Summary

Elon Musk allegedly installed an unauthorized server at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), gaining access to sensitive federal employee data, including Social Security numbers, home addresses, and medical histories.

Young, inexperienced staffers are reportedly using this access to target positions for removal, particularly DEI offices.

Security concerns have been raised, with fears of hacking and HIPAA violations.

Senior officials have been locked out of key systems, limiting oversight of DOGE’s actions, which could significantly impact the federal workforce.

      While I appreciate that it dawned on you… Why did it take this long? They told us exactly what they were going to do.

      Like [insert dystopian story here], but stupider. That seems to be the theme.

        I’m all for fighting tyranny and oppressive governments wanting to take ma guns. However, I vote R and it’s not my rights that are being trampled. It’s my own team that is seeking the end of democracy. So, I will gladly bend over and take it without lube for my boy, Trumpy and Musky.

          At this point, I’m starting to just hope that I live long enough to get to the end of the “First They Came for” sermon and see all of the shocked Pikachu faces as all of these braindead fascist fucks are up against the wall. “But I didn’t think they were talking about me!”
