Whither Musk's People At Social Security?


     I’m laying in supplies of popcorn. There is open acrimony between Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Who could have predicted?

    Can we now get Musk's kiddie corps of DOGE computer "experts" out of Social Security? Like being escorted out by security today?  With a subsequent investigation to see whether they did anything illegal?

Thank God, I have been waiting for this since the first fork in the road email. #deportElonMusk. Too bad all the damage he did is baked into the FY 26 budget.

As they say, breaking up is hard to do and makes for mighty fine entertainment when it involves two spoiled drama queens. Save some pop corn for the rest of us.

COSS, CIO and General Council are all DOGE guys. The kids aren't going anywhere just because Elon is gone.

After the Manager's Call and the Town Hall with the COSS talking gibberish like AI, I think he'll have a 'health issue' that will cause him to step down by year end.

We're just now hearing Special Appointments are only 130 days. With their fearless leader in exile, DOGE will be gone soon.

Odds are even if they're booted out that they have built backdoors in all of those systems to exploit and exfiltrate data from it for a very long time. It doesn't take much at all to compromise a system, especially when you have full access to it, but it takes herculean amounts of effort to find the compromise and patch it. There will be a lot of bad actors willing to pay for this information and money talks.

While we're all curious about how this plays out and want to revel in schadenfreude about it, the reality and implications of this is terrifying.

Leland are you worried that both your parents are fighting and will have no time for you. I heard the witness protection program in Libya is top notch. Remember that the first words out of your mouth should be.., LAWYER!

TACO just lost Brutus. May I suggest yoga?

Keep dreaming, Frank is an Elon guy. DOGE is fully in control and not going anywhere. If there's a DOGE purge, SSA will be their last hold out.

Does anybody have extra popcorn?

Former White House official Steve Bannon urged President Trump on Thursday to investigate Elon Musk’s immigration status and deport him “immediately,” amid the war of words between the world’s richest man and the commander in chief.

“They should initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status, because I am of the strong belief that he is an illegal alien, and he should be deported from the country immediately,” Bannon, who served as Trump’s chief strategist during the president’s first term, told the New York Times.

Elon is taking his basketball and the DOGE boys with him. The DOGE boys work for Brutus.

Yeah, I don’t think Bisignano will last a year, and he’ll cite health problems as the reason for his departure. Perhaps it will be a relapse of the throat cancer (that he mentioned four times during the meeting). He was all over the place in that meeting, and personally, I think he sounded drunk.

Elon should be careful, or Trump may send Seal Team 6 after him.

Wondering what happens to Trumps red Tesla.

Musk’s absolutely moronic idea of using scare tactics to push DRP has by far been the most damaging thing to SSA. Hopefully those fooled by his South African accident realize HE IS NOT INTELLIGENT.

Leland lied while destroying the agency. He should be held accountable for all the pain and suffering he caused.

The new COSS already has his tax deal locked in. That may be reason enough to go and give some other tech billionaire out of the Thiel stable a chance to cash in.

President Donald Trump on Saturday said there would be “serious consequences” if tech mogul Elon Musk funds Democratic candidates to run against Republicans who vote in favor of the GOP’s sweeping budget bill.

“If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview, but declined to share what those consequences would be.
