Racism, eugenics? Next you’ll be telling me they need Lebensraum for the Volk, I bet. Wait, I’m getting an update… oh, oh no.

consensus-reality.bsky.social•16 days ago

We should scare the crap outta these kids. Out them.. and all their personal stories and data. Sorry.. but when the stakes are this high, drastic measures are required.

ponchmct.bsky.social•16 days ago

Most shocking part about this is the resignation.

cruxothebiscuit.bsky.social•16 days ago

maybe i can get someone over at the white house with a WSJ subscription to gift me the article

He probably already gained access to enough info to make money selling it.

happy2behere.bsky.social•16 days ago

Not sure which is worse, the fact he’s a horrid (no surprise) racist, or that this guy was allowed access to Treasury data on millions of Americans

desertmage65.bsky.social•16 days ago

They’re all racists, even the non-white ones.

hippiefromthesouth.bsky.social•16 days ago

The question is how much Data did he take with him? How much intel to sell out on the black market. This was the dumbest shit I have ever seen as a retired Network Engineer. The system or any government system attached can not be trusted at this point. They didn't need a password to get in :(

eukaryotex.bsky.social•16 days ago

Oh, don’t worry, it was “read only” access.

[hand to ear] I’m being told that’s not much better.

hippiefromthesouth.bsky.social•16 days ago

If I have a few minutes in a computer you have no security to anything that is connected whether I have admin or not.

eukaryotex.bsky.social•16 days ago

And whether they write or not, I would think that being able to read (and then share) the extremely confidential info is the actual threat there, not just deleting and fucking with it.

eukaryotex.bsky.social•16 days ago

It’s already started trickling out with specific spending that then becomes a talking point. There will just be a drip drip drip of constant outrage bait for years

hippiefromthesouth.bsky.social•16 days ago

Just as he did with the meaningless information he found in the twitter files will hype up lies and then it gets exposed later but nobody cares. That is Elon Style.

wthisnext.bsky.social•16 days ago

You believe that?

karaaley.bsky.social•16 days ago

FAFO for DOGE stooges

milanasanovic.bsky.social•16 days ago

teslajungen

andydaly.bsky.social•16 days ago

Has he also been seen doing Sieg Heil salutes?

rob787.bsky.social•16 days ago

Omg no way!

hrryan.bsky.social•16 days ago

Funny, I thought they were supposedly proud of their racism.

omgitsdot.bsky.social•16 days ago

Birds of a feather

cprotopapas.bsky.social•16 days ago

He resigned? You mean to tell me they have some residual sense of shame about racism? I'm shocked...

bonniejo.bsky.social•16 days ago

Hey, @bibendum.bsky.social

freedomsutra.bsky.social•16 days ago

There must be something beyond that. Racism is the lingua franca for MAGAs. Acting undersecretary for State, public Diplomacy, had this to say last year.

emilytav.bsky.social•16 days ago

The damage is done. He already built in back doors, and the integrity of the data is massively compromised.

craigawilliams.bsky.social•16 days ago

And to think in the past we only had to worry about Republicans in Congress shutting down the government. Now we have added some pathways for other governments and groups to join in the fun. Thanks Republicans for exercising your power to make us less secure, what are y’all thinking?

antikerbal.bsky.social•16 days ago

This dude does not have secret service protection.

elemenopy.bsky.social•16 days ago

and what data and files did he take with him? Does he still have access to all the government systems?
Bring him up on state charges

magabuster.bsky.social•16 days ago

Great. This is good.
What about the homophobe, racist, Nazi saluter and supporter who leads DOGE.
His first name rhymes with Elon.

fredgrott.bsky.social•16 days ago

one down....more to go.....let's get digging!

adreanalangston.bsky.social•16 days ago

It wasn't the racist posts that brought about his resignation. It was the fact that he called Elon Musk dumb.

bgibbons.bsky.social•16 days ago

What?!?!?!? Someone working for Elon was a fan of eugenics?!? I’m shocked.

hippiefromthesouth.bsky.social•16 days ago

That is what made him so qualified if it's true.

lmplusg.bsky.social•16 days ago

So the judge needs to take another look at her order. No read only access for any of these people. None.

philbooz.bsky.social•16 days ago

Least surprising news ever

heilshitler.bsky.social•16 days ago

What effrontery! He’s not racist, he just prefers white people and that’s why I hired him.

