In response to the reporters’ filing on Elon Musk’s security clearance details, the network received an email that read, “Good luck with that, they just fired the whole privacy team.” Musk’s security clearance has been a hot topic in the media as his DOGE team has gained access to sensitive data across the federal government.

    I am in no position to make any decisions at all, I am a lowly engineer, who doesn’t even work on-site at the facility i work at. The most i can do is support my colleagues on-site who are actually being questioned in person.

      Being a contractor or low in the chain of command is not an excuse. Remember, even the lowly guards at the camps got held accountable despite “just following orders.”

      Being off-site and therefore physically unable to intervene, on the other hand, is an excuse. But you still ought to do what you can to lock them out of systems/refuse commands/save deleted data/etc.

        Are you seriously comparing being an engineer to a guard in a nazi camp? Get out of here with that bullshit. I can’t take anything you say seriously.
