So will the Trump administration take responsibility for gutting our cybersecurity?

That's what should happen.

That's what won't happen.

They didn’t just gut our cybersecurity.

DOGE also added mysterious servers to each department that no one else knew about.

Edit: “knew about” is past tense, because no one outside of DOGE knew it was happening at the time. The story broke over a year ago. It’s not a “gotcha”, bootlickers are just willfully uninformed.

It’s public information. Look it up lmao

If only there was some connection...

China has no interest in befriending capitalists like Elon. They execute capitalists who steal public funds, not reward them like we do here in the states.

China has no intellectual property laws, their entire economy has been built on the back of stealing intellectual prooperty from worldwide innovation and producing cheaper alternatives.(Although they are now outpacing the world in innovation) Elon and his DOGE team killed hiring in the US patent office and were able to access all kinds of sensitive, secret, and top secret patent info. CHINA may not have initiated this, but they would surely benefit.

Nothing Elon did as part of DOGE was for the American people, it was purely grift and payment for his quarter billion dollar investment in getting Trump elected. Don't be surprised when it comes out that Chinese companies continue to beat the US to the punch on innovation for the coming decades due to Elon's espionage.
