Summary
Federal employees have filed a class action lawsuit seeking a temporary restraining order to disconnect a server allegedly installed illegally at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) by associates of Elon Musk.
The lawsuit claims the server, connected without required privacy assessments, risks exposing government employees’ data.
The server is linked to the Trump administration’s plan to downsize the federal workforce.
If the motion is granted, the administration’s “deferred resignation program” could be delayed.
See if they can walk 100 of them out at the same time.
Pretty much. At some point stuff like this relies on everyone accepting it. The man in the high castle is a pretty good example of it actually. John didn’t grow up a nazi, doesn’t genuinely believe in it, but goes along with it so he can continue to provide for his family.
In the end what difference does it make it you are just going along with it or if you believe it?
That’s exactly what they’re aiming to do.
The one thing that usually prevents this is the need to prevent government dysfunction and the collapse of whole institutions, and neither Trump nor Musk give a fuck. It works in their favor and their supporters are happy to justify it.
