Musk Visits CIA HQ, Officials Hold Their Noses

Musk visited CIA HQ for talks on government efficiency. This is the first time Musk has visited the CIA since the establishment of DOGE. Unlike other government departments, DOGE isn't going to get unlimited access to CIA databases or internal systems because most of it is top secret. CIA has an internal DOGE team that was formed after Trump's executive order which includes CIA career officials. CIA officials didn't give Musk an intelligence briefing, but discussed with him "how the CIA is unique" in comparison to other government agencies. Musk visited NSA HQ a few weeks ago, where I'm sure they held their noses too.

#1: And who knows many spills have occurred behind the scenes? The public gets to see the national security mishaps like Signalgate when a reporter stumbles on to it or digs something up. After the Trumpf junta is gone in four years, the intelligence services of NATO, ROK, Taiwan, Canada, Japan, and the Commonwealth will help piece together the damage done for the incoming Democratic POTUS in 2028.

Elon should have just brought a large chain for the door - told everyone to get out, and then shut the whole CIA -------- down like he did USAID. The CIA is a giant waste of money and does nothing but create more war in the world.
