The publication of restricted data sent members of the Defense Department “scrambling,” one inside source said.

Summary

Elon Musk’s DOGE website mistakenly published classified intelligence data, including personnel and budget details for the National Reconnaissance Office.

The breach sent Defense Department officials scrambling, as the NRO’s headcount and budget are typically classified. Intelligence aides confirmed the leak is problematic under current security standards.

Concerns have also been raised about DOGE’s inexperienced staff. The White House has not commented, and the site was later hacked.

      Because the people who objected to them not having the clearance to view the data were put on leave.

      [Musk’s] comments come after the administration placed two top security chiefs at USAID on leave after they refused to turn over classified material in restricted areas to Musk’s government-inspection teams, a current and a former U.S. official told The Associated Press on Sunday

        Jesus fucking Christ.

        Does anybody else feel like we’re all nearing a collective psychotic break? Like, am I crazy, or is everything suddenly fucking crazy?
