    The only time America loses its mind is when there’s a national security threat. I don’t know what’s going on here, but all of these allowances seem totally out of the norm, so I am going to guess it’s something like that.

      This is a national security threat. The database accessed contains private information for a huge amount of people. SSNs, DOBs, addresses, names, and pay. That’s for federal employees, retirees, anyone on Social Security income.

      It pays government contracts (hey it’s not like Elon has any of those!), it can be turned off, it can be manipulated, the data is being stolen via unverified, unapproved external drives, and God knows what is being installed into this system. Also, the people who are in charge of it are locked out.

      Let’s not forget Elon is a foreign born immigrant who overstayed his visa (an illegal immigrant you say?), was denied the appropriate security levels after his background check, recently had been in contact with foreign governments and tried to manipulate elections, has been courting far-right parties like AfD, and on a national stage threw up a Heil.

      This is a goddamn joke.
