Summary

Elon Musk’s DOGE website mistakenly published classified intelligence data, including personnel and budget details for the National Reconnaissance Office.

The breach sent Defense Department officials scrambling, as the NRO’s headcount and budget are typically classified. Intelligence aides confirmed the leak is problematic under current security standards.

Concerns have also been raised about DOGE’s inexperienced staff. The White House has not commented, and the site was later hacked.

The website posting classified info, not being secure, and hiring a 19 year old who leaked classified data at a previous job. Hmm, almost seems like Elon is actively undermining the US government and inviting various groups and countries to steal our data.

Lol "intelligence officials" can eat my whole asshole. They let the monkeys in without even a background check; they've earned their goddamn circus.

There is a reason he suddenly started bringing his little human shield with him everywhere. Suddenly he has a good relationship with his kid right after Trump got shot. I'm sure just a coincidence.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Anyone who's willing to shoot him won't let that stop them

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 days ago

Oh no! They're worried!

Fucking do something about it for once

[–] [email protected] 30 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Of course. Trump was keeping classified documents in his bathroom after his first term and the American people rewarded him with a second. This is what Americans want.

Worried, concerned, alarmed. Shut the fuck up if you aren't going to take action now, and tell us what those actions are. We know they are actively destroying what they can while making bank. These words mean nothing if you say them and never take action. Maybe in a different time they would carry weight, but not today.

Develop heart attack gun and extensive ways to fabricate blackmail. Only use it against peaceful socialists like MLK.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 days ago

Well yeah, because peaceful socialists don't generally go around developing heart attack guns, their enemies do.

How do these people not have their fucking doors kicked in for this shit?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago

That's why I'm going to my states senate office and raising hell. You should too. Monday Feb 17th. Be the change my friend

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

Because those who should be doing that are complicit, that's how.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I can see why he's carrying that kid of his around now.

If you don't want to hurt the kid, an anti material rifle would make short work of whatever body armour he's wearing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago (3 children)

hes using him as a human shield, against crticism, and as a bullet"proof" armor.
