Elon Musk installs illegal server to seize all federal workers’ data
Elon Musk’s DOGE henchmen are helping him make his most terrifying power grab yet.
Summary
Elon Musk allegedly installed an unauthorized server at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), gaining access to sensitive federal employee data, including Social Security numbers, home addresses, and medical histories.
Young, inexperienced staffers are reportedly using this access to target positions for removal, particularly DEI offices.
Security concerns have been raised, with fears of hacking and HIPAA violations.
Senior officials have been locked out of key systems, limiting oversight of DOGE’s actions, which could significantly impact the federal workforce.
It's been wild reading news stories coming out the US over the last couple of weeks.
Not the stories themselves of course, but the air of shock and alarm in both the stories and in the comment sections - and its not just Lemmy, its everywhere there's a comment section - when you knew what he was going to do, he told you what he was going to do - why are you now in any way surprised or disturbed?
The main question I have is that I've been hearing from Americans for decades now how gun ownership means you have a 2nd amendment based militia ready to go to protect the constitution and yet in the face of what is completely obviously the initial stages of a coup, I see no signs of that militia. Where are you?
This is starting to exceed even my pessimistic doomsday expectations. And we aren't even a month in yet.
Time to deport this twat
Musk’s crew at DOGE—Trump’s weird fake agency—built a secret server to swipe every federal worker’s private deets. Skipped the law? Obviously. No privacy checks, no rules—just a free pass to dig through Social Security numbers, health records, and your cousin’s lame USAJOBS résumé.
The “talent” running this circus? Some college kid and a teen who probably still texts “XD” unironically. Peak competence. They’re blasting spam emails like it’s 2003, while China’s hackers lick their chops.
Congress is suddenly shocked? Please. They let this dumpster fire burn until the lawsuits rolled in. Musk calls it “streamlining.” I call it digital kleptocracy with a side of Space Karen vibes.
If this is “innovation,” humanity’s screwed. Imagine a Bond villain—but instead of lasers, he’s got Excel sheets and your mom’s dental records.
Stay frosty. The future’s here, and it’s run by rich twits playing Sims: Government Edition.
if you work for your state, county, city, town, or any place considered "public," then this is going to happen to you too
Remember that we're not allowed to call for violence, even when all civil options have failed. There's going to come a time when empty comments come to carry a meaning of their own.

Seize what?
Can the workers just seize means of production already? 🙄
Backdoor to Russia no doubt
It's a real shame that the headline isn't "Foreign hacker and his enabler in the White House arrested and imprisoned in solitary until they can be sent to Gitmo for life"
Sounds like a lie
