"" that contain sensitive personal data such as Social Security and bank account numbers for millions of Americans.""
Well done JUDGE, this data contains citizens IRS records, Social Security benefits, Federal employees salaries, bank accounts data, it is the Holy Grail for scammers thieves, no one should have access to these records except the designated agencies like the IRS and the Treasury Department.
Mr. Musk can do his work but without having access to private records of U.S citizens from what I understand. .

Musk was not even born in the USA and some say he was working in the USA illegally? And now he's the President of the US (confirmed by latest TIME cover). Trump is the real president and Mr. Trump is his little poodle boy.

What a joke, sorry Woody Lee. Musks not interested in stealing from citizens bank accounts, nor passing on their information to scammers and thieves. They really must think we are all mugs with a narrative push like that.
It’s the old power base desperate, and simply doesn’t want to see the levels of corruption and waste see the light of day. None of this is rocket science either! Pun very much intended.
Musk, Vivek, Doge, man do your thing! The mandate is yours, and the desperate attempts to hide everything is just an added bonus and sideshow.

Mr. Musk grand father was an Apartheid supporter . Source, Wikipedia so one would expect actions like what we are seeing with DOGE.

MAGA doesn't care about the law, precedent, or norms. It is in thrall to the personality cult of Trump, whose basic foundation is white male insecurity (Ineffectual Male Syndrome) and frustration, and the desire to break stuff and piss off "the left".
Young rich nerds doing the bidding of a middle-aged rich nerd, none of them who know anything about government or society.

"" Elon Musk's maternal grandfather, Joshua Norman Haldeman, was a political activist who supported apartheid in South Africa. Haldeman was a Canadian chiropractor who moved to South Africa early in the apartheid era.
Over the course of decades he repeatedly expressed racist, anti-Semitic, and antidemocratic views. In South Africa he was a supporter of apartheid and promoted a number of conspiracy theories. A pilot since 1948, he died in a plane crash in 1974. Haldeman is the maternal grandfather of businessman Elon Musk.""

I like how JD Vance has called for the fired racist kid to be rehired, despite the kid in question saying "Promote Indian Hate" or whatever it was, and Vance's wife being Indian. I am sure he must go home proudly to his wife and kids and say, "Guess what I did today, guys!"

I expect they already have the data they wanted the most. The case will trundle up to the [Republican] supreme court, so I guess this just delays it.
Those who do not normally bother to vote may perhaps now have realised that in a democracy, people vote not to get people into government, but to keep people out of government. A vote doesn't signify support, but a rejection of the alternative. Hence, it is wise to get up off that sofa and make an effort sometimes, even if none of the options are particularly good.
As a general rule, you should never trust an adult who dresses or behaves like a teenager. Pic related.
