How is this legal? Why are the democrats not fighting back? We did not elect this man to office so why does he have access? Where is the law? He should be arrested as a foreign entity trying to run our country! I don’t get it!
The real question is, why is Donald Trump still trying to undermine democracy and act as if he’s above the law? He was voted out, yet he continues to interfere, spread misinformation, and push dangerous narratives that threaten the country.
follow independent media, like WIRED that identified Musk's young IT engineers, go to sites like Bernie Sanders, who's been fighting corruption for forty years, call every elected official you can, try to inform Repub. that Musk has their financial data. This is beyond politics now. Impeach now.
Only 14 senators are MAGA. Fear of Trump is one thing, but fear of your entire constituency rising up, of all political parties, is another. This breach and theft affects all Americans and the implications are apocalyptic.
But we kept hearing how China and Russia were hacking our systems & stealing our data...who knew you could have a billionaire who works with both those countries just walk on in & take it?
Is it just a coincidence that Herr Musk is launching a financial payment function in Twitter (X is a stupid name) at the same time he is gaining access to the most private financial information of every individual and company in this country? 🤦
He fully intends to rob the American people in the American country of every fucking penny to build his fucking concentration camps. He needs to be arrested yesterday and beheaded today.
WIRED identified 6 men, aged 19 to 24, who have been listed in internal OPM documents as either "experts" or "special advisors" to the agency's director. The engineers — Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, & Ethan Shaotran
Politicians better actually do something this time. If this coup isn't being viewed as the second Jan 6th then you're not alarmed enough. Just because it's not violent yet doesn't lessen the severity of this breach.
You're absolutely right! It's just no one has died yet, so it's not sensational enough for them to report on consistently. This is a systemic takeover of our gov, and they've all been allowing it to happen for years.
He's probably had my social for many years, along with plenty of other very rich white men. This is more concerning than just "Social Security" numbers, to me. Way more serious.
Do you all not have any live streamers or stringers to record them from the public accessible areas. You know protected areas like public sidewalks & legally parked vehicles?
I don't know why you think I haven't. I was part of filling up all the reps voicemail boxes in California. The reps here are already sharing my opinion on things, but thanks for the assumption.
Email your blue state AG. You are the victim of identity theft. Name Elon and his employees identified in the Wired article as prospective criminal defendants. I did this yesterday. The IRS code prohibits disclosure of this information. IRC Section 6103.
And what if your state AG is Ken Paxton? 🤮 Does he bother suing for anything like this? He’s spent the last 4 years suing the federal government for everything possible. Not sure what he’s doing now that his buddy is in the White House.
That’s tough. If you live in Austin do you have a D county attorney? People are doing what they can. That’s all you can be expected to do. But just know: it’s clear your blue state resident counterparts will carry the water. And do all legally possible.
I’m not in Austin. Pretty much everything here is republican. Democrats mostly don’t bother to even run for anything. A whole bunch of races on the last ballot were republican running unopposed or against a libertarian; mostly decided in primary. Mayor and city council are technically nonpartisan.
Call anyway. This is on state Attorneys General radar. Follow it up with a letter. Insist on a criminal state investigation for violation of any STATE law. These people need to be investigated and charged if they’ve violated state law. Turn up the heat.
And we all worried about the major data breaches occurring in the past by foreign hackers. Well we have a South African and his team of hackers doing it admittedly and it has the blessing of our leaders. What’s wrong with this picture? Any why pay for services like life lock?

