Is there any evidence to back any of they following claims against Musk/DOGE:
1) That this an attempted coup?
It lacks the violence (in the physical sense), but the people who are being let go, locked out of their jobs for trying to prevent unauthorized access to data, suddenly stuck overseas as their jobs go into limbo, etc, etc, probably feel like a violence has been perpetrated upon them.
"On Feb. 2, two security officials for the U.S. Agency for International Development resisted granting a DOGE team access to sensitive financial and personnel systems until their identities and clearances were verified in accordance with federal requirements. Instead, the officials were threatened with arrest and placed on administrative leave, and DOGE’s team gained access."
Kind of like a cop pulling over another cop for drunk driving, and then the sober cop gets arrested and placed on leave. For doing his job.
1b) Assuming it is an attempted coup, wouldn't the looney left prefer the guy responsible for making electric cars a reality to bad Orange Man.
It seems the retarded right is the group in favor of overthrows of power.
Attack the Capitol and they will cheer you, defend your actions, pardon you for your crimes.
2) Is there any evidence that DOGE employees don't have or need security clearance?
They haven't even been hired. An outside agency doesn't grant itself security clearance to government systems.
3) is there any evidence DOGE/Elon is stealing personal data?
Mere unauthorized access to it is a violation of many of the laws I named.
4) Is there any evidence that DOGE is violating HIPPA?
Mere unauthorized access to it is a violation of many of the laws I named. If ANY of the many standards of the law are violated, then they are violating HIPAA.
5) Is there any evidence that Musk & Co have violated any of the laws they are accused of violating? To put this question in perspective, I own a car, but that doesn't mean I'm violating emissions laws & traffic laws. IOW, the ability to violate a law isn't evidence that a law has been violated.
Yes. Mere unauthorized access is a violation.
Your car example is a good one. You leave the bar and realize a block away that you are too drink to drive. You pull off the road to sleep it off.
You start your car to keep warm. You can now be hit with DUI.
If your car is deemed not roadworthy due to emissions problems, that car is not legally roadworthy even if you are not driving it. Right?
Now. let's jump to HIPAA. Simply failing to train the people who access these systems about HIPAA rules is a violation. How many have had HIPAA training by the department they assumed control of?
Who gave them the training if they haven't been hired, appointed, contracted, commissioned, etc, by the department they assumed control of?
HIPAA training for a hospital I worked for doesn't satisfy HIPAA training for the government agency I don't officially work for.
Also HIPAA: I leave my computer unlocked in a place where the public can access it. HIPAA (and MANY others) violation.
Someone sits at my computer and starts using it. HIPAA (and many others) violation.
But it's all good b/c Musk builds electric cars that the conservatives hate since they don't use antiquated fossil fuels, right?
