If you're having a team going into every bit of government data, you might want to vet them. Beyond eugenicists and racists, if they're getting anywhere close to SCIFs, make sure they fill out that SF-86 accurately. And maybe even if they're not, have them go through regular clearance procedures.<p>Yes, it takes time. But right now, DOGE seems like a huge security risk for the USG what with it setting up backdoors everywhere, and with unvetted staff working for it.
The bigger picture problem is that Musk's grandfather Haldeman was part of the technocracy movement, which wanted to implement the "North American Technate", which includes Canada, Greenland and much of middle America:<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocracy_movement#The_Technate" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocracy_movement#The_Techn...</a><p>The agenda 2025 is eerily similar, including the proposed land grabs and a tech style governance by "elites".
Seems like there might be quite a few conflicts of interest in this team

“Elez promised that Indian workers in the U.S. on H1Bs visas are “going back don’t worry guys.”<p>Are these guys in some alt-universe where Musk and Theil are advocating against more H1Bs?<p>Or maybe they’re were fine with eugenics and racism but weren’t aware of his H1B smacks?
Don’t worry Musk will rehire him<p><a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93q625y04wo" rel="nofollow">https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c93q625y04wo</a><p>> He will be brought back," Musk posted on X, the social media platform he owns. "To err is human, to forgive divine."<p>Just ignore that’s not on him to forgive.<p>Will be interesting to see how people like to be Chile 2.0
“DOGE chief Musk asks X users if staffer who quit over racist tweets should be rehired” (<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/07/elon-musk-doge-racist-treasury-x-staff.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/07/elon-musk-doge-racist-treasu...</a>)<p>Musk wants to normalize this kind of racism.
But wait, why? How was he pushed to resign? Isn't one of the core arguments for going after the woke that people should be able to say what they want in their free time, and still keep their jobs in their professional life? And his employer is a group that has a supposed mandate to be going after the woke, so they should be best able to push back against public pressure, right? Perhaps the phenomenon of politics is deeper than merely the woke and can never really be eliminated?
The other day, I read a comment on the Wired post stating: "Really, all this article says is that if you are an auditor for the commission appointed by the president, we will make sure that this comes up in an aggressively negative way when somebody who you want to work for googles you. It's pure intimidation, masquerading as journalism."<p>Well, it seems these young men were chosen for qualities that should make them feel intimidated. It's our moral imperative as Americans to hold these people accountable, criminally accountable if necessary. If these men are promoting racist and un-American sentiments with the intention of not being caught, they are trying to fool the entire nation at once. Clearly that cannot persist.
