The #DOGE #Takeover Is Worse Than You Think. It’s worse than you think because the people running the govt seem to have no higher #mission than to watch it burn. DOGE’s cuts have no apparent regard for civil society or opportunity costs or long-term strategic thinking. Their targets are Elon Musk’s and Project 2025’s targets. They have found no #fraud, just #democracy at work. wired.com/story/doge-worse-tha #trump #musk #government wired.com/story/doge-worse-tha

Mr. Musk now finds himself spearheading a radical takeover of the federal bureaucracy, empowered by President Trump in ways that have no historical parallel for an unelected adviser.

As #Constitutional #Crises Mount, US #Press Sleepwalks Into #Autocracy. Elon Musk, unelected centibillionaire who threw Nazi salutes at inauguration has wrested control of #Treasury Depart payment system after forcing out most senior career civil servant, #DavidLebryk. As CNN (1/31/25) reported, Treasury #takeover happened after Trump’s team had repeatedly asked about the department’s ability to stop payments, to which Lebryk had insisted, “We don’t do that.” fair.org/home/as-constitutiona #journalism

hostile takeover:

A team including current and former employees of Musk assumed command of OPM on Jan. 20, the day Trump took office. They have moved sofa beds onto the fifth floor of the agency’s headquarters, which contains the director’s office and can only be accessed with a security badge or a security escort, one of the OPM employees said. The sofa beds have been installed so the team can work around the clock, the employee said.

Ok gang, can we all agree I tried? I tried all day not to post news stuff.

But omg, sound the alarm bells! This is insanely bad from #infosec , #legality, #natsec, #dictatorship #coup #fascist #takeover standpoints. This is straight out of the Hitler takeover of the Reichstag playbook.

Aides to #elonmusk have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees... dates of birth, Social Security numbers, appraisals, home addresses, pay grades and length of service of government workers, the officials said.

"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."

Oracle’s Larry Ellison joined Nov. 2020 call about contesting Trump’s loss

#Larry #Ellison, the billionaire co-founder and chairman of the software company #Oracle -- and the biggest backer of #Elon #Musk’s attempted #Twitter #takeover --

⭐️participated in a call shortly after the 2020 election that focused on 🆘strategies for contesting the legitimacy of the vote, according to court documents and a participant.

The Nov. 14 call included Sen. Lindsey O. #Graham (R-S.C.); Fox News host Sean #Hannity; Jay #Sekulow, an attorney for Donald Trump; and James #Bopp Jr., an attorney for "True the Vote", a Texas-based nonprofit that has promoted disputed #claims of widespread #voter #fraud.

♦️Ellison’s participation illustrates a previously unknown dimension in the multifaceted campaign to challenge Trump’s loss,
an effort still coming into focus months later.

⚠️It is the first known example of a 🔸"technology industry titan"
joining
🔹powerful figures in conservative politics, media and law
♦️to strategize about Trump’s post-loss options
💥and confer with an activist group that had already filed four lawsuits seeking to uncover evidence of illegal voting.
