It wasn't a disaster. Musk got all the information he wanted. Mission accomplished.

What would have been amazing is if Musk and the DOGE kids he hired were denied access, blocked from entering any government building, and accomplished nothing. It would have been a rare moment in recent years where humanity had something to be proud of.

> It is hard to fathom anyone on the planet less qualified than Elon Musk to opine on the value of public service experience when lives are at stake.

This is the opening line of this piece. With a hyperbolic, charged statement like that, be mindful to avoid getting into a flurry of emotions. I’m not a fan of that kind of writing I would prefer to read something a bit more level headed. I don’t care who or what it’s about - I can make up my own mind if it really matters, just give me the information to work with.

Rest of the article isn’t much better.

I wonder if and how many backdoors were planted in government computers.
