Elon Musk Installs Illegal Server to Seize All Federal Workers’ Data
newrepublic.com
Elon Musk’s DOGE henchmen are helping him make his most terrifying power grab yet.

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.

      My first thought when seeing the headline was “quick, somebody tell the conservatives that he’s using Hillary’s server to do it, then maybe something will happen!”

      Hillary had the decency to destroy Libya. Did Elon not get the memo that America is the holy country of the chosen people?

        Gaddafi was a fucking monster. No one misses him or his corpse freezer. So when the people started rising up, the UN said, sure, we can help out a bit. And so flew a handful of missiles. And zero troops.

        No, the problem is that after giving minimal help to oust Gaddafi, no one stepped in to restore order. So the civil war continued.

        As a note, the Arab Spring is part of why the Saudis helped Leon buy Twitter. To make sure it couldn’t be used for that sort of uprising again.

          Thanks for bringing back the slave market to Libya!

          You might want to recheck all the propaganda you consumed. Most of it has already been declassified as lies.

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Libyan_rape_allegations

              In April 2011 NBC News reported that United States ambassador, Susan Rice, told a closed-door meeting of officials at the UN that the Libyan military is using rape as a weapon in the war with the rebels and some had been issued the anti-impotency drug.

              Amnesty International said many false reports that Libyan forces committed rape had been spread as disinformation by rebel forces, and that it could not find a “single victim of rape or a doctor who knew about somebody being raped”. In June 2011, a UN investigator did not find evidence of mass rapes, and branded the claims as “hysteria”

              Reuters 2011 (along with the rest of the propaganda consurtium): U.S. says Gaddafi troops raping, issued Viagra: envoys

              Say do unproven mass rape allegations sound familiar somewhere? I vaguely recall some other mass rape allegations spread by the entire media apparatus against a certain group recently.
