They are not degreed engineers. They may call themselves engineers, but most have only a high school diploma.

what they're doing makes Edward Snowden look tame.

Good grief.

The real question is what country are these engineers from? And do they have the property credentials to access highly sensitive government information?

Oh, come off the grass, these people are obviously some of Theil’s “special”
friends.

This is terrifying.

It is a hostile takeover

kyleiphd.bsky.social•21 days ago

I subscribed, the $5 deal for a year is an insane value. Really grateful for your work 👏🏻

thank you!!

Please investigate how many of these might have spent time with NeuraLink. Does Musk control their chip?

Peter Thiel’s fingerprint is all over these selections too

On Amanda Scales, its new chief of staff:

Think “HR for Project 2025”. This is the through line between the TechCoup (Musk is the face, but Thiel’s in the background) and Vance, Hegseth, Kevin Roberts

Excerpt: “What we're seeing is unprecedented in that you have these actors who are not really public officials gaining access to the most sensitive data in government,” says Don Moynihan, a professor of public policy at the University of Michigan.
