This....this doesn't seem right. I'm not saying they wouldn't have a right to access it, but that they block the workers from tracking that seems wrong.

Weird, that a person, that was born in Africa has that much power in the United States. I have a feeling Musk is more dangerous, than the illegals immigrants. That Trump wants to get rid of.

they block the workers

I am amazed that Musk just hacked the US Gov computers. The term they are using is hostel takeover. According to reports, Musk's aides have taken control of key data systems at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), locking out senior government officials.

The situation be likened to taking the reins of a team of horses. The absence of fail-safes and oversight mechanisms has created a situation where Musk's aides have significant control. There seems to be no visibility into what Musk's team is doing with the computer and data systems. Senior career employees at OPM have had their access revoked to some of the department's data systems.

Officials affected by the move can still log on and access email but can no longer see the massive datasets that cover the federal workforce.

According to the U.S. Constitution, a person must be a natural-born citizen to be eligible for the presidency. Trump has always been the "Lackey". Only now Musk seems to be the Lackey for Trump. Just who is the "The Prince and the Pauper" in this story. Only the Prince seems to be Baron when we have reports that Musk and Baron spend hours talking with each other.

They say Baron knows how to control the younger voters that his father needed to get re elected. So behind the scenes this maybe a lot more of a three ring circus that we know about. Because none of these people care about money. They are all about power and control.

Musk didn’t hack government’s computers, he was given access (which he used to (apparently,[allegedly]) used to lock employees out of their systems.

He’s bought a “place-at-the-table” and is going to sit wherever he thinks he can get away with It!

He has control over one branch of the government. We have three branches. The legislative controls the payroll for the judicial.

He does? Not that I am or would pay attention but I've never heard him say a single word..... is he a big social media guy?

 

[Diamond72]

I've never heard him say a single word.....

Barron's mom raised him to control his tongue. Too bad she can not get the daddy to control what he says. Although he has improved quite a bit from where he was at 4 years ago.

Barron Trump played a significant role in his father's campaign strategy to engage young voters. At just 18 years old, Barron provided key insights on how to connect with younger audiences1. He suggested that his father appear on popular podcasts and engage with influencers who have a strong following among Gen Z and millennials. This strategy included appearances on shows like "The Joe Rogan Experience" and others that resonated with younger demographics1.

Barron's understanding of social media and modern communication platforms helped his father's campaign reach a demographic that had previously been less engaged. This approach was credited with helping Donald Trump secure a significant portion of the youth vote in the 2024 election. (copilot)

He didn't have a single social media person to tell him this stuff? I've heard the same thing about barron but....just seems......

Really?

I've yet to see Barron Trump doing anything beside wave awkwardly and look like he'd rather be somewhere else. I hear he's in university now. I hope he has a good time, success and I wish him all the best. Life certainly hasn't dealt him an easy hand, loads of money nonwithstanding.

 

[Nithavela]

I'd be wary of people who claim to know exactly what is being said when nobody was listening.

 

[Diamond72]

I hear he's in university now.

He does not want to give up his penthouse in trump tower. Even though he shares it with the servants. The university is a half hour away but he most likely takes a helicopter. They can land on the top of Trump Tower and there is a port about an mile from NYU.

Musk, Trump and Barron are a three ring circus. There is always an interesting story making the rounds about all of them. Barron and Musk spent a lot of time talking with each other during Trumps Thanksgiving dinner in Florida.

...nothing to see here: (relieved I filed my taxes early this year...and got my return)


A 25-year-old engineer named Marko Elez, who previously worked for two Elon Musk companies, has direct access to Treasury Department systems responsible for nearly all payments made by the US government, three sources tell WIRED.

Two of those sources say that Elez’s privileges include the ability not just to read but to write code on two of the most sensitive systems in the US government: the Payment Automation Manager and Secure Payment System at the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS). Housed on a secure mainframe, these systems control, on a granular level, government payments that in their totality amount to more than a fifth of the US economy.

A 25-Year-Old With Elon Musk Ties Has Direct Access to the Federal Payment System

The Bureau of the Fiscal Service is a sleepy part of the Treasury Department. It’s also where, sources say, a 25-year-old engineer tied to Elon Musk has admin privileges over the code that controls Social Security payments, tax returns, and more.

Can Musk build a system that he can not hack?

 

[wing2000]

Can Musk build a system that he can not hack?

I don't understand the question.
No hacking was required in this case. Musk, or more accurately, his wiz kids, had (or have) access to the entire system.

 

[Nithavela]

Can Musk build a system that he can not hack?

He can certainly destroy a system to the point that it can't be hacked.

By the way, has anyone checked if the USA still exists? Lately, I mean.

Wait. His father has him...living with the help?


You're kidding right?

"Hacked" you make it sound like a crime. Everything Musk is doing is authorized by the President himself..

You make it sound like he's going about digging up evidence of all Democrats mischief like he's a lone hacker..They're being extreme transparent and do you know how much Elon has already exposed and brought into the open for Americans to see.

There is a purpose and reason why Trump is allowing Musk to do this and instead of thinking he's doing something wrong, especially to uncovering all the corruption of Democrats and the deep state remember Trump has given him authority to do it.

No, he's not a lone hacker, he's got six helpers. But yes, that's what he's doing, trying to dig up evidence of "Democratic mischief." That's what he says he's doing, anyway.

There is a purpose and reason why Trump is allowing Musk to do this and instead of thinking he's doing something wrong, especially to uncovering all the corruption of Democrats and the deep state remember Trump has given him authority to do it.

And of course Trump has absolute authority.

Like what. With links please cause I haven't heard anything.

There is no leadership better than vengeful leadership. And it appears a lot of Christians are frothing at the mouth in their excitement over it.


"There's no hate like Christian love" is the new internet response for conservative christians.
