Elon Musk’s takeover of federal government infrastructure is ongoing, and at the center of things is a coterie of teen engineers. Most have connections to Musk and at least two have connections to Musk’s longtime associate Peter THIEL, of the analytics firm and government contractor Palantir who has long expressed opposition to democracy. Thiel openly says democracy must be destroyed.

What we're seeing is unprecedented in that you have these actors who are not public officials gaining access to the most sensitive data in government. They have no consent of the governed- we the people. We really have no eyes on what's going on. Zero oversight. This is a hostile takeover of the machinery of governments by the richest man in the world.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it.
