It is also Musk's outlaw persona and crack team that are forcing their way. They are flagrantly denying constitutional and congressional law as if on purpose. Denial and subscription to a ruthlessly autocratic worldview grants them access in the short-term, and their coding and manipulation may have some very negative repercussions even after they are legally removed. It's very sticky and grey right now, with baked-in obstruction. Reports are also that even team Trump can't really control them. Which makes public outcry all the more urgent.
No Musk still should not get the тАЬkeysтАЭ in the manner that he has. Most of Trump's executive orders for starters are illegal and access to computer systems is not directly in the power of the President to hand over. We have Congress and an oversight committee in Congress to keep an eye on our security. Musk has put our country in a less secure positon by illegally taking down USAID. He dose not legally have the keys. This is a coup.
I agree completely, Susan, though it seems you are replying to Lynell's observation. Unfortunately, Musk is doing much more than targeting USAID to weaken the US vis a vis foreign adversaries. Even the back doors in coding his lackeys have been instructed to leave open up US vulnerability, and he is targeting more agencies and departments. It needs to be stopped in the courts, but other developments like Bondi disbanding FBI Foreign Influence Task Force today, and the nomination of Gabbard look poorly for future security.
We have to remember that the agencies are now headed by Trump people. So, that's why Musk gets the keys.
