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.

    Mark my words, the lawsuits on this are going to be EPIC. He is not elected, he does not hold an official position that has ever existed, and he is meddling with extremely sensitive information, I promise you there is lawyers licking their chops and praising the universe for sending this idiot to put their kids thru college. He isn’t vetted, he isn’t approved by Congress, and he’s dabbling in things that result in very serious prison sentences when handled improperly… Trumps judges simply won’t be able to ignore the extreme ramifications when a slick high priced lawyer is spelling out how musks scent is all over documents leading to vast amounts of financial loss. Long story short, there’s a reason people need a long list of credentials before accessing things like the OPM, and those entail the financial responsibilities that come with mishandling… Musky gonna learn this one the hard way.

      I don’t disagree, but who’s gonna press charges? The second that happens, The “proud” boys, 3%ers et al mobilize and begin wiping out the prosecutors families.

        Agreed. White nationalists are very keen to murder a judges children. Even when they don’t have presidential backing. It helps that they have disproportionate representation within law enforcement and corrections.

        Just look at the Delphi murders. The local cops got rid of the FBI, fabricated evidence, destroyed evidence and, coerced witnesses. The local prison where their framed suspect was being held tortured a confession out of the guy over the course of several months in solitary confinement. And the judge and prosecution conspired to prevent half the defence’s evidence and witnesses being used and preventing them from suggesting alternative suspects. All this to protect Patrick westfall, a meth dealing white supremacist who brutally and ritualistically slaughtered his snitch’s daughter.
