How John Roberts Teed Up Elon Musk’s War on the Court
https://newrepublic.com/article/191528/elon-musk-judicial-crisis-roberts

"Musk’s strategy w/ #DOGE appears to be to create enough on-the-ground damage... that #Congress, the #courts... can’t readily reverse things. A certain amount of lawlessness is baked into this approach...

#Musk appears hostile to the idea that he can be constrained by a judge at all. He does not seem to know or care how the #Constitution works... After all, he grew up in apartheid-era #SouthAfrica"

#ElonMusk #News
Text from article:
Musk’s strategy with DOGE appears to be to create enough on-the-ground damage—with dismantled agencies, fired employees, harvested data, frozen payments, and so on—that Congress, the courts, and a future Democratic administration can’t readily reverse things. A certain amount of lawlessness is baked into this approach. You can’t “move fast and break things,” as Silicon Valley’s ruling class likes to put it, if you have to comply with pesky bureaucratic and statutory requirements.

But it also seems to run deeper than that. Musk appears hostile to the idea that he can be constrained by a judge at all. He does not seem to know or care how the Constitution works. Some unfamiliarity is understandable: After all, he grew up in apartheid-era South Africa and did not receive an American civics education. His reflexive accusation that the judges are engaged in corruption merely for ruling against him and the administration is straight out of an authoritarian playbook.

Trump has free rein over Dutch government data

“The Netherlands relies heavily on American IT service providers such as Microsoft, Google and Amazon for the storage of government data. […] With DOGE's uncontrolled access to government systems, the risk of Dutch data being misused is now greater than ever.”

Lots of damage.

"It’s been three weeks since Elon #Musk’s agents took over the government’s IT and HR departments. Since then, the movements of his so-called Department of Government Efficiency have had the cartography of a horror movie, #DOGE picking off agencies one by one based on slasher logic, feeding an unslakeable thirst for cost-cutting and #data.

Democracy doesn’t die in darkness after all; it dies in #JIRA tickets filed by #Palantir alums."

Sigh. Tough post. #Fedihired

So I found that #DOGE is currently in the org I work at. Ive confirmed from 2 colleagues. They're going after contractors first, since we have mostly no protections.

I've been looking since Nov 6, but now things are getting down to the wire.

I'm a senior cloud systems engineer. Current is administering/developing #ArcGIS #GIS . Previously was systems engineer with greenfielding and putting together multiple ATO's. Before that, was systems engineer at a NOC.

"Parts of the US bureaucracy are no doubt bloated and inefficient, and need modernisation. Most American voters support this idea. Reforming creaking bureaucracies often requires radical efforts. Yet it also needs detailed planning, transparency and oversight. All these are missing from what the Trump administration is now doing.

The Department of Government Efficiency that Musk heads is not a government agency established by Congress but an opaque body created by executive order. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has argued it has no authority to make spending decisions or shut down programmes — let alone entire agencies.

In their quest to find savings and root out “woke” policies, Musk’s team of 20-something coders have nonetheless managed to infiltrate agencies including the US Treasury and the state and health departments; the $40bn USAID agency has in effect closed down. Tens of thousands of civil servants have been fired or suspended. Doge operatives have accessed troves of data, from intelligence records to employees’ bank details and health records, raising risks for privacy and national security. Handing such power to a corporate boss with an interest in shaping policies and regulation creates clear conflicts."

"USAID’s programs were funded by Congress, and there were rules to follow before halting the payments, they said. Instead of reassuring them, the agency’s then-chief of staff, Matt Hopson, told staff that the White House did not plan on restarting most of the aid projects, according to two officials familiar with his comments.

Then Hopson added a stark coda: Trump could not have a higher tolerance for legal risk, the officials recalled. They understood the message to mean that the administration was willing to bend or even break laws to get what it wanted, and then take the fight to court. (Hopson, who resigned shortly after, did not respond to numerous phone calls and written messages requesting comment, and he turned away a reporter who came to his door.)

No president in history has unilaterally shuttered an agency formally enshrined in law — let alone deputized his wealthiest donor, Elon Musk, to carry out that task in his name with little oversight or accountability."
