Musk’s Takeover Of The Government’s Computer Systems Needs To Be Understood As A Cyberattack, Or Worse

No. He's a Nazi. It's a fascist takeover. Wish these so called journalists would grow a pair.

So...to my untrained ears this sounds kind of dumb.

cybersecurity has always been about protecting computer systems more generally from any sort of misuse, no matter how the adversary might access them.

And misuse is defined the system's owner, who in this case has given explicit permission to Musk. The whole article is predicated on the idea that Elon Musk...lied or put on a disguise or something. By any currently known measure, he's allowed to be doing everything he's doing because that's what the current, duly-elected administration told him to do.

There was an image on the front page today of the everything-is-fine dog sitting among the flames saying "they can't do this it's illegal." That seems apt for this article. America elected a fascist, and that fascist is openly tearing down all the informal rules and norms that we've always treated like laws.

Pretending like there's a legal issue with a lot of what's been happening is a distraction and waste of time that Democrats appear to be perfectly comfortable using as air cover to not exercise what little power they might have. I feel confident it will lead nowhere, and unless the people with power and influence who pretend to care figure out how to actually accomplish anything, we will just keep sinking.
