On brand for Musk. Take it over, rebrand it, pretend you made it.
No wonder him and donvict are pals. That's been donvict's entire life, too.
So this is how they get around needing Congress to establish a new department.
modernizing federal IT
This also might be how they permanently compromise the FEC and voting machines for future elections; considering Trump already mentioned Elon helped with "those vote counting computers".
People keep quoting that one like he didn't also say "we rigged it and won Pennsylvania" right before it
What an excellent way to know I'm likely to be amongst the first on the chopping block (federal IT). And what a great thing to start making cuts to, the people likely keeping everyones digital information secure
Any bets on how long it will be until we see the digital equivalent of 9/11?
Already happened with our telecoms and treasury being hacked. It was barely news for 1 day and now everyone has forgotten.
Like the whole right wing pundits paid millions by Russia thing didn't even make it into the news cycle.
And people are still using sms
I bet the majority of consumer level MFA.
That and banking apps for some reason
We were hacked by our new friends the Chinese.
You mean like Salt Typhoon and related actions by the prc and others? Heavens forbid!
Im putting money on them fucking up the payroll system and screwing every federal employee out of a pay cheque. Bonus if they refuse to do backpay.
For shits and giggles decided to take a look at the site
there's ASCII art in the source
It's changed a few times today too.
It was this:
They then replaced the middle image with:
(I forgot to grab a screenshot at the time, grabbed this from google images)
Now the page shows just:
The ASCII art is also no longer in the page source as of writing.
/edit:
Just noticed, all the images on the page are hosted by 'imagedelivery.net' and there's several references to x.com
I believe the colloquial phrase is, "cringe AF."
Wow. It's all I have to say
He's trying SO HARD to be hip and cool with the kids, and is just failing miserably.
Gotta give it to musk. Can't be easy to be simultaneously the most successful man in the world and the biggest loser. He truly is the alpha and the omega.
Thanks, Obama.
Okay so the government’s software definitely does need updated.
But I’m not sure Musk is the right guy for the job.
I'm sure musk is not the right guy for the job
He is if the goal is privatization and enriching oligarchs...
Looking forward to the swearing in at the Four Seasons.
Spirit Halloween energy 🎃
I was convinced I was reading a satirical headline at first.
Wait, it is not?
Every headline satire, cuz we live in a fucking South Park episode.
Doesn’t matter anymore. You could ask the same about reality.
I don’t want Elon must choosing what to install on government computers.
Thanks, Obama.
Another common L from the US Government.
