From theft of classified documents to insider trading to looting of sensitive labor data... lol...that's how you make America Great Again. 'This is very bad': Whistleblower reveals 'brazen' DOGE team looting sensitive labor data A whistleblower has revealed that engineers with the Department of Government Efficiency had smuggled out highly sensitive data they had accessed from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The DOGE employees arrived at the agency's headquarters in early March and immediately reviewed its data to ostensibly to maximize efficiency and identify costs to cut, but whistleblower Dan Berulis told Congress that technical staff members believed their actions within those sensitive systems looked like what criminal or state-sponsored hackers might do, reported NPR. “The amount of data that was taken is the equivalent to a section of the New York Public Library, and the amount of people it could impact is in the hundreds of millions,” Berulis said. “Our information systems appear to have been assaulted and someone with the capacity and mandate to investigate needs to do so.” The DOGE team may have been granted access to sensitive information on unions, ongoing legal cases and corporate secrets – all of which labor law experts say should never leave the agency – and the employees working under Elon Musk asked that their activities not be logged on the system and apparently tried to cover their tracks. "I can't attest to what their end goal was or what they're doing with the data," Berulis told NPR. "But I can tell you that the bits of the puzzle that I can quantify are scary. ... This is a very bad picture we're looking at."
Oh, maybe not if you order that stuff from Tesla or even after market brand names. Yep, unfortunately a lot of people try to fake it till they make it and use credit stupidly. A lot of people were brought up using credit and if they can afford the weekly or monthly payments, they never think of the total cost vs cash.
If I can't get laid using DM's nobody can. For those who have not been following the news, Musk has been direct messaging random women on X/Twitter stating he wants to impregnate them. X Is Ditching DMs Hours After News of Musk Messaging Women About Impregnating Them Breaks https://www.latintimes.com/x-ditchi...g-women-about-impregnating-them-breaks-580936 The morning after reports surfaced that Elon Musk sent direct messages offering to impregnate women on his social media platform, a software engineer at the company revealed that X's direct messaging feature will be discontinued. Zach Warunek, a young software engineer at X, responded to a user who asked him to look into a bug they had noticed in their messages. Warunek's answer came as a shock. "The page will be deleted soon. So, no," he said. "So no more message requests?" the user asked, believing just the separate folder for messages from unknown accounts would be removed. "No...like the whole entire DM's will be gone soon," Warunek stated. Another user chimed in, suggesting the change was related to a Wall Street Journal piece published Tuesday night about Elon Musk. "Bit of an overreaction to delete dms cause Elon got denied by a Asian chick don't ya think?" the reply accused. The "chick" referred to by the user is cryptocurrency influencer Tiffany Fong, who Musk followed on X in September 2024. In November, Musk reportedly sent her a direct message asking if she'd like to have his child, according to WSJ. She declined, citing her hope to eventually have a more traditional family, but she discussed the proposition with select people. The lack of discretion reportedly irritated Musk and he unfollowed her. The revelation was one of many tidbits within a larger report, centered on Musk's treatment of the mothers of his (at least) 14 children, particularly Ashley St. Claire—the conservative influencer who called Musk out publicly after she had his baby. The article detailed the philosophy, financial arrangements and expectations behind Musk's mission to personally repopulate the globe with a "legion" of high IQ individuals. While the claim that Fong or the inflammatory report motivated the removal of direct messages is only circumstantial speculation, Musk continues to demonstrate a unique aptitude for attracting controversy. Musk has not responded to the comment, or to the WSJ report, other than a brief, disparaging tweet implying that the WSJ is worse than the gossip site TMZ.
Peckerhead can't keep it in his pants. ‘Harem’ Secrets: Elon Musk May Have More Than 100 Children, Atlantic Journalist Says https://dailyboulder.com/harem-secr...e-than-100-children-atlantic-journalist-says/
DOGE has fallen from the news Once Elon said he was leaving, the media dropped the DOGE story line It shows they didn't care about the cuts , they only cared about personally attacking Trump through Elon Now that DOGE is not being covered they can do the nasty cuts that are needed
DOGE failed because it was built on MAGA lies. Musk bought into the alt-right idiocy hook, line and sinker. Maybe Kennedy is not the one with a brain worm. Musk leaves Washington with his credibility and brand in self-inflicted shambles Elon Musk's fortune may recover. Tesla might start selling cars again. But he's never going to live down DOGE. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2025/05/04/musk-trump-tesla-doge-cuts/83391298007/
Actually I think through all of this he has been somewhat human. When every day people are sucking up to him telling him how brilliant he is for being the richest guy in the world and doing things nobody else can, that was bound to eventually fester in his head in all the bad ways. Anecdotally, we saw more (if trivial) signs of this with him cheating in gaming on full display live and easily discernible to the very gamers he wanted to impress. One might call him yet another product of a flawed system.
