'A romance scam away': Ex-official warns Musk has U.S. teetering at edge of catastrophe

Raw Story  

Elon Musk and his team's intrusion into sensitive government computer networks is creating a grave national security risk, according to some of the federal officials he sent packing. “You are controlling technology pipelines, which is the modern-day equivalent of blocking the highway, you are controlling any in and out flow,” said Ayushi Roy, a former technologist at the General Services Administration who now teaches digital government at the Harvard Kennedy School. “It looks like he’s using data and IT systems as a backdoor way to gain considerable discretionary power without normal, legal oversight.” The tech mogul hired former employees and other loyalists to access data sets including the private personal data of taxpayers, government workers, grants and contracts. A former Tesla engineer recently installed as director of Technology Transformation Services at the General Services Administration, appeared to confirm concerns by some tech workers inside the government that Musk planned to impose artificial intelligence tools on the federal machine. “At present, every hacker in the world knows there are a small number of people new to federal service who hold the keys to access all U.S. government payments, contracts, civil servant personal info and more,” wrote one recently departed federal technology official in draft testimony for lawmakers.
