  2. How are they allowed to have anything whatsoever to do with the government or the treasury? Some random buddies handpicked by Elon Musk with no security clearing, no oaths, no accountability, no elections of them?

  3. Are they talking about:

    >Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran? The employees that broke into the Treasury department with Musk? The employees that musk says it’s illegal to post the names of? That Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran?

    >Despite reporting that suggests that Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) task force has access to these Treasury systems on a “read-only” level, sources say Elez, who has visited a Kansas City office housing BFS systems, has many administrator-level privileges. Typically, those admin privileges could give someone the power to log in to servers through secure shell access, navigate the entire file system, change user permissions, and delete or modify critical files. That could allow someone to bypass the security measures of, and potentially cause irreversible changes to, the very systems they have access to.

    >WIRED reporting has shown that Elon Musk’s associates—including Nicole Hollander, who slept in Twitter’s offices as Musk acquired the company, and Thomas Shedd, a former Tesla engineer who now runs a GSA agency, along with a host of extremely young and inexperienced engineers—have infiltrated the GSA and have attempted to use White House security credentials to gain access to GSA tech, something experts have said is highly unusual and poses a huge security risk.

    Edit 2:

    Oh they are absolutely fuming now! Some dweebs sending me threats of jail time lol.

  4. Musk and his minions are the very definition of the abusive unelected bureaucrats republicans are always going on about.

  5. >Some federal workers who have been interviewed were reportedly asked what they are working on and which of their colleagues should be fired.

    What in the Hans Landa shit is this?

  6. Just an fyi, the US government is threatening legal action against people who speak out against this or release the names of these people. This is called lawfare. This is illegal. This is an impeachable offense.

  7. He hired kids for the same reason the Nazi employed Hitler Youth: because they lack emotional empathy

    Like all conservatives, little boys lack emotional empathy. Temper boys and girls God says empathy and compassion are the tools of satan

  8. I’d refuse to interact without their names due to security concerns.

  10. I really hope that the Democrats never let the Republicans call themselves the party of law and order ever again.

  11. I need a list of everyone that’s ever defied Trump!

    I’m sorry, who are you?

    That’s none of your business!

  12. “I’m sorry, but this information is protected. If you refuse to reveal your identity and share the proper credentials, I cannot speak further.”

  14. Why are individuals with out security clearance allowed anywhere near government computers?

  15. Why are they complying. They took trainings every few months on what to do. But are still complying. 

  17. What’s kinda funny yet troubling about this is anyone could now walk up to a federal agency and social engineer their way into the door and onto highly sensitive computer systems, by simply stating they’re from DOGE and reminding the agencies that the DOJ will take legal action if they do not comply.

    This is kind of why we have, you know, systems already in place for sharing information. What DOGE is doing is reckless and intentionally so.

  19. Wouldn’t they need to reveal their names to gain access to the building?

  20. I’m wondering why Musk has surrounded himself with young 20 year old boys… seems interesting.

  21. All my posts about these guys are getting removed and I’m getting ban warnings from Reddit

  22. If they can’t verify who they are, then the civil servants should ignore them. For all they know they could be talking to Russian spies.

  23. WHY ARE CIVIL SERVANTS COOPERATING WITH THESE GOONS??? Call the cops.

  24. This is unacceptable. I don’t know who the fuck these people think they are, but we’re not fucking doing this.

  29. Member like two weeks ago when elon doxxed a random federal employee? 

  31. They by law have to identify themselves and they have to prove they have the authority to do what they are doing. Every branch and department has to do that.

  32. The billionaire class has declared war on the American people and these kids are the next generation of robber Barron’s.

  33. Reminder: 19-25 years old = Adults. Consenting adults at that. “I was just following orders” is not a valid legal defense.

  34. > Musk’s aides described the meetings with civil servants as “one-way interviews,”

    Oh, you mean an interrogation.

  35. So what I am getting from this, is that under the Trump admin, people, without any identification, can just walk into the fucking treasury department, and hook up hard drives and servers, to the mainframe, and kick the actual government employees out?

    How do we even know none of them are just random foreign operatives that claim they are working for Musk… Unlike the ones he knows are working for him?

  36. Why would Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran not reveal their names?

    Those names can be found in tons of articles about these 19-24 year old completely inexperienced hires handpicked by Musk and Theil. Basically Nepo babies chosen because they will follow orders without question and clearly have zero care for the US constitution, law, or the American people.

    Gotta ask yourself why Musk wants only really young and inexperienced staff… Could it be that they don’t have the experience or maturity to question whether what they are being told to do is legal or moral? Or is it like soldiers, where the military takes advantage of the sense of invincibility that is a stage of cognitive development for boys 16-24? Meaning they won’t worry about things like ending up in prison the way a ridiculous number of Trump’s previous employees have.
