DOGE employees gain accounts on classified networks holding nuclear secrets

Source: NPR

Two members of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency were given accounts on classified networks that hold highly guarded details about America's nuclear weapons, two sources tell NPR.

Luke Farritor, a 23-year-old former SpaceX intern, and Adam Ramada, a Miami-based venture capitalist, have had accounts on the computer systems for at least two weeks, according to the sources who also have access to the networks. Prior to their work at DOGE, neither Farritor nor Ramada appear to have had experience with either nuclear weapons or handling classified information.

Trump should create a new department. He could call it the Department of Homeland Security that might monitor situations like this and keep them from happening.

I'm vehemently opposed to capital punishment, but in the case of tRump and Eloon I'll make an exception.

We've lost the Cold War or any kind of MAD theory stalemate. They have our plans.

I hope I'm just being hyperbolic.

If and when we regain power, these criminals will be investigated and held accountable for what they are doing to our government and our country.

I mean.... were given? By who? Were there armed guards threatening them? I still don't understand how these doge jerks can walk into any office and get passwords/access to this kind of information... how do they know exactly what to look for....

And the speed at which they "audit" these government departments to decide who to terminate is not realistic at all. I just don't get it. And trump will as usual take no responsibility.... he'll blame Elon and claim he had nothing to do with it.

AAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH
