Musk is getting payback on those he felt slighted him and removing any obstacles in his way for any future projects. Which begs the question where does he intend to get the money for said future projects? The Treasury, Social Security and Fort Knox that's why they want access to them.
Liked the Pivot episode with Katie D on the topic. She should pinch-hit for Scott more often. Seems like she has the inside scoop on the tech crowd and their Iron Man fantasies.
Been saying this since they raided the Treasury. It’s why I am nauseous most of the time and don’t sleep. I’ve worked with Fed Agencies and the tech is fragile-dedicated people hold it together. And any oopsie could be catastrophic.
“He’s approaching it like an engineer, exploiting vulnerabilities that are built into the nation’s technological systems…”
This gives him far too much credit. He has no fucking idea what he is doing. He’s acting on caprice and ketamine with the blessing of a lawless chief executive.
Exactly. I've been working in ICT for nearly 30 years and Musk is no engineer. It seems he wants to be though, but he's just not smart enough. Enter Dunning Kruger and voila. The article is correct on some of the threats but the sheer misunderstanding of computing systems is off-putting

based on the headline and the publisher I'm going to make a prediction before I even read it. No part of this article will even come close to touching on what elon is really up to and why. I could easily find out with Ctrl+F in 2 seconds, but I will read it just to make sure.. give me a minute brb
"The mistake is trying to situate Musk solely in the context of politics." - So close! Such a tease.. but then it immediately goes off the rails and getting lost in the weeds of trying to describe the contractions and flaws with the approach of governance vs. silicon valley startups ->
this is a horrible narrative and misses the entire point of why he's doing what he's doing at all.
"Consider the outrage that is the federal employee retirement system," Again! SO CLOSE.. they actually got the words 'rage'(kind of) and 'retirement' in the same sentence, but failed to make the ->
actual connection to Curtis Yarvin's R.A.G.E plan as it relates to his butterfly revolution, which is what Elon is really enacting. Simply putting this into the context of the article would immediately start answering the question posited in the headline. but sadly, they do not pivot->
to the real driver of this coup which would open up a short short string on a corkboard over to the real and stated motivations and ultimate KNOWN and PUBLICLY STATED GOAL of all of this. Instead they spend two paragraphs essentially glazing elon musk's assessment of the "Mine". No counter->
They look like sane individuals, then they speak and it’s clear that they live in a fantasy.
But they’re driving their cars, getting groceries, etc. and I can’t help but think of movies where aliens have integrated themselves into a human host.
The article does not really say too much more than speculation. Along the same speculation lines, have you considered whether identities of classified intelligence programs and personnel could be discovered through mining of IRS databases?
And now the US Marshalls have granted Elmo's private security the right to open carry, just like any mercenary army would to protect their leader when he attacks.
Techno-fascism is the convergence of technology and authoritarianism, where advanced tools like mass surveillance, data analytics, and AI are wielded to control societies. It manifests in pervasive monitoring, censorship, propaganda, and the erosion of personal freedoms. (1/3)
By automating repression and manipulating information, techno-fascism creates a digital dystopia where dissent is not only punished but preemptively suppressed, and individual autonomy is increasingly algorithmically managed. (2/3)
As technology advances, the line between safety and control blurs, raising critical questions about privacy, freedom, and the future of democratic societies. (3/3)
I guess. But she has real culpability in building him into what he became, and accountability matters for public figures, as we all know so well living through Trump.
The unaudited, untracked DOGE US federal government computer systems and network shenanigans are a great diversion providing a free hand for Putin’s Russian ATP Cozy Bear operations across US Federal government systems.
Wait til that comes out, if ever.
I don't think we need the Secret Service right now. The only thing I want Musk/Doge to cut is the Secret Service. I am completely willing to pause the Secret Service for 90 days.
As FB was influential to the 2016 election, so too was Twitter to the 2024 election, albeit on a smaller scale. The purchase of it by Musk & other race baiting,democracy hating entities only furthered their agenda. @anandwrites.bsky.social was the only participant on your 2022 podcast, “Is Elon
Musk About to Be the ‘King of Nothing’?” to have foreseen the potential danger in the Twitter sale. It was never about profits. They were buying the presidency and eliminating further political dissent for many worldwide.
Go figure.
There are different levels of access. Sysadmin is root access to Linux or Unix. At the Database level it is DBA in Oracle an SA in SqlServer. If auditing activated it could track work done. Also backups of data offer a snapshot of the prior state.
Musk has admin privileges for all of federal government systems and databases. He is de facto the sole administrator of everyone's personal data and national secrets, not to mention that his doges certainly installed his malware and left back doors for him to manipulate the systems in the future.
Why does the writer think Musk is an engineer? He has been obsessed with conquerors like Alexander the Great and Napoleon since his youth, with some sci-fi (the name Elon is from Werner Von Braun "project Mars") and Ayn Rand. Add FPS games and Ketamine's neuroplasticity effects plus coke and stir.
He is neuroplastic as much as I am a ballet dancer at the Budapest Opera (spoiler I’m a 120 kg fella very clumsy and uncoordinated). Keep the ketamine minus neuroplasticity + a big narcissistic ego and poor parental attachment + a lot of therapy session where he have preferred to save his money 👉🤡
Also, as far as saving his money goes. He might consider snorting instead of plugging. It might enter the bloodstream faster and smoother but it is detrimental to the second-order emotions spawned from the rectal osmoreceptor's sense of fullness. Just no filling the void, literally and figuratively
Ketamine is used for therapeutic reasons because it amplifies the creations of connections in the brain. But it needs to be done with intensive psychotherapy so that these new connections are guided towards healing depression or other beneficial means... not for playing shooting games
I have animal sense; Elon makes my hair stand, I know intuitively Elon is up to an unknown action,he has an agenda; is it his ,or is he an agent working for another entity(state?) I hold him in unconscious contempt of ego. He bought his way in,THAT should tell you something right there!

Wasn't it a love gesture? 🤷♂️
It's just an AfD meeting
It's just Elon talking to a wanted war criminal in Kremlin.

Did DOGE get access to CODIS, NICS, PACER, CDC, CMS, SSA, FRED, or TreasuryDirect databases or other?
