Right, because the owner of SpaceX, Tesla, and Twitter/X does not have access to top software talent. And the federal government is renowned for hiring the best and brightest of the IT world.

Actually not really. Top talent tends to go where they are paid consummate to their talent and aren’t subject to the whims of a mercurial, egotistical man child. Spacex barely pays market rate nominally and the expectation of 60-70 hour weeks drops it well below. I know many people who have left spacex and Tesla. It’s not the draw it once was. Twitter/X is a shell of its former self and has lost an estimated 80% of its value. They certainly are not near the level of FAANG.

A-frickin’ men.

False. Uncleared individuals are granted escorted access to SCIFs all the time.

Including people who talk 1:1 with Putin? I’d be surprised…

Here's a look at Musk's contact with Putin and why it matters

The Wall Street Journal reports that billionaire Elon Musk and Russian President Vladimir Putin have been in regular contact.

It's sad to admit, but I clearly spend way too much time on PoA. I pretty much can anticipate how most will reply and/or like. So far, only one surprising like. Carry on....

I handle CUI in my company every day. CUI does NOT require a security clearance to access.

It differs agency to agency and between different sensitivity labels. Some of it does.

from bloomberg:

On Saturday, the standoff centered on access to a secure room that’s designed for reviewing classified and sensitive information. Called a “secure compartmented information facility,” or SCIF, the room on the second floor of the Reagan Building houses some of USAID’s most sensitive documents and personnel information. While the personnel documents they were seeking are not classified, according to people familiar with them, entry to the SCIF requires a top secret/sensitive compartmented information security clearance. It’s unclear whether the DOGE team held security clearances at that level.

“No classified material was accessed without proper security clearances,” wrote Katie Miller, who Trump has attached to DOGE, in a post on X Sunday. She didn’t respond to a request for comment sent to her LinkedIn account.

So looks like they got into a SCIF (but article is a bit vague). "Didn't access info" while not in there. Yeah, right. If they got in, everything in there is compromised.

You left out words in your paraphrase. They didn't access classified info. Which is consistent with the earlier statement that the info they sought to access isn't classified. But for some reason it's stored in a SCIF; perhaps intentionally to make it more difficult than necessary to access.:dunno:

But regardless, per my earlier comment, data does not need to be marked classified for its dissemination to harm individuals, companies, or the country. Do we trust these people and the systems they're putting in place with our sensitive PII?
 
Ed Haywood said:
Not according to the federal regulations which govern CUI.

The regulations do not preclude an agency from requiring stricter controls as necessary depending on the data types they host. Nor the contractors working on the systems from requiring certain levels of clearance.

"These people" are consultants hired by the federal government to do a job. If they were working for the Harris admin, everyone would feel differently.

Including a federal judge who seems likely to block DOGE access to much of this data during a court hearing today since so many norms are being breached.

Like the federal judges who blocked actions by Biden because so many norms were being breached. So much just depends on whose ox is being gored.
