Are you saying, a potus appointed commission for auditing government system is worse than a chinese backdoor in treasury department, who's level of access was u

  Yes. Someone without clearance nor congress approval running around with a sledgehammer is a lot more an immediate issue than a long term saboteur. We can deal with both, but let's make priorities.

  No one invited the Chinese through the front door. If you can’t understand that difference, you’re missing something very critical. One is serious because a foreign adversary is compromising us; the other is serious because we are apparently designing the compromise ourselves via the whims of a demagogue.

  > Are you saying, a potus appointed commission for auditing government system […] You don't need read-write access for auditing. You don't need root/admin-level privileges.

    Do they really have write access though? So far the only evidence of that is a wired article [1] with anonymous sources, even those source were not 100% sure about it. Since then wired has posted another article [2] claiming the access have been revoked after announcements from senior officials, which again is from anonymous sources. I'm really skeptical of these anonymous sources tbh. [1] https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-associate-bfs-federal-payment-system https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-associate-bfs-federal-...
