Ignorance is not a defence. Unwilling accomplices are still accomplices. But nothing will happen to them. The reign of the oligarchy is bearing down fast.


I'm confused, are they Russian agents or wannabe oligopolists? Presumably it can't be both, as being part of the American oligopoly in an America that is subservient to Russia seems hardly worthwhile.


Nobody mentioned about subservience, simply incompetance, if contractor X is given a DOGE superuser account, while also having his entire network compromised, there is some responsibility on you for that.

My oligarchy comment stems from the fact that one of the largest private company owners in the US is seemingly allowed to take all of this potentially rival information at will, without even having to inform anyone what exactly they want to look at.

All because he's friends with the president, to me thats an oligarchy.


This entire subthread is about Musk et all "work for Moscow".

I guess I was also taking issue with your assertion that "unwitting accomplices are still accomplices", as that is generally not how it is viewed by courts of law or reasonable people.


Hmm, I’m not going to say musk is working with Russia or not, that’s a whole political thing that’s all opinion based until there are facts of course, but as for your view of the court system, INAL but there is “Federal Tort Act” that says you can sue the government for negligence but to be honest you’re probably right, nothing will happen anyway.
