United States Digital Service Hacked by Musk [1]

I had never heard of the United States Digital Service before I read a Time article that mentioned it. I suppose most other Americans haven’t heard about it either. Heck, probably most Congress people didn’t know it existed before the system was hacked by Elon’s criminal enterprise.

Musk named Steve Davis, a 20 year employee who helped him cut costs and employees at SpaceX and Twitter. Davis is an aerospace engineer who finagled his way into the White House in December. He was asking a lot of questions about how the USDS worked. It has the map of the infrastructure of government computer systems. The original reason it was started in 2014 was to help different departments interact with each other digitally and to help citizens have a smooth experience when dealing with the government online.

Trump renamed it “The United States Doge Service”. This one system allowed Musk and his cohorts to reach all departments of the government immediately. The connectedness of all US entities was sabotaged by the non security cleared techbros to reach all departments from day 1. There is no doubt that the writers of the Project 2025 knew about this very important Service. They knew that between having all those executive orders ready to be signed on day 1 and having the ability to hack into every department of the government would enable them to “Shock and Awe” everyone. It worked.

Now all Democracy loving citizens need to learn all they can about the damage and disarray that Trump, Vought and Musk have unleashed on the American public. Then you need to be supporting whatever group you want who can fight for our privacy and freedom in courts. That is the only way we can stem the tide of destruction the Republicans have voted in to power.