So sad for Elon... nobody likes him anymore. A letter to sad Elon Musk, from America: 'Hey pal, sorry everybody was mean.' Hey, we get it. It’s not nice when other people try to take the government you tried to ruin and find a different way to ruin it. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opin...oge-beautiful-bill-leaving-trump/83907213007/ A heartfelt letter to Tesla CEO and chief-DOGE-chainsaw-wielder Elon Musk, from America. Dear Elon: Hey, buddy. We hear you’re going through a bit of a rough patch lately. Your electric-car brand and overall reputation are in the toilet, people are saying not-nice things about you, and the whole “King of the Department of Government Efficiency” thing didn’t work out the way you wanted. We hear you basically gave up, took your exploding rocket and went home after deciding to leave Trump's administration. (Oh, we forgot to mention that your rockets keep exploding. When it rains, it pours, right?) Listen, we get it. There are a lot of emotions involved when a person realizes that bad behavior can have consequences. Just imagine how your best bud, Donald Trump, is going to feel if that should ever happen to him? We’re kidding. That’s never going to happen. But it is happening for you, pal, and we're sorry nobody likes you. But we ‒ the good people of America ‒ want to help you learn from this experience. The other day, you told The Washington Post that just because you barnstormed into the federal government as head of DOGE and started firing random people and upending years of foreign diplomacy and scientific research while proudly waving around a chainsaw, you were criticized for doing those very dumb things. “DOGE is just becoming the whipping boy for everything,” you said. “So, like, something bad would happen anywhere, and we would get blamed for it even if we had nothing to do with it.” But see, here’s the thing, big fella. You were downright gleeful about putting people out of work. You called the U.S. Agency for International Development “a criminal organization.” And while you were doing all this, you changed your social media user name to "Harry Bōlz” and had this at the top of your profile page: “Circumcisions at a discount, now 50% off!” Now, can you see how that kind of attitude and behavior might upset some people? Can you see how it might eat away at your credibility? We think you can, buddy. We think you’re big enough and smart enough to connect these two dots. Now you also got a little mad the other day at the Republicans who welcomed you into their government playpen. They’re trying to pass a massive bill to make sure rich people like you don’t see a tax increase, but you saw it as undercutting all your hard work trying to fire thousands of people with little explanation. “I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly,” you told CBS News Sunday Morning, adding that it “increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing.” Hey, we get it. It’s not nice when other people try to take the government you tried to ruin and find a different way to ruin it, even if that way screws over the same poor people you were trying to screw over. We want to validate your feelings, while also helping you understand that you are no less harmful than all those congressional Republicans. In fact, you’re all equally terrible, and your ideas collectively benefit America’s upper crust while treating the rest of the country like doormats. There’s a human emotion called “shame,” and it’s something you might want to Google when you’re not busy working on an ugly electric truck that won’t sell or a rocket that will almost inevitably explode. Consider that part of your homework! There’s one other thing you said to The Post we want to discuss. It has to do with how your political work and public comments have turned your reputation more toxic than the bacteria that cause botulism. “People were burning Teslas,” you said. “Why would you do that? That’s really uncool.” You’re right, bud. Burning Teslas is very uncool and never acceptable. Never. Ever. But beyond unacceptable acts of vandalism, a lot of people are justifiably mad at you, and you seem surprised by that. So we want to ask you this: What are some reasons people might be angry? Could it be because you bought Twitter and turned it into a platform for racists, sexists and Nazis? Could it be that you’ve embraced a far-right German political party and told Germans to “move beyond” the guilt of the past? Could it be that weird salute you did at a Trump rally? Could it be the way you casually throw around the “R-word” online? Could it be the casual and mocking way you dispatched thousands of federal workers, prancing like a peacock through government agencies and acting like you knew more than anyone else in the room? Could it be that you’re mean? That your wildly anti-transgender comments are dehumanizing and disgust many people? Could it be that you told advertisers who refuse to buy ads on X to “go f‑‑‑ yourself”? Maybe some of those things explain why Tesla sales in Europe dropped 49% in April compared with the same month a year ago. Maybe some of those things explain why the Cybertruck is viewed as the symbol of a lonely, unfunny man dealing with serious life issues. Unfortunately, none of those things explain why your rockets keep exploding. That’s pretty much on you, bud. But the point here is that we hear you. We hear that you’re sad. We hear that you're confused about the way you’re being treated. And we want you to know you can learn from all of this. You can become a better person. Or you can keep being a self-absorbed dingus who nobody likes. It’s really up to you, pal. Your country, unfortunately, — America