Is there a way to get Musk arrested for an International crime by INTERPOL? THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO GET HIM OUT OF THE UNITED STATES AND HAVE HIM ARRESTED???🤔
Call the police and put him under arrest. Private citizens legally don’t have access to this information. And that’s all he is. No classified information clearance. No HIPA clearance. Trespassing. Just to name a few.
Yes. My understanding is he did. I think he needs to be stopped immediately and congress needs to put him under oath. And they need to bring all the kids he brought in there too.
This is such bullshit. No offense, I appreciate you, but why am I watching the fucking Grammys and not a full network takeover by the Democrats explains the assault on our country, on our persons. All these skeptical republicans falling inline are they being blackmailed/ bribed by this info.
Everyone needs to contact their congressman. Also inform those who support him. Right wing media is not reporting this.
This is totally illegal.
They must chose country over party.
Not sure about my representative, but it’s going to be a waste of time contacting TX senators Cruz and Cornyn. My representative is also a Republican, but not one that’s definitely useless like Cruz.
serious question, what specific laws are being broken? the comment sections all ask why we’re not stopping this and so far i haven’t found a law cited. any specialists feel like weighing in?
oh i’m on your side, but that’s not a specific law. there are several points in the constitution that protect privacy in one way or another, but i’m asking for which laws specifically.
• Unauthorized access (10 yrs per count)
• Wire fraud (20 years per count)
• Conspiracy against the U.S. (5 yrs)
• Abuse of government authority (5-10 yrs)
Leon has been routing around in Treasury files all weekend with his little f'k bois. If Putin didn't have a copy of the information by noon yesterday I'll be some freaking surprised.
Largest data breach in world history. “
( Heather Cox Richardson)
Sunday Feb 2 in her talk on Facebook. Talk to Republicans about this because they don’t see this on Fox - our assignment.
The past 2 weeks have been a lot of what I feared. And sets the stage for the rest of my fears to play out. Difficult to believe that we will be the ones that when history is discussed- everyone says, how did they let that happen? 🥵😡🤬
How much will us, the American people take? How much will our govt continue to erode till it's completely an authoritative state? We're all shouting for someone to help. Maybe it's us. Maybe it's the millions of us screaming online. It's definitely time to place that anger in the right place.
And Fox is reporting that Musk has already identified millions of fraudulent recipients. They are well pleased with Elon's progress. Will I receive my ss?
Please share with your viewers! I tried copying and pasting into the comments on your YT, trying that a few times didn't work (maybe they consider it spam). Would appreciate if you could get the word out. This is on ALL OF US TO STOP!
Why Why Why... Didn't the Dems SHOUT ABOUT PROJECT 2025 from the MOUNTAINTOPS?!? So that America would Understand?All of what's happening- is to the letter in that document!!!
Seriously illegal fucked up shit is being done by Trump & Musk. This is a massive data breach and identity theft. This is what happens when you elect criminals. Class action lawsuit time.
Sadly, the public has been so hornswaggled by rightwing media that when the Democrats do call out fascism (which, agreed, they don't do enough) everyone acts like they're spoiled hippie children calling their parents fascists for refusing to let them borrow the family car.
Thanks a lot guys. What do you represent? cuz it certainly isn't us.

Along with it he has access to a whole trove of personal information that could be matched over other databases to conduct voter suppression campaigns or used for microtargeting political ads like Cambridge Analytica did.
Of course he'd never do that because that would be illegal and unethical.
And your full name, and your address, and your social security number, and your banking information if you have social security direct deposited. And has been caught attaching external hard drives to the Treasury department computers for purposes unknown.
How long before they remove this website? Next thing you know, you'll get notice that your savings/401's & such have been invested in some privatized business of theirs. They'll be telling us where our money is & say you are now an investor. Seriously, they are coming for all the money.
I see nothing to keep them from stopping/reducing our SS (and Medicare) as well as raiding our bank accounts and investment accounts.
People are saying pull your money out, but where is it safe??
Ok, so apparently there are hours. I accessed it earlier today during regular hours. Please try tomorrow and I’d love to know how it goes. Hang in there.
Oh no! Did it look like this? I got that accessing it on my phone, but at the bottom as you see it was ready to download, which it did. I got it. Maybe try on your phone if you didn’t?
And when so many of us warned that if tЯump were elected there would never be free and fair elections (such as they are) again, this is what we meant. Musk and his child soldiers are downloading our Personal Identifying Info to personal servers. Now, how do YOU think they'll use this information? 🤔
This makes no sense. Just go to the building and physically kick them out. If i walked my unauthorized self into a government facility, I’d be carried out. What’s stopping them from doing the same to these people?
The govt workers in the building tried to stop them. Anyone who did was fired on the spot and removed from the premises. This is a coup. We are in lawless territory now. These goons are acting like the Mafia.
This is the shock portion of the shock & awe attack from Musk & his band of shady engineers. They conducted this shit at night for a reason! Everyone, including our elected officials, were caught flat-footed. And if there were officers guarding the bldg at the time, are they loyal to tЯump? 🤷♀️

