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.

He was. A whole bunch of idiots decided that Kamala was no better than Trump, and simply didn't vote.

Look at the turn-out numbers. Millions of fewer people voted in this election than in the previous.

Yeah that’s why they make smug comments about fucking around with voting machines and Elon’s kid yelled “they’ll never know!” To which he embarrassingly laughed it off during an interview, like his dad was bragging in front of him and he was imitating him.

I dunno if they needed to or not, but I promise they fucked with the totals somehow.

Are you counting the millions of minority voters purged from the rolls or are you out here perpetuating more Russian/right-wing propaganda?

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

plus the voting machines were hacked the last 3 elections, and nobody said a word, not even the dems were raising a stink over this.

Last three? In 2000 in Velusia County, Florida Al Gore received negative votes.

He literally admitted publicly to Elon using Starlink to get votes. How dense could you people be?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Both can be true at the same time. They needed every vote possible.
