The agreement allows two individuals associated with Musk but employed by the Treasury Department – called special government employees – to have “read only” access to the sensitive data.
Still not great
Tbh the reading was the part I was worried about
The fact that they were given write access at all is absolutely bonkers. I guess no one really knows what to do once you have people in the building…
“A suspicious foreigner was demanding access to secure systems. He threatened me, so I shot.”
That’s the proper way to react to Elon Musk demanding access to your facility.
What is this data, and what are they even doing with it?
And why is everyone panicking about it?
a colleague told me it gives musk and friends the ability to see the big picture on who is getting what money from the government. For example politico was being funded to the tune of millions of dollars throughout the Biden administration under various different grants through various agencies.
Not sure how accurate that is but it is plausible
and then what, they cut off the money? I don’t care if politico isn’t funded by the government anymore
ideally yes they cut the funding
because these people will listen to the rule of law