what the fuck is that shit? No oversight because they don't answer to the government but they can walk in and furlough and fire everyone who gets in their way? Fuck this shit.
That nobody is drawing up charges of espionage/sabotage/whatever legal term best equates/covers "meddling" and "unauthorised access" screams "compliance."
If any of us did remotely similar, it'd be close to life in prison for the above citations.
Any time officials say "bUt THeR nOT aLoUD," I can
Jesus H Christ. There is literally nothing any of us or the Dems can do to stop this. The election built this. We are all beyond fucked. Nice job America. You suck.
meaningfully affect change because there is no focus amongst them on "who decides what we do." That is the stage everyone is in right now, and people are still squabbling at each other instead of the correct entity of corrupt human being selling us out for their own motives.
Ain’t it funny all those antigovernment people out there voting for someone to drain the swamp now have all of their personal info in the hands of a billionaire tech bro. Smfh
Just gonna say this... Your SSN is readily available to pretty much anyone with a credit card. We treat it as a secret, but it isn't. (I'm not saying you should post it to social media, but you know those "so, we got hacked" notices you get every week or so? Yeah, they got your SSN.)
I would add to that your date of birth, address, marital status, place of employment, dependents, and banking information, ie anything you have ever put on a tax form. It. Is. Frightening.

Can you please fulfill your oath and do something!?! Otherwise you are complicit. Even a statement would be nice!!
WHAT IF Musk/DOGE is backing up & siphoning off our govt data? Are DOGE terms of reference written on ANY paper? How can a govt contractor be allowed access to govt payment systems? In the fullness of time, DOGE will be the greatest spy scandal of all time. https://www.commondreams.org/news/musk-doge-overreach
@repjasmine.bsky.social @pressley.house.gov @pressley.house.gov @beyer.house.gov @jayapal.house.gov @repgwenmoore.bsky.social @gene4va.bsky.social Can you please do something while our government is being destroyed?!? Even a statement would be nice!
Trump will wait until the damage is done, and then claim he had no idea once his base starts to turn. These kids will be Martyrs for Baron Drumpf's campaign though
As @repjasmine.bsky.social said in an interview today, there are Republicans that don’t agree with any of this but they’re afraid to speak up in worry they won’t get donations towards their next election if they do. Um, hello?! There may not be future elections if we don’t stop this attempted coup!!
When (god forbid, if) this is all over, US citizens and government workers better get a payout for the emotional distress and rights they took away from us. They are letting them do this. Lawsuits upon lawsuits.
I tried logging in to my social security website and received the message that there has been a data breach and I am recommended to reset my password. That attempt failed and I am now locked out for 24 hours.
Do not reset your password. Thank you for letting people know. Scammers get you to reset your password so they have it. Spread the word for those that are trying to reset theirs too.
I feel like it’s the one agency I haven’t seen mentioned. Can I just put my money in an escrow account or something like this administration is a bad landlord?
Right? Like, I will pay state but if I pay federal who am I really paying??? To do what? Because it’s not clear now so… I don’t want to give them anything until I know.
We all need to call our congress people every single day and light fires and make them do something! THEY WORK FOR US! We have to make them do their job! Let’s do it!
If Dems intervene, they'll just be blamed anyway. As it stands, this falls completely on Republican shoulders. This is their chaos so contact them and put the pressure on them to do something about it. Blaming the people not in control doesn't work. Blame the people in control & their grifter Felon.
I don’t blame them for the mess I blame them for not fighting. It’s silence to all of this? That’s my point. I fully know who is doing it but I can’t see my D’s really fighting!! That’s my point, not blaming them asking WHERE THEY ARE!??
I 100% agree with this, and am usually the first to leap in and defend Dems from the misplaced ire of horseshoe leftists, but I gotta say the messaging from the party over the past week+ has been less than pathetic.
This was Musk's ultimate goal
That's why he has kids working for him
They don't realize the depths of what they are doing
Now he has the info on our spies for Putin

The answer is exactly what they should do now.
The Founding Fathers created impeachment for crises like these, but that's not exactly going to work right now.
Maybe we should flood this
Effectively, it stops a bad actor from taking out credit cards or loans using your name&data.
You get a password and you can un-freeze any time. Just remember to re-freeze after.
Do you think the MAGA courts are on your side?
They’re not all MAGA courts yet.
This is totally illegal.

The Republicans totally supported 19 to 24 year olds with NO SECURITY CLEARANCE access all our data!

There are so many more people with no influence on what we all do, than there are people who have *all the influence* on what we all do.

We’ve taken too many trainings to let this guy act like he’s above the law.

Don’t let neo-Nazombies takeover.
Make them famous.

At the time Musk joked that “A twelve-year-old script kiddie could hack into Yellen’s laptop.”
There's gonna be even more to flay after him, so we might as well rip apart the rich right winger's mansions, after all.
