Summary

Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old member of Elon Musk’s DOGE team, was previously fired from Path Network for leaking proprietary information.

Online messages reveal he boasted of retaining access to Path’s systems and sought hacking tools. Investigators have tracked his activity in cybercrime forums, including links to denial-of-service attacks.

His DOGE role involves gathering government data, raising security concerns. Senator Ron Wyden criticized DOGE’s access to sensitive systems.

The Trump administration has not disclosed vetting procedures, despite growing scrutiny over DOGE hires and security clearances.

      Not the deflation people thought they voted for!

      The huge sucking sound of air following the electrons of the whole economy leaving via a shell script.

      Just like how a cabinet full of billionaires won’t use the government to enrich themselves, because they already have enough money.

          If I was a drug addicted Nazi worth half a trillion dollars, I wouldn’t bother with having someone try to source drugs for me. I would just hire a chemist to make them for me tailor made to my liking.
