Trump Gives Elon Musk Access to All Unclassified Data in USG

Tuesday, January 28, 2025

The fine print of a sweeping executive order seemingly grants Elon Musk -- the wealthiest and arguably most powerful unelected figure in the world -- and his associates at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to all unclassified data held by US government agencies. The DOGE.gov website was taken down at one point: futurism.com

Volunteers recently projected this on Musk's Tesla factory in Germany where rendering a Nazi salute is illegal.

This move allows the Trumpf administration and his goons to data mine the American people, and in essence, conduct warrantless internal surveillance.

Time to reflect again upon what a very bad president Donald is.

Or the file of naked pictures your wife sent to her boyfriend.

You're too stupid, too empty, to have any opinion except Hail Trump!

The last eight days, the first week of the Donald regnum, have been the worst start to a presidency since Lincoln was sworn into a Civil War.

The man is sadistic. He revels in seeing people and things hurt because that magnifies his own ego.

There's not other reason for such behavior, other than it pleases people like FORT and distracts them from picking at their ass for a while.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the buildup of rhetoric around pedos and child trafficking and such has always made me think that's how they're going to ruin people.

Post something they don't like online? They'll conveniently find kiddy porn on your computer.

Refuse to bend the knee in a business dealing? They'll conveniently find kiddy porn on your computer.

Have particular assets or holdings they want to seize? They'll conveniently find kiddy porn on your computer.

Politician they want to run out of office? They'll conveniently find kiddy porn on your computer.

No need to kill anyone anymore. That's messy. Just "find" a few images on a hard drive and the deed is done much cleaner.

I fear that soon, all will be calm, as our media is forced to be tame, as the Russian media was tamed, with severe jail sentences for those who would actually utilize our freedoms, like the freedom of speech and the freedom to assemble and petition our government for a redress of our grievances. Propaganda 24/7, like in Russia, or China, or I suppose, in Florida.
I miss the print media, I really do.

Unclassified people, which means if you are interest in obtaining information in a govt unclassified document you can forward a FOIA request and obtain.

Seems that some libs/progs here are unable to comprehend what unclassified means.

AND, FYI the reason we voted for Trump because the status quo in our govt is an ongoing detriment to the nation, and we voted for a change agent, i.e. a disruptor to that status quo.

FOIA can take a looooooong time to fulfill, particularly without redactions and quite expensive too.

His level of access appears to be governmental.

Musk is not an elected official - thus no office inside of the White House.

Is this the data he will use an AI to scrape, or just the beginning of his access?

Why should anyone believe that Trump doesn't share national secrets with Musk?

Musk owns Trump and through him, America.

What you think you voted for and what you got are two very very different things.

Yup, they think they voted for change for other people. Their expectations are they will suffer little to no change.

Then again, they're gullible enough to believe Trump soooooo...
