very dangerous, unprecedentedly radical
Nathan Tankus
Since I published my article at 6 am yesterday morning, a number of current and former Bureau of the Fiscal Service officials have reached out and unfortunately confirmed the accuracy of my reporting. Both in my understanding of the technical situation and the extreme dangers that the access which had been reported up to that point. All thought read only access was extraordinarily dangerous to the country. Unfortunately, my sources also tell me that the subsequent anonymous sources mainstream journalists reported who worked to downplay the situation are not accurate.Wired beat me to the punch of reporting that a top DOGE employee, 25 year old former SpaceX employee Marko Elez, has not only read but write access to BFS servers. What can I say, I had to sleep and my sources messaged me after I was asleep. Their article is en led “A 25-Year-Old With Elon Musk Ties Has Direct Access to the Federal Payment System”, my sources have also independently (and before publication of the Wire article at 1 AM today) confirmed their reporting that:
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. [...]
Typically, those admin privileges could give someone the power to log into servers through secure s access, navigate the entire file system, change user permissions, and delete or modify critical files. That could allow someone to bypass the security measures of, and potentially cause irreversible changes to, the very systems they have access to. [...]
"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 knows.All of this is absolutely true according to my sources.Additionally, I can exclusively report that while there was initial hesitation from “IT Leadership” to give them access, they relented. However, they still believed this was extremely risky with one member of leadership saying “I’ve never done anything like this before”, according to a source familiar with the situation. A current IT employee of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service told me “This level of unchecked access is critically dangerous to the economy and the government”. When I replied “this is terrifying” to being informed that they have “write access” this source replied “Yeah it's not good. Read privileges on its own still would have left room for catastrophe, but read and write is apocalyptic.”
"
https://www.crisesnotes.comOne source explicitly said that they were only reporting to me because there was no one left in the Federal Government to report security breaches to:
I do not wish to harm my agency in any way. I loved working here. We did some of the most important work in the country and barely anyone knew who we were. In normal times, I would report insider threats to the appropriate security channels inside the government- but there is no one left for me to report it to.
very dangerous, unprecedentedly radical
"we'll just dissolve the US government and reboot it"
“Regulations, basically, should be default gone,” Musk said. “Not default there, default gone. And if it turns out that we missed the mark on a regulation, we can always add it back in.”
Chicken
idiots...
Gonna have to stand down again, eh, dad?
Afternoon, fart-face.
I think Musk is a mole, Dale. I don't know, call it a conspiracy, whatever. I think he's just there to get his ROI. I guess time will tell.
My conspiracy theory is Musk is going to use his entre into the federal government revenue and payment systems to goose his financial plans for Twitter.
My conspiracy theory is DOGE is dismantling the CIA slush fund and USAID and is preserving evidence to send people to prison.
How much did Ivanka profit off the USAID slush fund during Trump's first presidency since Trump budgeted $100,000,000 for her through USAID in one year?My conspiracy theory is DOGE is dismantling the CIA slush fund and USAID and is preserving evidence to send people to prison.
Give me a ballpark figure.
Ace of Spades blog
Actually, that's Biden's GAO in 2023.
Filtered through your blog.
What's your conspiracy theory here?
You never actually say it.
And how much did Ivanka profit from President Trump's USAID slush fund?
Where's Ace of Spades graphic for that?
I don't know that she personally profited anything.
What do you have against women?
Ivanka Trump plans global women’s economic development push
She didn't have a paid position. In fact, it probably cost her personally to conduct the activities of promoting and advocating for the program, globally.
Do you have evidence she received USAID funds in her pocket? I can't find anyone even alleging that, anywhere on the internet -- except for you.
Seriously, why do you hate women?
It's your conspiracy theory.
Your clear implication is that USAID was a CIA slush fund. That has to include Trump's USAID.
If it's not, you need to make that clear.
Was Trump's USAID a CIA slush fund?
Yes or no.
A graphic pulled from the GAO. You suggesting they mocked that up and attributed it to the General Accounting Office? Why?
I don't have one. It just demonstrates NIH and USAID money were being funneled to the Chinese and, particularly, the Wuhan Ins ute of Virology.
I'm saying zero.
Where's your proof she did. Making up defamatory allegation, our of whole cloth, is actionable. Ask the ladies of The View and George Stephanopoulos.
Which means what?
I'm saying zero.

Not a fan but, he makes a valid point...hilariously.
Lol still thinking Covid is a conspiracyMy conspiracy theory is DOGE is dismantling the CIA slush fund and USAID and is preserving evidence to send people to prison.
No wonder Never Trumper pigs like Bill Kristol are squealing
I can't wait to see how you s would react if Tesla suddenly gets a military contract to make a bunch of those minivans for them.
Who said it was a conspiracy?
USAID and NIH were funding gain of function research at WIV. And, now we know, thanks to Biden's CIA, that the pandemic likely started with a lab leak at WIV.
Not a conspiracy but, at the very least, something Anthony Fauci, Samantha Power, and that Duszak guy should answer for.
A teaser of what?
