Elon Musk didn't install anything. He just gave the order.
I know for a fact he doesn't understand anything about server technology.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

As an unelected, unappointed worker he shouldn't have any power outside of DOGE (which kind of doesn't even exist).
OPM also houses all the clearance applications and associated investigation paperwork. Great..
Remember the OPM data breach in 2015? This is that, but for all OPM data, instead of some of it or most of it. For those unfamiliar with an SF86 (or eQIP); it’s your entire employment, educational, and residential history. All foreign nationals you maintain contact with, family history, financial history, travel history, anything that may be relevant in granting a security clearance.

This is starting to exceed even my pessimistic doomsday expectations. And we aren't even a month in yet.
"Dear China, spreads open butthole, please come in. Love, MAGA." - Trump email sent to Xi
Time to deport this twat
Soooooo… that’s a direct threat to national security. And as I understand, trump is quoted as saying that his dog Elon doesn’t do anything without consent, so….
Impeachment and prison?
Elon will use social security numbers to hire more Indians in the branches of government.
I do have a question though, are employees of the United States Intelligence Community being affected by this?
Most definitely. The article mentioned USAJobs, which everyone goes through, including the CIA and the other alphabet agencies.
I don't know if the intelligence community does any sort of obfuscation for counterintelligence purposes (so that your job title isn't [Spy Grade 4 - Stationed in Greenland] outward facing to OPM) but they'll definitely have access to names and vitals for everyone in that system.

This is the HR division of the US government. EVERYBODY is affected by this.
if you work for your state, county, city, town, or any place considered "public," then this is going to happen to you too
What is being done to stop him?
Governmentally? Not a lot. All the people who would be responsible for doing anything work for the people doing it. All the people who are supposed to have oversight either agree with it, or we're just put into the minority by voters.
The only real options available are for someone to sue in a federal court and hope they get a judge who isn't a trump appointee.
Outside the government? Legally, this is what the election decided the nation wanted, and there isn't much that can be done.
Anything outside the scope of legal action isn't going to be discussed online openly. You see small snippets of data being backed up to archive services, so you know that there are people doing things, but if you're doing something outside the scope of what the administration wants, you keep quiet.
