It's a heist.

For me, what’s troubling is the technocratic approach —which might work in corporate America but seems ineffective and outright dangerous when it comes to the role of government — social programs that aren’t intended to be “profitable” and goals that can’t be quantified.

The moment I read Musk was in the Treasury with his little minions I knew he would get in these systems and we will never know the things he has done. And may not know for many years. Fox in the hen in the hen house

Exactly. Musk doesn't need to steal - what he wants is power, and control.

Nice quote: “This isn’t just unauthorized access -- it’s a full-scale redirection of the government’s digital nervous system into the hands of an unelected billionaire.”

Frightening Musk who gave a Nazi salute at the presidential inauguration, & receives more than $20 billion in government contracts for SpaceX, Tesla and Starlink is being given complete control of the legislative branch by House and Senate GOP. No questions asked. Isn't checks & balance their job?

This is THE story. Musk’s access to everyone’s private, personal, data is terrifying. Think targeted “hit lists” to penalize people for whatever the government— or Musk— deems non-compliance. To anything. Republicans in Congress seem to be either too stupid or too craven to understand this.

just like i fucking said! read my post! the heist is happening in real time right in front of our eyes! he's stealing and the ONLY way to fix or undo it is to use a back up from BEFORE Trump took office.

Thus is just the beginning, the planning stages. Once they get the lay of the land they'll really get moving on their plans. How long till these proponets of our nation's enemies want access to our national security systems? What will be the modern shot heard round the world?
