@GottaLaff this is probably my greatest fear right now that essentially cyber bombs are being places in all our gov't computers via DOGE and hardly anyone is talking about it.

@lakelady Those last 6 words.

@lakelady @GottaLaff I'd be pleasantly disappointed in our adversaries if they're not doing it.

@lakelady @GottaLaff

Agree.

Elon talks about how the world is really just a simulation, we're NPCs to manipulate and destroy at will. So the bottom line is, what's best for Elon according to his inner narrative? Including the fact he sees Putin as a real player.

Nor sure exactly what Elon […]

@lakelady @GottaLaff Amen. When this is all over, every single government computer and electronic file should be considered compromised; either infected with malware, distributed to bad actors, or both. It'll all need to be replaced and rebuilt from scratch.

@GottaLaff https://mstdn.social/@ThomHartmann did they not already do that?

@JonChevreau Did you read the article in full?

JonChevreau.mstdn.ca.ap.brid.gy•10 days ago

@GottaLaff I have now and agree it is scary, as was the BBC podcast on the weekend about North Korea’s massive cyber attack last week. Still think Russia won without a shot by helping 45 win in 2016 and then again helping making him 47 late in 2024.

@JonChevreau Yep, me too
