25yr Old with Elon Musk Ties Has Direct Access to the Federal Payment System

  • "Technically I don't see why this couldn't happen," a federal IT worker tells WIRED in a phone call late on Monday night, referring to the possibility of a DOGE employee being granted elevated access to a government server. "If you would have asked me a week ago, I'd have told you that this kind of thing would never in a million years happen. But now, who the fuck knows."

    Concerning

  • Probably one of the most important Wired articles in years. Surprising it isn't on the front page.

  • Tangentially, people attempting to share some of this news are having their First Amendment rights violated.

    This occurs because government employee Elon Musk is censoring them for talking about his government job and his government co-workers, which also breaks the law that says their identities are public information.

    I guess what I'm saying is, spread the news, and if we're lucky and the Redcaps don't burn the Reichstag, you might someday get a few cents out of a class action lawsuit.

    So is it System Z?

  • decades of government rot finally being subjected to the most trivial auditing and you have liberals invoking the Reichstag fire

    is this where we are? you literally cannot have even demand trivial operational competency without being called a nazi?

  • Great idea on Musk's part: the Deep State can't go after their wives, jobs or kids since they don't have them. At the same time they are smart enough to mine some databases for fraud.
