"Given the threats to Americans’ privacy and the national and economic security risks posed by Mr. Musk and his team’s access to critical federal payment systems, we ask that the GAO conduct this investigation as rapidly as possible." https://www.banking.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/letter_to_gao_on_musk_and_treasury.pdf

This is excellent news to get GAO involved. The first of many requests, I am sure.

1. The letter is part of how you create a record for the lawsuit. It's what you do when you're in the minority party.

2. Who do you think has jurisdiction here to make arrests?

Asking for a federal agency to do its job is literally more than any other Democrat has done so far. It's not grandstanding or fundraising, so its a move in the right direction. This can't be the ONLY action, but it is action.

Which law enforcement agency would do this?

avitek.bsky.social•18 days ago

Kara, I share your anger. But who is meant to arrest them?

eugenehetzel.bsky.social•18 days ago

Your mom.

avitek.bsky.social•18 days ago

Hey Momma Vitek is not to be messed with it's true but this is a bit much to ask of her.

To little to late, musk already stole the data.

justmejbcookie.bsky.social•18 days ago

Exactly! He should be arrested NOW.

Reportedly, a bunch if unvetted & inexperienced 19-24yo kids, who had no background checks performed & have no security clearances. These yahoos have access to the most personal, private & confidential info on all citizens & corporate entities.

It’s frightening the harm they can cause.
