    Lol. It wasn’t a breach. The govt gave them it’s blessing to help themselves to the citizens’ data. Elon just speed ran the largest consolidated database in history for his use/ financial benefit.

      And opened up dozens of servers with confidential data to the public Internet in the process.

      And sent all our data to a private AI company.

      Both are super illegal, but Republican politicians are criminals who don’t respect the rule of law.

        Heh. Who do you think is gonna profit from the sale/ exploitation/ coercion/ blackmail/ extortion based on what’s in this data?

        Would be a shame if those business expenses of an opposing politician could be linked to a guy who ‘confessed’ to being a drug mule, eh?

      There’s still supposed to be the rule of law. If you hire someone to housesit for you and their ketamine addled boyfriend shows up to trash the place and steal your shit, there’s going to be a problem. You hired someone to housesit, whatever is going on beyond that is not legitimate.

        Well, they’ve already created new precedents for interpreting the constitution and how said rule of law is enforced, so…
