Oh god, this is like when that one type of executive insists that you give full database access and a firewall exception so that some SaaS report-builder tool will let them "generate insights" and "demonstrate value".

One type? Damn near all of them! +1 nonetheless

edit: We'll get to demonstrate more value cleaning up the mess this creates! SWE/SRE is controlled opposition, change my mind /s

Is that a crime? I imagine it's a crime if you have a security clearance. But as far as I'm aware these guys never promised not to give away classified information. Of course they can be pardoned, and they don't even need a pardon if the Justice Department decides not to prosecute. But just as a matter of idle curiosity, has any law actually be violated?

The President will just say he declassified the information in his head before the data was disclosed. Even if he didn’t, he may argue this is an "official act" and cannot be subject to prosecution.

Most of this is from FedScope:

But the part Musk was not suppose to unveil:

>> Musk can’t claim he wasn’t aware that the National Reconnaissance Office is one of the nation’s intelligence agencies. His company, SpaceX, has a $1.8 billion contract with NRO to build hundreds of spy satellites.

No waste and fraud so far, but making good progress in leaking of classified info. It’s just another unspeakable horror for people who decided to help USA and will be killed by adversaries as a result...

> No waste and fraud so far,

Really?

No, people who actually have a clue know that there are 18 orgs that makes US Intelligence, and one of those is the NRO.

The National Intelligence Program (NIP) budget is classified, with the only released data is the top line number. The official disclosure reads: "Any and all subsidiary information concerning the NIP budget, whether the information concerns particular intelligence agencies or particular intelligence programs, will not be disclosed. Beyond the disclosure of the NIP top-line figure, there will be no other disclosures of currently classified NIP budget information…"

See the Director of National Intelligence website (dni.gov), assuming it wasn't disabled in the current dumpster fires.

Yep. They claim all sorts of things, but there is no transparency or proof that any wastage or actual fraud was present.

It's all just ideological things that Project 2025/MAGA/Daddy Musk doesn't like. The CFPB is a perfect example. Musk wants to get into finance so he's gutting a department that only exists to protect consumers.
