Another DOGE member created a tool that generates ballot images to be used by counting machines to satisfy any statistical outcome requirements: https://bsky.app/profile/denisedwheeler.bsky.social/post/3lh...

He worked in contact with Musk and his sponsorship to create this tool

Interesting cybercrime research credentials

Yes there's not evidence available that this research was used for crime, just that the project is capable of what's described and that it was done under Musk's sponsorship and that he was hired after building this in contact with Musk

Linked previously here (currently flagged and dead): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42979187 Good thorough article on another wild development in this story. Deserves to be seen and read.

Have emailed dang to see if he'll unflag it. Agreed, previously I was amenable to the "they're young and smart" (but I'd counter with "not wise") take, but no, some of these people are just actually evil.

Say what you will about the cuts, you can't have people with zero clearance being given access to all of this data.

The president has absolute authority on who has access to classified data (with the exception of some nuclear secrets)

They probably meant “should,” not can’t.

Why would you need “clearance”? Only positions like with military sensitive things have clearance requirements.

at the same time, far, far too much stuff is classified not to protect national interest, but to protect the spooks and deep military industrial state neocons from scrutiny.

That's presidential fiat, not clearance.

And now musk is calling for the impeachment of Judge Paul Engelmayer who blocked his department from accessing government payment/financial systems.

This should be mandatory reading for everyone who argues this is just fine: https://www.amazon.com/They-Thought-Were-Free-Germans/dp/022...
