Summary
Elon Musk allegedly installed an unauthorized server at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), gaining access to sensitive federal employee data, including Social Security numbers, home addresses, and medical histories.
Young, inexperienced staffers are reportedly using this access to target positions for removal, particularly DEI offices.
Security concerns have been raised, with fears of hacking and HIPAA violations.
Senior officials have been locked out of key systems, limiting oversight of DOGE’s actions, which could significantly impact the federal workforce.
Ok so this is really a hostile takeover right out of a black mirror episode. It’s starting to dawn on me
I mean, yes, it really is. We’re watching what may be the end of democracy. We’re only a month in and we have unelected oligarchs making policy decisions and budget measures without voting or congressional oversight or even representation.
This is the definition of a coup, it’s just that there’s no tanks rolling down the street. Yet.
Our best-case scenario is that they just want to steal our money, and once they fill their bellies with your private data and identity data and of course, money, they will return to their dens to digest the feast. Our worst-case scenario is that the 2024 election will be remembered as America’s last attempt at democracy.
While I appreciate that it dawned on you… Why did it take this long? They told us exactly what they were going to do.
I don’t keep informed very close on US matters
Like [insert dystopian story here], but stupider. That seems to be the theme.
Don’t worry, musk is aligned with Trump, so the anti tyranny gun people are too busy bending over to give a fuck
I’m all for fighting tyranny and oppressive governments wanting to take ma guns. However, I vote R and it’s not my rights that are being trampled. It’s my own team that is seeking the end of democracy. So, I will gladly bend over and take it without lube for my boy, Trumpy and Musky.
At this point, I’m starting to just hope that I live long enough to get to the end of the “First They Came for” sermon and see all of the shocked Pikachu faces as all of these braindead fascist fucks are up against the wall. “But I didn’t think they were talking about me!”
We’ve been stuck in a Black Mirror episode since 2020.
