trust,
all others get logged.

Ever vetted by anyone other than Cyber Fuhrer Elon?

They are stealing America’s identity.💔
