Summary
Elon Musk’s DOGE website mistakenly published classified intelligence data, including personnel and budget details for the National Reconnaissance Office.
The breach sent Defense Department officials scrambling, as the NRO’s headcount and budget are typically classified. Intelligence aides confirmed the leak is problematic under current security standards.
Concerns have also been raised about DOGE’s inexperienced staff. The White House has not commented, and the site was later hacked.
You absolutely sit in an ivory tower when you make comments like that though. You get to absolve yourself of the responsibility you’re trying to lay at the feet of Americans who are also suffering (and who, I might remind you, the majority of which did not want Trump in office) merely because you have the privilege of living somewhere else.
I can’t control that I was born here, I can’t control that I can’t leave here, and I can’t control that the system is so fucked that I’m basically powerless to change it. Don’t act like you’re better than me because you were lucky enough to be born into (or privileged enough to move into) a better country with a better system. If you do, I have every right to say you sit in an ivory tower.
The main point though is that this stupid blame game helps no one and just further divides the people getting fucked. Climb on down from your ivory tower and try a word of encouragement instead, or if that’s too much for you, just don’t say anything. Whatever you do though, please stop driving the wedge further between the people getting fucked, because that’s exactly what the assholes in power want.
Don’t worry. This person lives in a country that votes at similar levels to the one they’re criticizing. This is a person who probably did nothing about everything their own country and the one they’re criticizing has done before. But now that it feels like it matters to them, it’s time to blame other folks and lash out.
