You shouldn't be!
Imagine if former President Biden had given George Soros the power to allow a group of young, unvetted techies to do what Musk is doing:
A 25-Year-Old With Elon Musk Ties Has Direct Access to the Federal Payment System
"The Bureau of the Fiscal Service is a sleepy part of the Treasury Department. It’s also where, sources say, a 25-year-old engineer tied to Elon Musk has admin privileges over the code that controls Social Security payments, tax returns, and more.
A 25-year-old engineer named Marko Elez, who previously worked for two Elon Musk companies, has direct access to Treasury Department systems responsible for nearly all payments made by the US government, three sources tell WIRED.
Two of those sources say that Elez’s privileges include the ability not just to read but to write code on two of the most sensitive systems in the US government: The Payment Automation Manager (PAM) and Secure Payment System (SPS) at the Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS). Housed on a top-secret mainframe, these systems control, on a granular level, government payments that in their totality amount to more than a fifth of the US economy."

“You could do anything with these privileges,” says one source with knowledge of the system, who adds that they cannot conceive of a reason that anyone would need them for purposes of simply hunting down fraudulent payments or analyzing disbursement flow.
"Technically I don't see why this couldn't happen," a federal IT worker tells WIRED in a phone call late on Monday night, referring to the possibility of a DOGE employee being granted elevated access to a government server. "If you would have asked me a week ago, I'd have told you that this kind of thing would never in a million years happen. But now, who the f**k knows."
NOTE:
The White House confirmed that Elon Musk has been hired as a special government employee — a technical status for a staffer who is expected to serve on a temporary basis.
They represented the worst combination of colonial hubris, racist arrogance and criminal incompetence.” We’re now getting a taste of that experience." --Michelle Goldberg, NYTimes

I do have to wonder what is going on in the Alphabet soup crew. I mean, enemies domestic defined, or am I missing something? And for the record, I'm gobsmacked by how normal traditional media is painting this. I mean, they had nonstop kittens over emails on a private server.
Bear with me please as I walk through what I see. And we're walking...
Late seventies/early eighties there was a magazine called Omni. Didn't last long. I tried to hold onto as many copies as I could but the paper was just so heavy and well, I've been through a lot so possessions were just like an extra leg - you drop it so those who chase you stop to look at the stuff instead of you.
Anyway, one of the articles covered a series of studies about humanity, how we are living and specifically, if our way of life was sustainable. The doom and gloom boys were in full throttle about food riots and shortages of goods and land going sterile, you know, like we have now. They were being responsible by alerting those in power so they could make corrections and explore alternative food options to ensure no one starved. Doom and gloom may have been accurate but the slur was not deserved.
To be honest I feel a bit like Gandalf telling everyone panicking in the USA here/now that the warning signs have been around for decades. Those who had the knowledge and power to make things better did nothing except line their pockets at the expense of the public. It is going to get rough. Beginnings and endings are never smooth no matter how much one prepares.
Look, the USA is at a crossroads. One way is a representation of Escape from L.A.; the other is Star Trek, in all it's flavors and universes. I prefer Star Trek as a model for reality if votes are being tallied.
Heard out and about: And the trick is to keep going when traversing Hell.
Honestly Grey, I remember marching in anti war protests in "69" and "70". I am now ready to go to war to fight fascism at home.
Middle years things were good for me and the fam. So, l allowed myself to be hoodwinked by Ronnie the Movie Star prez into believing the rising tide raises all boats bullshit. What an ignorant and delusional putz I was then.
But then along came the not so bright GWB and TSA and "homeland security". I felt a stirring then that fascism was beginning to rear its dehumanizing head. And I begin to recognize the growing dangers if We the People didn't start to wake up. Become WOKE so to speak.
This diarrhea flood of stink and ill is NOT going to stop unless We the People rise up and stop it. By guerilla fighting in the streets all Across Amerika if neccessary.
As for the milque toast compliant media... well, they're basically useless frightened whittle sheeple afraid to call a monster out for exactly what it is..
Your premise doesn't work Shaw because Biden, nor Obama, Clinton or any other Dem president would ever do this. So it's unimaginable.
Up until Trump I'd have thought the idea of unelected, unappointed, unvetted, inexperienced children moving about, without security clearances, within previously secure US systems, databases and payment centers would have been beyond the pale.
Sadly though, this crazy system is exactly what the MAGA world wanted and expected from Trump. Equally crazy though is it is not a governing philosophy they have and support.
They only want a system like this if the person at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave has an R after his or her name.
Believe it... once Trump is gone, the GOP will return to laws, norms and love of systems right away. So they can stifle any aganda different from theirs.
I seriously doubt it. The naivette is beyond the pale.
Has anyone realized that any of those unvetted 20-something and teenage techies with no security clearance and who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China?
Has anyone in the Trump administration thought of that?
Why is anyone surprised?
On Jan 6, 2021, Trump supporters, unhappy with a free, fair and per the Trump Administration, fraud free election in 2020, stormed the US Capitol to overturn the election.
Rather than peacefully protest, or better yet, reorganize to win the next election, MAGA partisans broke into the capitol, ransacked the building causing millions of dollars of damage and brutally beat over 120 US police officers who were defending the capitol and protecting the Vice President and members of Congress and the Senate.
It didn't work and our governmental institutions held.
So they regrouped and came with a different plan. This time they just peacefully walked in, took over and have said, we dare you to challenge us.
They did so because, like in 2020, they refuse to work within the Constitutional system to achieve their goals. Because if they followed the Constitution they would quickly learn that the majority of Americans do not support their plans.
Just as they did not approve on Jan 6.
Likely yes. They want to bring down America in pursuit of their own fascist Self Interests.
Response to Dave's iabove comment that when Trump is gone all wil be well.
It won't. The system will be so corrupted and controlled by fascists slime it won't just fall in line and return to democracy giving up power.
Power corrupts... Absolute power corrupts absolutely... They have the first a b d absolutely ARE working on the second.
The US was constructed over the course of about 250 years. In "Making America Great Again" the world's greatest democracy is being torn to pieces by by the hour. They boast and bellow while the Statue of Liberty weeps.
Our long time allies fear and loathe us - our worst national enemies chortle with glee. Who could even imagine such an outrageous scenario?
Your right Biden just gave anti American soros a medal of freedom award for all his contributions to the democrat candidates and his hard work to help elect incompetent DA's. Fraud free election in 2020 should be limited fraud election because no election is fraud free. Now we have LA devoting funds to shield illegals while defunding the fire department. Somehow that seems like a broken policy. Oh well the hollywood elite will raise money and honor first responders while gomez cries her eyes out because of those poor criminal illegals and being deported. Why doesn't she spend a few million to help them out.
Hitler, Mussolini, Orban, et all...
Those who support the Felon prez and his fascist agend know EXACTLY what they are doing. They're following Hitler's playbook.
I wonder if the Democrats decided to impeach tRUMP now if they would get any republicans to support them?
All it takes for evil to thrive is for good people to do nothing.
