Almost certainly. The college-age stooges are the type to brag about their work and deep access. Perfect targets for foreign intelligence to turn them into assets, witting or not. Money, women, status, drink; any half-competent intelligence officer will know exactly what buttons to press with Elon's goon squad.

Given that government lawyers are unable to answer questions about who has access and what they're doing with it, I'd say that point has come and gone. ---- "I'm not sure that is accurate, and I just don't have -- I'm not, I just don't have the information necessarily," Humphreys responded.

Which is the most basic question that any audit(or) will ask and that needs to be answerable for any security certification. If you don't know who has access to your system, or how it has been (potentially) changed, how can you be sure it's still your system?
