Two members of Elon Musk’s DOGE have been given accounts on classified networks that hold highly guarded details about America’s nuclear weapons, two independent sources tell NPR.
Luke Farritor, a 23-year-old former SpaceX intern, and Adam Ramada, a Miami-based venture capitalist, have had accounts on the computer systems for at least two weeks, according to the sources who also have access to the networks.
Prior to their work at DOGE, neither Farritor nor Ramada appear to have had experience with either nuclear weapons or handling classified information.
Debating whether the government sysadmin tasked to hand out accounts put them in a “moron CEO jail” environment where they can’t actually do anything, or “lol screw it” and gave them all the access because he isn’t paid enough for this.
Figured it would be Trump or Putin in their dementia to launch the birds. Or maybe Hegseth. Turns out it will be Big Balls from 4chan, living out his school shooter fantasy.
When Putin meets the rest of the KGB in hell they’re not going to believe how he did this.
“So you just convinced them to elect an idiot and they folded? And they don’t even care that you did it?!”
Stop acting like he was fairly elected
He was. A whole bunch of idiots decided that Kamala was no better than Trump, and simply didn’t vote.
Look at the turn-out numbers. Millions of fewer people voted in this election than in the previous.
Yeah that’s why they make smug comments about fucking around with voting machines and Elon’s kid yelled “they’ll never know!” To which he embarrassingly laughed it off during an interview, like his dad was bragging in front of him and he was imitating him.
I dunno if they needed to or not, but I promise they fucked with the totals somehow.
Are you counting the millions of minority voters purged from the rolls or are you out here perpetuating more Russian/right-wing propaganda?
Let’s see.
Here’s data from NPR. I know, I know… while [checks notes] gregplast.com is a well known, unbiased source of truth, and NPR is just a two-bit right-wing mouthpiece, NPR’s numbers reflect what we were seeing in Lemmy: the far left boycotting Kamala because of Biden’s support of Israel and her refusal to divorce herself from the genocide, instead either refusing to vote or voting for the Russian shill Jill Stein. Latinos, particularly men, voting Red. White voters without college degrees turning up in record numbers. Meanwhile, the Council for Foreign Relations - practically another Republican think-tank, right? - reported that Kamala garnered over 6 million fewer votes than Biden did on 2020. Even if your source of gregplast is right and Harris got the 3M votes this gregplast says were purged, she still got 3M fewer votes than Biden.
And, in case you hadn’t heard this before: the popular vote means nothing. This is only the second time in the past 5 Republican victories where they’ve won the popular vote - they lost the other 3 and still won, because of the electoral college. So it didn’t matter a god-damned how many popular votes Kamala had; she needed to win the electoral college and she wasn’t close.
What I hear is a bunch of idiots who protest voted because of Palestine (a cause which I am utterly aligned with, but understood Kamala was the lesser of two evils) now trying to justify and not take responsibility for letting Trump win.
If you voted for Kamala, then fine: you tried. But anyone who didn’t vote, or voted for Jill Stein[1] or some other never-winner: they’re why Trump won. Suck it up and take responsibility for your fuck up, learn, and don’t make that mistake again.
If any of us get a chance to make that mistake again, that is. 2024 may have been the last election.
[1] I don’t know how much I trust this source, but apparently Stein got a full 18% of the votes in Dearborn, Michigan, which has a large Arab-American population. However, from what I can find that’s less than half of what she pulled from Hillary in 2016.
I don’t know how much I trust this source [NewsNation]
FWIW, MBFC rates them high credibility, least biased, and “high” on factual reporting.
I mean okay it says a lot that you don’t know who Greg Plast is, but we all have knowledge gaps. It says much more that you can’t even be bothered to do a quick search to see who he is or even skim the article provided before discounting it entirely. If you had you’d find not only the evidence presented but the high profile and notably trustworthy people he’s working with, and your rebuttal of the article would be a lot more informed and impactful.
I skimmed. He didn’t seem particularly unbiased.
plus the voting machines were hacked the last 3 elections, and nobody said a word, not even the dems were raising a stink over this.
Last three? In 2000 in Velusia County, Florida Al Gore received negative votes.

He literally admitted publicly to Elon using Starlink to get votes. How dense could you people be?
Both can be true at the same time. They needed every vote possible.
he was, but a ton of money was spent convincing the voters who to elect
plus the 24/7 coverage trump was getting by all the MSM last year.
One country clearly is in control of the president and all the “smart” people look past the damning evidence and point to Russia. You’ve been duped and they couldn’t be happier.
