I'm terribly sorry U.S. this very much reads like a horror story, but it's also depressingly utterly believable.

All your government belongs to Musk now.

Musk plans to enshitify and degrade the entire US government the same way he enshitified Twitter.

[Reuters also reported Friday that Musk aides have “locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees]

You just know that Musk is going to keep a copy of that data forever, regardless of whether he is working for Traitorapist Trump or not.
