"The greatest threat we've ever faced": US Treasury division classifies DOGE staff as extreme danger
An intelligence team within the department recommended stripping DOGE staffers of their access to data.Salon.com
Krause has an unerring instinct for making people miserable while making money. He oversaw the merger of Citrix and VMWare, creating a ghastly company called The Cloud Software Group, which sold remote working tools. Despite this, of his first official acts was to order all of his employees to stop working remotely. But then, after forcing his workers to drag their butts into work, move back across the country, etc, he reversed himself because he figured out he could sell off all of the company's office space for a tidy profit.
Krause canceled employee benefits, like thank you days for managers who pulled a lot of unpaid overtime, or bonuses for workers who upgraded their credentials. He also ended the company's practice of handing out swag as small gifts to workers, and then stiffed the company that made the swag, wontpaying a $437,574.97 invoice for all the tchotchkes the company had ordered. That's not the only supplier Krause stiffed: FinLync, a fintech company with a three-year contract with Krause's company, also had to sue to get paid.
Krause's isn't a canny operator who roots out waste: he's a guy who tears out all the wiring and then grudgingly restores the minimum needed to keep the machine running (no wonder Musk loves him, this is the Twitter playbook)."

“Elon is autistic and that scares people. He’s unpredictable and prone to tantrums,” another Trump ally said. (In 2021, while hosting Saturday Night Live, Musk disclosed publicly that he had a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome, an autism spectrum disorder.)
That said, the longer the “President Musk” memes continue, the more Trump might be motivated to act. It’s been a truism since Trump descended the golden escalator in 2015 that there can only be one star in the Trump show. “Trump has a limit to others getting credit,” a prominent Republican strategist told me. Musk’s falling popularity could also hasten Musk’s defenestration. An Economist/YouGov poll recently found that Musk’s Republican support has dropped 21 points since shortly after Election Day.
“Elon is going to blow himself up,” the Trump ally said."

Die neue US-Regierung unter Donald Trump ist noch keinen Monat im Amt und hat schon weitreichende Entscheidungen gefällt. Eine zentrale Rolle im Staatsumbau spielt die undurchsichtige Behörde DOGE, die von Tech-Milliardär Musk gesteuert wird.

This seem to not be entirely correct - Cole Killian is a crypto bro who apparently worked at Jump's crypto subsidiary (cleverly named #JumpCrypto), a company which was notorious among traders for market manipulation and ended up getting whacked for over a hundred million dollars for financial crimes before having its CEO forced out (which is possibly why Mr. Killian has time to DOGE).
Among other things Jump Crypto was intimately involved in the spectacular collapse of the $40 billion Terra/Luna ponzi scheme, a financial cataclysm that ruined tens of thousands of people's lives.
Put less gently, no one who worked at Jump Crypto should be anywhere near any financial job ever again, period.

The Crypto Grifters Of DOGE
How many crypto grifters does it take to screw up the machinery of state?Michel de Cryptadamus (The Cryptocalypse Chronicles)
“They could put a new file in someone’s record, they could modify an existing record,” one said. “They could delete that record out of the database. They could export all that data about people who are currently or formerly employed by the govt, they could export it to some nongovernment server, or their own PC, or a Google Drive. Or to a foreign country.”
The data that the DOGE team can access includes a massive trove of personal info for millions of federal employees…. It also includes personal info for anyone who applied to a federal job through the site USAJobs, the people said. Last year alone… there were 24.5M applicants.
Trump issued an #ExecutiveOrder last month that bypasses the normal procedure for White House staff security checks, DOGE went unmentioned.
A halt to IT upgrades — along w/fresh access by outsiders w/the power to install new programs — could create novel vulnerabilities at an agency that has been repeatedly #hacked by foreign #intelligence services.

"Thomas Shedd, a Musk-associate and now head of the General Services Administration’s Technology Transformation Services (TTS), told government tech workers in a meeting this week that the administration plans to widely deploy AI throughout the government. Shedd also said the administration would need help altering login.gov, a government login system, to further integrate with sensitive systems like social security “to further identify individuals and detect and prevent fraud,” which employees identified on the meeting as “an illegal task.”
Shedd, who is a former Tesla engineer, said the government should “try to get consent,” regarding login.gov changes but that “we should still push forward and see what we can do.”
WIRED and the New York Times previously reported on aspects of the meeting. 404 Media has now obtained audio of the full meeting and quotes it extensively below. Shedd told TTS workers that the administration would need help making radical changes to various government systems: “Things are going to get intense,” he said."

Huge Treasury Dept (DC) protest against Trump raises "lock him up!" chant
On the 4th of February, a big crowd gathered outside the US Treasury Department to oppose Elon Musk's "DOGE" takeover and penetration of large parts of the Federal government
The takeover of many Federal agences by Elon Musk and his "DOGE" thugs is getting some serious pushback in DC. For Musk's goons to gain access to the personal data of everyone who ever filed taxes online is raising hackles. So is handing over disbursement of Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security payments to the man who destroyed Twitter.
The civil servants whom Trump dismisses as "Deep State" are among the few people who can get a leash on Trump from the inside before he forces serious fighting for everyone else. Between that and the Social Security/Medicaid/Medicare situation this is not just an "inside the Beltway" issue. In fact, the threat to Social Security makes it a "bread and butter" issue.
The Times, Washington Post and CNN were not alone in having a blasé attitude about DOGE in the run up to Trump taking office. As I noted at In These Times, many Democrats indulged the patently false “cost savings” premise, and made no effort to paint it as a far right coup on the liberal state—which it clearly was. Pod Saves America’s Tommy Vietor treated DOGE as a good-faith effort that was simply misguided, and establishment journalists frequently mocked or downplayed its potential to disrupt our government.
This is part of a much larger media regime that, above all, must assume good faith from those in power, no matter their past lies, far-right ideological beliefs, or brash and illegal behavior. Let us call it the “Inverse Power-Skepticism Principle, which can be seen here:"

US Media's Credulous Depiction of 'DOGE' as a Good Faith "Efficiency Panel" Has Aged Poorly
New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN took a pathological liar with a clear ideological agenda at his word for the sole reason he’s rich and powerful.Adam Johnson (The Column)
Democrats have been sounding the alarm over reports that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by billionaire tech investor Elon Musk, was given access to the Treasury Department’s sensitive payment systems.
“We must protect people’s Social Security payments, their Medicare payments, tax refunds, from any possible tampering by DOGE or any other unauthorized entities,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters at a press conference on Monday.
David Lebryk, who was the Treasury’s highest-ranking career official, resigned following a clash with Musk over access to the systems, a source familiar with the matter told The Hill on condition of anonymity.
Reports also emerged over the weekend that officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) also blocked Musk’s allies from gaining access to secure systems.
President Trump said on Monday that Musk “can’t do and won’t do anything without our approval,” but he added that his administration will “give him the approval where appropriate.”"

Whatever the story is, the results are the same. The damage done is not small. The idea that Crypto now uses more energy than many countries, when we should be conserving energy, is crazy.
We all have a choice when it comes to Crypto. I decided years ago not to get involved. If I had gotten involved, I would have made a bundle, but I would have been part of the problem and I did not want to do that.
Lets stay away from any products and services that include Crypto. Lets not support this "industry" in any way.