What?
I genuinely don’t know how america can recover. the systems of our government are going to be permanently compromised or devastated, half of our politicians have gone from corrupt to openly despotic and the other half do nothing, and our president is n out right traitor.
Given what Elon Musk has said and done, I would not be a bit surprised if he made a mad dash for the nuclear stockpile.
Why be the richest man on earth, when you can also be the one to hold it hostage?
Thankfully, most of that shit is still on magtape, so actually have to work for it.
Oh, sure, a 23 yo intern and some VC bro fuckwad yeah, ok, yep, no security clearances whatsoever but fuck it, they just have Q clearance level access now, they just have SIPRnet access, their own accounts.
We already know other members of Elon’s parade of imbeciles at DOGE can’t even fucking figure out how to not expose their own remote logins to other government systems, and they’ve been getting those accounts hijacked by IP addresses in fucking Moscow already.
What could possibly go wrong?
DOGE continues to be the grandest scale, most insane, ongoing ‘cybersecurity event’/‘treason’ in history.
If anyone other than these fucks, in this exact situation, were doing this, they’d be getting black bagged by people who don’t exist and sent to facilities that don’t exist… possibly to many seperate facilities, at the same time, in many pieces.
I don’t even know what to say other than to drop into Tom Clancy lingo and say these fascist morons are actual clear and present dangers that warrant sending the guys that you’d send to go after the Rainbow Six guys if one of them goes rogue.
This is the Garry’s Mod version of GMan waltzing and trapezing into Black Mesa with a hoard of T posing Kleiners with physguns stuck in their crotches flailing about behind him, and then giving the two Kleiners that didn’t accidentally kill themselves by flinging props around, giving two of them just direct access, personal, remote log ins to, uh, the trunk lines set aside for for only secret, top secret, and all kinds of compartmentalized classifications levels of info.
Gman’s employers could be mapping out the network as we speak, spreading out laterally and trying to figure out ways to embed themselves with persistent presence.
jfc.
The accounts were exposed by design
Yeah, they were exposed so quickly that the only explanation is that it was done on purpose. Russia literally had access less than 15 minutes after the accounts were created. That’s not enough time for a brute force attack, unless the password was literally “password”. And even then, Russia would need to know the usernames in order to begin the brute force attack.
There was no hack. There was no leak. The secrets were sold and handed over voluntarily and this will continue for the foreseeable future.
… There are a lot of domain specific, contextually distinct ways one could interperet what you just said.
Could you be more precise?
I can think of at least two, totally different, practically opposite in meaning, ways of interpreting your comment, off the top of my head.
i got another pop-cultural metaphor for you: this is totally like that time voldemort took over the ministry of some shit who cares
And with the amount of incompetence we’ve seen I’m sure it’ll be sometime within the next month that 4chan has access to our nuclear weapons. Good job America, you gave a bunch of internet edgelords like Musk nuclear weapons.
I trust 4chan with nukes more then Musk
nah, 4chan gets nukes and immediately someone from /b/ will attempt to an hero the entire world cause it’d be funny
like you can skip right past “we could be evil with this” and go to “we can be indifferently malicious to everyone everywhere forever and pull off the most legendary, species-ending shitpost”
Did 4chan return from the hack?
Couple days ago

How will Russia memorise all these different passwords??
They already gave KGB (IP addresses from Russia) username & passwords minutes after they were created.
…neither Farritor nor Ramada appear to have had experience with… nuclear weapons…
This seems like a step in the direction of getting us all some experience with nuclear weapons. Thank you, Department Of Getting Evaporated!
The age of “meritocracy”…
Better grab them and lock them up before they disseminate the stuff
I mean, I know there won’t be legal action for DOGE members, but I do love the part where we’re publishing their names. Let’s keep that up.
It’s waaaay too late for that.
They’re sending stuff directly to Russia via starlink, almost instantly after gaining access to networks. In at least one case someone with an IP in Russia tried to log in to one of the newly created DOGE accounts, with the real credentials.
Too late, they’ve already uploaded it all to Russia via Starlink
My first thought exactly. Bet Felon got paid a pretty penny and some nice Russian hookers for that slice of treason pie.
his twitter purchase was paid partially by putins oligarchs.
Well… Nuclear apocalypse is certainly one way to ensure that we won’t need to pay federal income tax any longer.
Gee, I always thought we spend way to much money on the nuclear arsenal. Glad doge is there to make cuts.
Can’t wait for my check…
What could go wrong?
