I'm surprised there isn't more discussion about this as a security breach. Let's say hypothetically Musk decided to sell all the private information to a malicious actor. How would we know or not know? Accountability is more than policy.

This and (reportedly) unlimited access to OPM databases and the locking out of federal employees. I highly doubt these DOGE people have security clearances of any kind and the oversight infrastructure of inspectors-general has already been (illegally) dismantled in many departments.

  These people...Are his SpaceX employees... "We have no visibility into what they are doing with the computer and data systems," one of the officials said. "That is creating great concern.

Seems quite difficult to tell the difference between an operation to destabilize USA and Musk’s broad tampering. I would even go further and say that the division caused by Russiagate and its backlash will buy Musk some time before destabilization is mentioned along with connections to Putin.
