Staffers from billionaire Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” had unauthorized access to sensitive information inside the Social Security Administration and may even have used it in coordination with an outside advocacy group, the Trump administration said in court.

The Justice Department said in a Friday “notice of corrections for the record” that the administration had uncovered “communications, use of data, and other actions by the then-SSA DOGE Team that were potentially outside of SSA policy” or in violation of a court order stemming from unions’ efforts to block DOGE from accessing people’s data.

The filing reveals officials falsely stated in the court case that DOGE team members had no access to personal identifying information when they actually did in several specific instances. In one case, DOGE staffers shared with their affiliates in other agencies an email attachment containing approximately a thousand people’s names and addresses.

In another instance, an advocacy group asked two members of the DOGE squad for help analyzing voter rolls the group had acquired with an eye toward overturning election results in certain states. The filing says there’s no evidence the staffers shared data with the group.

Doge was a HUGE data heist of our personal data

5. I've been thinking "class action suit" ever since Musk sank his talons into the SS data.

It's inexcusable, but it was also a two parter.

1). A "quid pro quo" with Trump for the campaign $$$$$$$ and whatever the hell he meant when he "thanked" Musk for "being so good with election system computers"

2). One more example of Trump passive-aggressively punishing every American for the fact that Biden got elected in 2020. Between this and the food / healthcare / social programs cuts, it's clear that Trump's "retribution" was not exclusively reserved for his political rivals and real / imagined enemies.

3. The courts prohibited doge from access to the bldgs

but then ok'ed their access.

6. Pffft, he didn't mis-handle shit. He handled it exactly the way he

wanted to and was paid to: collect the data then sell the data to be used to locate immigrants with ITIN numbers.

7. Musk probably has all our private data or continued access to it.

AI fuel is data. Somebody thinks having the most money ever allows him to rule the world. So far it's working.

[pnwest]

9. And he's sold access to it.

8. So what will the consequences be here? Anyone? Exactly. n/t