3nahmja.bsky.social•16 days ago

his “…I was racist before it was cool” was one of his deleted quotes. Let’s see how many more can be recovered before Musk cleans out their SM accounts

cassbo.bsky.social•16 days ago

Only the best people, right Donald? If it quacks like a Nazi, it posts like a Nazi, it ain’t a Constitutionalist.

louddonkey.com•16 days ago

But it wasn't a Nazi salute...

tcansan.bsky.social•16 days ago

even the WSJ comment section is unamuzed by Nazi children taking our information

rbrbndgrl.bsky.social•16 days ago

Really? I saw a few cheerleading it.

sunnyd6742.bsky.social•16 days ago

Trump will probably appoint the kid to a cabinet position.

deepstatepotato.bsky.social•16 days ago

did he have a note for bonespurs, too?

angrycreamsicle.bsky.social•16 days ago

Ah yes, another shocking twist in "Elon's Circle Is Full of Racists"—a saga that somehow keeps surprising people. At this point, hiring a white supremacist is basically part of the onboarding process...

davidinsf.bsky.social•16 days ago

Hmm. All they had to do was ask about it.

ileftrome.bsky.social•16 days ago

I'll take, "Utterly Unsurprising News" for $500, Alex. 🙄

soso008.bsky.social•16 days ago

Several of them are fan boys of Nick Fuentes as well.

auntieem.bsky.social•16 days ago

I kind of love this. Tech genius didn’t realize the internet is forever.

bershod.bsky.social•16 days ago

Good…now we just need Musk to be kicked to the curb

grimmthereddeath.bsky.social•16 days ago

Wonder how many of these deleted accounts we can dig up?

hippiefromthesouth.bsky.social•16 days ago

Its only a matter of time before "friends" start to talk for money

redstateliberal.bsky.social•16 days ago

So he’ll be working from home now?

pjelliffe.bsky.social•16 days ago

Yes with all the SSD drives stuffed down his skinny jeans.

tzipshmil.bsky.social•16 days ago

Nazi employed Nazis? Shocking.

betsycooley.bsky.social•16 days ago

Wow. I hope this gets the attention it deserves.

lolalolajoaquin.bsky.social•16 days ago

That would be Marko Elez, 25. resigned today.

opusmarta.no•16 days ago

He resigned? He wasn’t promoted? Wow. Hope?

gilgamish3.bsky.social•16 days ago

But these guys all passed their security checks. 😱

dcenviro00.bsky.social•16 days ago

Doge doesn’t officially exist so how did he “resign”?

ember-seas.bsky.social•16 days ago

Wow the WSJ is truly run by cocksuckers. It should read “felonious shitweasel participating in treason wised the fuck up and realized this bullshit isn’t worth his life”.

ember-seas.bsky.social•16 days ago

There is no DOGE officially. It’s not full of “staffers”.

It’s a fucking ragtag unhinged ketamine gang participating in a coup.

langdongrant.bsky.social•16 days ago

I'm beginning to think these guys weren't vetted quite as well as Scott Bessent promised they were.

toddching.bsky.social•16 days ago

More of this. We need to figure out who these people are, dig into their social media histories, and make them pariahs. Don't doxx them or anything illegal, but uncovering their past statements is absolutely critical.

yoyoma2024.bsky.social•16 days ago

Wait til they discover Elon’s X account!

bjc860.bsky.social•16 days ago

Good thing we are now only hiring the best.

ijspurcell.bsky.social•16 days ago

lmao welcome to the big leagues, kid. hope being an edgelord and civic criminal was worth it

valgothere.bsky.social•16 days ago

Wait, I thought the judge blocked access today? Also, of course he does.

jpin.bsky.social•16 days ago

Elon’s account is worse!

ellz.bsky.social•16 days ago

How Ru$$ian is his new gal?

ellz.bsky.social•16 days ago

What happened to No Rules Just Right?

veryrecent1.bsky.social•16 days ago

He resigned so he could accept a job offer from Tesla

faeelin.bsky.social•16 days ago

Need to see some polling my before I decide if it’s bad

yeahbutnahbut.bsky.social•16 days ago

kgsbca.bsky.social•16 days ago

there is nothing to resign from, he was not a govt employee.

data-djinn.bsky.social•16 days ago

With the amount of confidential data this little asshole has seen they need to throw his ass in prison.

beentheredunit.bsky.social•15 days ago

Wait a minute, this guy has to resign for racist comments but the POTUS Musk who does a Hitler salute 2x at the inauguration skates by? They both need to be gone.

tomhunt.bsky.social•16 days ago

did nazi that coming

katie-did.bsky.social•16 days ago

I am 100% firm these "staffers" are not at all getting enough negative attention from us. They don't deserve a moment's peace from us for the absurdities they're carrying out. They ought to be trolled so hard their faces get rubbed in the pavement over the shit they're doing.

auntieem.bsky.social•16 days ago

You are absolutely right. I wonder what their parents are saying to them.
