Of course the first thing anyone talks about are the now far-less-secured data on every US citizen's SSN, DOB, Addresses, Bank Accounts, Taxes, TelNos Emails, etc. now held not (only) in the well-secured US Govt internal networks, but now off on some Musk-run network setup by a handful of naive interns. And of course the implications when Musk and/or Trump make good on promises/threats to use that access to directly screw with the payments through that system.
What I have not yet seen even mentioned is how useful the data on networks or connectomes of people, corporations, and other entities would be to someone like Musk or his friends in Russia and China. This connectivity data has long been recognized as Facebook's greatest asset. Musk already has huge amounts of data on who is linked to whom by owning Twitter, and has most of their phone numbers &/or emails. He can now correlate those two data sets and any others he might want to purchase and ... 3. Profit!
What do you see as possibilities for steps 2 and 3?
