    The claim is that Starlink is compromised by Russia, and DOGE is sending all private data it extracts from agencies via Starlink, including sensitive Department of Energy data.

      Not the whole claim.

      “The first thing, what Dan witnessed was that within 15 minutes of DOGE employees creating user accounts, i.e. Usernames and passwords, within 15 minutes of those accounts being created, somebody or something from Russia tried to log in with the right username and right passwords — that is to say — the right credentials. And that happened over 20 times.”

      Seems clear Musk is as compromised as Trump by Russia. The cold war never ended. America just stopped fighting.

        Tbh, I’m not convinced either of them are compromised by Russia in that sense (though wouldn’t be surprised, to be clear. We pretty much know Trump has assaulted and raped underage girls; I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk has also). I think they’re both just scared little boys who are trying to impress who they see as a big, strong man, in order to get the kind of fatherly approval that they never received from their actual fathers. They’re both childishly impulsive and both try comedically hard to be seen as strong and capable, and then get emotional when they see that image being challenged.

        Are they going to start saying Putin has Musk pee tapes too now?

      I believe the allegation is that DOGE+Musk+Starlink=Russia? Kind of hard to tell because there’s a lot in there. I don’t think it’s saying Russia compromised Starlink, but that these people are sharing data and access with Russia. Some details or logs would help.

        Wouldn’t surprise me if none of that shit was encrypted and it got manipulated on the fly. Not asking for any recounts was one of Kamala’s biggest mistakes. It should really be standard practice to do at least a spot check.
