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.
