We shouldn’t just hand over credentials of course.

But, the way I see it, this ship already sailed. DOGE stole all our financial info by accessing the treasury databases, in fact that seemed to be one of their top priorities last year. If you don’t think Elon turned around and sold that data to any willing buyers, well…I’ve got a bridge to sell ya. And this is on top of the myriad credit agency hacks, which there seems to be at least 1-2 every year now.

All this data is being sold to people like Altman.

And, I’m starting to think they’re using it to apply pressure to municipalities where they want to build new data centers, but I’m still working out that particular theory…
