Billings Posted February 1 Posted February 1 This is actually kind of unnerving “We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems,” one of the officials said. “That is creating great concern. There is no oversight. It creates real cybersecurity and hacking implications.” https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/31/musk-aides-lock-government-workers-out-of-computer-systems-at-us-agency-reuters.html Quote
FresnoFacts Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Amazing reports, if true, about some of the people Musk and DOGE have brought into the OPM "According to the same sources, other people at the top of the new OPM food chain include two people with apparent software engineering backgrounds, whom WIRED is not naming because of their ages. One, a senior adviser to the director, is a 21-year-old whose online résumé touts his work for Palantir, the government contractor and analytics firm cofounded by billionaire Peter Thiel, who is its chair. (The former CEO of PayPal and a longtime Musk associate, Thiel is a Trump supporter who helped bankroll the 2022 Senate campaign of his protégé, Vice President JD Vance.) The other, who reports directly to Scales, graduated from high school in 2024, according to a mirrored copy of an online résumé and his high school’s student magazine; he lists jobs as a camp counselor and a bicycle mechanic among his professional experiences, as well as a summer role at Neuralink, Musk’s brain-computer interface company." https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-lackeys-office-personnel-management-opm-neuralink-x-boring-stalin/ A 2024 high school grad who did a summer internship at Neuralink? Wow. 1 Quote
SWspartan Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Trump needs to send Musk to Gitmo. Oh wait, he owns Trump. 🙄 Quote

We have a duly elected, FUNCTIONING executive asserting his constitutionally mandated control over the executive branch. Only a complete moron would call this a coup. A COUP is when a pile of corrupt lying unelected conspirators wrest control of the government from a NON FUNCTIONING executive with a skull full of mashed potatoes while LYING to the American public about his condition. Sit this one out. Better yet, admit you're a dumbass and apologize. 1 Quote
SalinasSpartan Posted February 1 Posted February 1 As I said in another thread, I do not believe these actions by the Trump administration are “just about reducing the number of government employees and making the government more efficient”. 1 Quote
Wyobraska Posted February 1 Posted February 1 This is a nightmare scenario and completely unacceptable. Musk is a security risk and there needs to be oversight from adults. Quote
mysfit Posted February 1 Posted February 1 https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/musk-doge-treasury-payment-system-rcna190222 I doubt what Americans want actually matters. The robber Barron's are in charge and they now control the checkbook with no oversight 1 1 1 Quote

FresnoFacts Posted February 2 Posted February 2 On 2/1/2025 at 1:04 PM, azgreg said: That means Musk and his DOGE worker bees have access to Personally Identifiable Information on nearly every American. Treasury handles tax payments/refunds, Social Security payments, contract payments to businesses and individuals, etc. I doubt the DOGE team signed any privacy agreements or NDAs or even an ethics policy. 1 1 Quote
FresnoFacts Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Musk says DOGE is "shutting down these illegal payments" after General Flynn posts a list of Lutheran organizations receiving Federal grant payments for things like refugee and migrant services. So maybe it is President Musk in charge. Quote

smltwnrckr Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Nah. DEI is the real problem. Black people and women working for the government is dangerous. These dudes are there because of the meritocracy. Relax, guy. Quote
