Is it possible that Musk is secretly and illegally making copies of the databases from OPM, Medicare, Medicade, SSA, and USAJobs for his own use, Republican party use, or for the Russian’s use?

One must presume so.

Of course he is-how else would he blackmail important people in the future?

Maybe it’s a continuation of stealing the secret and TS documents he did four years ago, that he stupidly got caught with at MAL. FBI should have raided Bedminster and prosecuted him immediately, now all that is lost. Smith’s part I report seemed like a summary of publicly available info anyway. Need to supplement these investigations with phone and email taps and bank records, but there is no rule of law anymore.

They have value to Musk also. Big fat bargaining chip. Eventually we’ll be asking who has leverage on whom.

He’s very close to leadership in China with a lot of investments & more on the board.

Not possible. Virtually guaranteed.

Our favorite journalist, Judd Legum, has made an immediate and effective impact on the criminal (illegal) and unconstitutional moves against the United States of America by Elon Musk! The Judge scheduled the hearing against the continuation of this unraveling for 11 am today! Kudos to Caleb Ecarma for your important contribution.

This is why I decided to become a paid subscriber to Popular Information. They do investigative journalism outside of the corporate media rubric and they do it well - something we desperately need to support.

Great job! You’re making a difference and bringing to light major issues that the traditional media has (been told to?) ignored.

I seriously do not understand how we have NO roadblocks for this kind of lunacy! The Dems can be prevented from everything legal but we can’t stop rescumliCons from all the illegal things they do. We don’t have time for lawsuits. These people must be removed. Use the National Guard, the FBI or both! How long must we sit and watch our destruction?

We need Senators who vote NO on Trump's appointees. Check Roll Call and see how many Democrats voted to put Rubio (and his J6 rioter in USAID) and Besssent (and his buddy Musk) and Ratcliffe (sending names of operatives through unsecured mail) and Duffy (climate change is a hoax). When Democrats say YES to those above - they cannot be trusted to concern themselves with me or DEMOCRACY.

We had them, but Trump and Muck have destroyed them with the complicit GOP and USSC. Laws are useless if no one will enforce them.

Thank you Judd! In the swirling bowl of American's freedoms and privacy, you are an important voice to slow their efforts. I fear that I am losing hope, but this does help so much!

I'm assuming that all our PII is compromised. We've made sure that we have credit freezes on our accounts, FWIW. That may prevent hackers who obtain our PII from access. There are SO many ways this is dangerous to the citizenry that I can't even begin to explain. I would not be surprised if all the information that Muck and his brats have stolen (and that's what this is. Data theft on a massive scale) has been stored on many thumb drives and hard drives with no cyber or physical security by his brats. They could be anywhere.

From what I've seen in the press, they have little regard for security or safety. It's entirely possible that massive amounts of data is now in the hands of China, Russia, and others.

Great job. You should also dig into musk's obsession with the poor, put upon white South Africans who are being oppressed and discriminated against. He seems to have his own version of the great replacement. Replace "disloyal" Americans with superior white South Africans. And More musk emulating hitler.
