‘No, I’m not kidding’: Elon Musk gives 23-year-old DOGE worker IT system access to department that manages U.S. nuclear arsenal​


View attachment 17158

Elon Musk has given a 23-year-old DOGE employee access to the Energy Department’s IT systems despite alleged pushback from the department, which oversees the country’s nuclear weapon arsenal.

Since Donald Trump’s inauguration, Musk has relentlessly pushed himself and his so-called DOGE into every corner of the government. He forced his way into sensitive government information from USAID, putting the agency’s security chiefs on leave to do so. Additionally, he gained access to federal pay systems in the Treasury and student loan systems in the Department of Education, including the personal information of millions of Americans and students. It’s highly unusual for someone who is not part of an official government agency and who has not been elected to a cabinet position to gain the level of access to sensitive information that Musk has seized. Even more concerning is that Musk’s 19 – 26 year-old DOGE employees are accessing this information, too.


Musk has been suspiciously secretive about his DOGE employees, refusing to release many of their names and qualifications for their positions. There are concerns about how, or even if, he’s vetting these candidates. Given that one DOGE employee has already resigned after promoting racism and eugenics, Americans have reason to be concerned with who exactly Musk is giving access to classified government information, especially since they could potentially access information relating to nuclear weapons.

Elon Musk gives DOGE employee access to Energy Department’s IT systems​

There is no evidence that DOGE employees have access to nuclear secrets or information, but they may be getting uncomfortably close to that information. As reported by CNN, DOGE recently accessed the Energy Department’s IT systems. 23-year-old DOGE employee Luke Farritor, a former SpaceX intern, was granted access to the systems by Energy Secretary Chris Wright. However, two sources told CNN that the move was opposed by those within the department, including its “general counsel and chief information offices.”

Among its many functions, the Energy Department manages the nation’s nuclear stockpile through the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). Meanwhile, CNN‘s sources alleged that Farritor hadn’t received a standard background check and was not cleared to be in the department’s systems. TikTok reporter Aaron Parnas also shared the news of the 23-year-old’s access and had to remind viewers, “No, I’m not kidding.”

DOGE’s presence isn’t the only change in the Department of Energy. Energy CIO Dawn Zimmer was also quietly removed from her role and replaced with an engineer from Musk’s company, SpaceX. As of now, though, DOGE doesn’t appear to have significant access, as CNN reports Farritor gained only basic access to e-mail and Microsoft 365. Secretary Wright also disputed claims that Farritor wasn’t given a background check, insisting he knew precisely who the DOGE employees were and what they were doing.


Yet, the news hasn’t painted a positive picture of the vetting process at DOGE. In addition to Elez’s racist Tweets, Bloomberg reported that another DOGE employee, 19-year-old Edward Coristine, was previously fired from a cyber firm for allegedly leaking internal information to a competitor. One would think a basic background check would have caught this detail and rendered Coristine ineligible to work in a position where he’s accessing sensitive government information. These reports make it even more concerning that DOGE is getting dangerously close to nuclear information and seems interested in expanding its access to every department and system.

Typical bs article acting like the sky is falling because of the age of the people working on the computers, implying they’re unqualified. I suppose they’d be more comfortable with an old fart for appearances who struggled to use new dangled technology like email, etc?

The article even admits the following, I quote:

“There is no evidence that DOGE employees have access to nuclear secrets or information, but they may be getting uncomfortably close to that information. As reported by CNN,”

“As of now, though, DOGE doesn’t appear to have significant access, as CNN reports Farritor gained only basic access to e-mail and Microsoft 365. Secretary Wright also disputed claims that Farritor wasn’t given a background check, insisting he knew precisely who the DOGE employees were and what they were doing.”

180k salary, worth 30 million

This is Democrats


Remember, Samantha Power unmasked 260 names of Americans caught up in raw intelligence reports in the final days of the Obama administration. Many were members of the Trump administration or transition team. Power was only the UN Ambassador and had no reason to unmask all of these names. At first, when questioned, she denied it was her. But he name was listed on all of the unmasking requests. We never got an explanation why she unmasked all those names, why she denied unmasking them, and who she revealed those names to after she unmasked them.

When questioned by congress, Power claimed the number produced by the intelligence agencies for the Intelligence Committee was wrong, and far in excess of what she actually requested. She also claimed she unmasked more than other UN Secretaries because she was a larger consumer of intelligence than others.

Power was knee deep in the Obama espionage of the Trump campaign. She is another liar and plotter, like Sally Yates and Ben Rhodes, who needs to be investigated thoroughly for her ties to the Russia-Trump collusion hoax.

This is what I said day one when Elon first started leveraging to force a twitter sale. They pist him off during covid deleting his tweets then going so far as to ban his account. They fucked with the wrong dude. A dude they had in their pocket and on their side for decades.

I think this means it was to combat deception on social media, not to create deception. Either way, it is a form of censorship paid for by the government and an unnecessary waste of tax dollars.

I don't think he has any evidence of kickbacks yet. But it is hard to look at what has been revealed so far and not conclude that the money is being laundered back to someone.

What we do not know yet is how these government agencies decide which NGOs and private organizations should get money and which shouldn't. Knowing how Washington works it is not hard to conclude the payments go to organizations headed by friend of the current government. Many of these NGOs are headed by ex-government officials and appointees. I would bet that these organizations them make political contributions to campaigns and PAC in support of the same politicians who supported giving them money. It is clearly money laundering and after so many years you can bet the government is really good at it.

Remember the Biden family, including grandkids, getting money deposited to their accounts? That's an example of how this works, no doubt.

And by the way, keep in mind Elon and Trump are businessmen. Their experiences in business are related to cost cutting or keeping costs under control. It is natural for them to keep an eye on money going out the door in return for products or services. The government is in the business of doling out money. That is what they do. There is no cost control component. They get a huge outlay from congress and their job is to find ways to spend it. Questioning where the money is going is as foreign to them as having an endless bank account is to a businessman.
