Trump won because musk and his minions FIXED THE VOTE !!!!

This is going to be an extremely big deal. The Trump administration has decided to reclassify CIOs across the government, so instead of career civil servants they'll be appointed. That means even more Palantir, SpaceX, Tesla, etc. execs controlling access to every agency's most sensitive systems.

There really needs to be a way to agree without liking.

Trump supporters will say that this is smart.

I wish people paid more attention to things like this. Anything involving Palantir should absolutely sound an alarm. This is not some ordinary company. It is a right wing, privatized surveillance infrastructure provider. The police state of the future

Nothing ominous about a company named Palantir taking over government info ops. Totally fine.

@brbarrett.bsky.social Would love to see @wired.com investigate the salaries being paid to the new high level Silicon Valley hires that trump/musk are putting in place to replace federal staff. And a comparison to those paid to the fired federal workers.

Oooooh. Right up there with the comparison between the $ the government gives a social security recipient vs. the $ it gives the muskrat, daily - was it $65. vs. 8 million?

All with no transparency, no oversight.
