Borges alleges that a little-known federal tech team called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, copied the government’s master Social Security database into a cloud system that lacked normal oversight.

If his account is correct, the mishandling of this information could expose hundreds of millions of people to fraud and abuse for the rest of their lives.

This sounds like DOGE is going to cost the USA a shitton of money fixing their bullshit.

This also sounds like one particular person, with a fuck ton of cash, should be held responsible and pay for damages.

LOL. Who am I kidding. Musk will get an invented award when SSI collapses due to fraud. Then they'll "have a concept of a plan" to fix it.... in two weeks.... forever.

How accountable these people become depends on how willing the citizens are to fix the problem.

If a national shutdown causes the houses to act on the amendment provisions that exist, impeach several members of the administration and force both judiciary and policing to do their job, pulling people like Musk down gets a lot closer.

It’s always been in the hands of the people, it’s how willing they are to unite around something and go through with it that’s the issue. The fact Republicans are able to get their people in by simply voting as a bloc when necessary tells Americans this.

Would be amazing to do a class action against him and cite the entire population of the USA as the prosecutor.

If you want a picture of the future, many people are imagining concepts of big beautiful cankles in shoe lifts stamping on a non-orange (human) face in two weeks (forever)
