They’re working on US gov’t systems (right?). They’ll have backups, change management and risk assessment studies, contingency plans. And I hear they’re working hundred + hour weeks - a sure fire way to produce the best results
It's not just our personal info and social security numbers these little shits have access to, but our banking accounts linked to the IRS. Remember we all gave this info for $1400 covid relief . Closing my account tomorrow, opening a new one
Why did musk send data mining young computer nerds instead of Gov processes savvy seasoned pros? Maybe he hopes young minds w/b curious & stray outside the given task potentially uncovering more red meat to feed the base & Trump. Deniability side bonus, if illegal, cause 'was done w/o direction'.
I remember being 19. I felt invincible. I acted with reckless abandon sometimes. Now, couple that impaired risk assessment that comes with not having a fully developed prefrontal cortex with a life of never facing real consequences ever for anything because of wealth and you get...that.
Because he wants people unflinchingly loyal which means people with nothing to lose who are too stupid to understand the meaning of what they're doing, but more importantly, because it worked for twitter
Like fundamentally the strategy of "throw nepotism hire teenagers at the codebase until it works while forcing experienced employees to stop any bad code" was what he did at Twitter, and it worked there!
He found some dudes who probably describe themselves as 10x coders, were on the school's cybersecurity competition team, and love AI, because that's the demographic he wants to love him and think he's cool, and told them "hey let's take down the deep state" and they jumped on it
To my mind, the problem for these kids is criminal exposure. Whether authorized by the President or not (I'm guessing not) they're all committing serious ongoing crimes.
His people self-select for never having heard of "Chesterson's Fence."
Doge is prolly all borderline personality disorders incapable of feeling empathy (which I’ve heard empathy is now being called a sin anyways) and will see themselves as heroes. But heroes to who?
as Musk just wants to destroy it, it's exactly what brings it into ruins. I remember times when they offered retired COBOL-programmers further contracts to keep their knowledge....
This is normal for these big financial systems. How are you gonna take it down long enough to perform meaningful updates like an entirely different language? Such a challenge.
Yes, my experience with ChatGPT code is it's so, so great at considering security & intrusion (NOT). Plus, the Mainframe Cobol training set is like 5 programs.
I'm disgusted. At this point all these are treasons acts worthy of having one tongue removed and fingers amputated unless the ask for the firing squad first
I would hate to be any of their parents right now.
At one level, these are humans w/out fully formed brains.
I don’t think all MAGA eat their young, so I’d think there’s at least a few terrified seeing their kid be the target of 75M enraged peeps (& we can’t even assume the parents are MAGA)
I know there’s got to be more than one mother wondering why a middle-aged billionaire wants to hang out with her college-aged son. It was my first thought.
IDK if there have ever been rumors muskrat is inclined towards barely-of-age boys. But could his motive be that they will be the scape🐐🐐?
And so they stop issuing social security checks and medicare payments to doctors and hospitals, medicaid payments to nursing homes, etc. etc. Who will stop them from doing this? Really, who?
What happens if the funds just disappear? Who’s responsible right now?? NO ONE IS!!!
All federal funds could be gone tomorrow and DEI is who they would blame.
Prepare emergency contacts. Have a list of local orgs/agencies who can offer asstnc if needed. Seek help from friends/family. Asking for help is strength, not failure.
Stay proactive, informed & connected to your community.
Remember-hope for the best, prepare for the worst.👊
Berkeley should revoke his diploma. All of these six Musk loving sycophants should lose their diplomas and be jailed for life at Guantanamo… this, especially for Musk.
I'm sure they'll find federal employees much more helpful after that first payroll is missed. Preferably starting with security guards and janitors, then working up the payroll from there.
Wait...I forgot the "" around "helpful"
Be careful around any windows or stairs.
Why can’t those who have power in Congress and the Senate not see that what they’re doing is domestic cyber terrorism?
Elon and his minions should be arrested
Because it’s the people who have the power in Congress and the Senate that actually empowered Leon and his marauding black hat hacking minions to do everything they are doing right now😤
Because he probably thinks he has the president protect him, but the president not gonna be protected for much longer and then these kids are going to prison and where they belong
Like always everyone around him goes to prison. He’s been nowhere near any of these crimes. He’s focused fake tariff threats and renaming crap as a distraction while others break laws and go to prison on his behalf.
You said it! I did check the SS website last night and deposit is scheduled to be made right on time. Of course, things can change in the next couple of weeks.
Uhhhhh
NO
He/they who are at the keystrokes of this take need to suffer the very applicable application of lead poisoning, being applied individually at 138 grams
I am literally obsessively checking my bank account three times a day just to make sure it hasn’t been zeroed now that I know unelected, unappointed, unqualified technofascist goons with absolutely no oversight have my account and routing numbers.
I’ve been giving far too much thought about at what point I take all my money out. I’ve been an adult for a long time and have never, ever had to seriously consider this.
I am seriously considering it! I mean who knows what is coming down the pipeline with these facist thieves. Its pretty obvious that the corruption in Washington is rampant.Now it's in your face and the guardrails are rapidly disappearing!
I just wish there was a way to stop paying out federal taxes. Taxes for what? They r dismantling government so technically we shouldn’t pay anything. I did think about a bank run!!
And not just because out account and routing numbers are in the hands of technofascists goons likely being recruited by foreign intelligence agencies as we speak.
Should I even be contributing to my 401k at this point? What about my son’s college fund? Are we going to see hyperinflation?
Well Matt they need to ensure backdoor access via countless hacks so that when trump 'kicks musk out' he will still have access. Make no mistake musk intends to put all 6T into offshore accounts and flee to russia for protection. The US will be permanently crippled 1/2
The democrats even if elected 100% across the board will not be able to poof back into existence 6T without destroying the entire economy. America is already dead and there is no saving ourselves only thing we can do now is to avenge ourselves and take it out of the people who allowed this.
I have to believe those systems (data and OS) are backed up daily in case of something like a EM pulse, solar flare, cyber attack, etc. unless the #MuskMinions also have access to the backups...
Go to FaceBook and tell every maggat there Elon Musk has their SS # AND ALL INFO. ASSOCIATED WITH IT. Trumpists never see this news! They are completely in the dark to what is happening in this country.
I cannot stress enough how utterly fucked that is.
People with the skill and experience to repair that are so few and far between on the ground you really do NOT want that happening. I don't care how much of a genius this guy thinks he is.
🤬🤬I have done Cobol. All it takes is one comma in the wrong place, and the whole program blows up. Lord help us. My SSA check better arrive on time or else!!!!

There are 18 Republican senators up for election in 2 years.
Voters must fund their opponents with #target18
Burn him to the ground
Can it be that hard?

…I’m joking here. This is horrifying
Wow I sure hope if he tries there’s someone there to stop him
I hope they’re doing code reviews

This is a crime of truly breathtaking scale.

Insanity.
I doubt they even need to do much recruiting, Musk is already in the pocket of the Saudis and has been in regular contact with Putin since 2022
But I can’t tell if he’ll run or if the mars thing is embedded so deep in the delusion of grandeur that he’ll hang and make the US keep paying for it
Shit.
I do not have faith that 19 - 25 year olds will be able to restore a tape backup to an 80 year old mainframe
At least for you clear-thinking Democrats.
