This guy couldn't even secure a car never mind an entire fucking country.

That's the point though. Weaken the US. Privatize everything. Give our tax dollars to the billionaires.

It is the final count down!

This is terrific news, the NSA's endless data supply has now been accessed and probably left open unsecured.

But remember, people said "I have nothing to hide".

As a fan of Edward Snowden whistleblowing, I guess I'm also oddly a fan of Elon Musk's accidental whistleblowing.

The amount of super odd shit i have saved from IRC days.... A random picture of Jack Valenti telling one of my ircops that he's gonna stretch his anus.

I'm curious of how long it is going to be before the courts just rule a blanket "PA's can not access any federal data without congressional approval as they are not the president"

It seems super inefficient to have to file a separate suit for /every/ instance of info they give.

Excellent, with Musk in charge, the federal government will now be more secure against anti-government threats... like... Musk?

It's so good they are finally shacking things up, just like everyone wanted.

shacking things up

Uh, what happens when our tax info shacks up with cybersecurity info? I don't want to see those babies, they must be monstrous.
