Video A Giant Inflatable Elon Musk appeared in Times Square in NY this morning. The workers said they have no idea who owns it, they were just paid to put it up.

Watch them pretend that they know nothing about his DOGE / infiltrating and messing with key government infrastructure come election season.
It's wild how all of that happened and then *poof*, they dropped it like a hot potato. We still have no idea as to the scope of the compromise, or exactly what data was stolen.
In normal times that totally fucking insane episode would have been enough to destroy several careers, multiple times over.
My fucking god, if it was Obama that gave a group of teenage miscreants the keys to the kingdom and 'carte blanche' to do whatever felt good - we'd still be in wall-to-wall news coverage of talking heads debating whether or not they really deserve the death penalty.

u/JohnGillnitz Jun 11 '26
exactly what data was stolen
We have an idea. The DOGE script kiddies had the firewalls opened up so they could move everything to a cloud hosted in China. IP addresses from federal systems like Los Alamos started showing up on Chinese search engines. Clearly they had no idea that using a Chinese cloud provider means everything they put there is now owned by the Chinese government.
The answer, in short, is everything.6

To say that it was made with loving attention to detail isn’t quite the right way to put it, but it was. They took that order seriously and I suspect agreed completely with the political sentiment.

u/phoenix1984 Jun 11 '26
There’s serious money behind this. I get the desire for secrecy, the Musk/MAGA crowd are not known for handling criticism nonviolently. My gut says this is at least partially funded by Open AI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, or Amazon. Amazon and the Bezos ecosystem in particular seem to be making a play to take out Musk’s businesses.
To me, this is a “let them fight” scenario. Just because I agree with what this installation is saying doesn’t mean I fully support the people putting it on.

u/CautionarySnail Jun 11 '26

It's an obvious tactic.
1) Keep more women at home having babies to groom more children.
2) Encourage less education, take away cheap/ easy access to healthcare, increase the wealth gap, and reduce their rights to keep them in their place with less recourse.
3) Keep them fanatical with a strong belief in authority whether that's religion or political.
4) Scream loudly about how pedophiles are terrible and make a great showing that you're definitely not one, so when accusations inevitably hit, your followers don't believe them.

They see children as commodities. To use as they please. In the case of making babies this means future organ (and other forms of) donors. The more babies, the more likely one of them could end up saving your life with a transplant someday. This is also why Nick Cannon is doing it

u/Ned_Flanders__666 Jun 11 '26
Nick Cannon admitted that?
Extremely weird to think "hmm, I should have like 19 kids so there's more fresh organs in the world that can be bought and sold by the medical industry".
That's some Frankenstein shit, really. Are they humans? Nope, they're little organ makers.

I unfortunately live in a red state controlled by MAGA that passed a law requiring you to show ID to enter porn sites to “protect the kids” (ironic considering they unwaveringly support a kid diddler president), and some of those porn sites, the major ones, are protesting that law by not complying.
So it’s either I use Twitter or a VPN.

I still find it crazy that Musk was able to pressure all the big Index Funds to buy into his SpaceX IPO without the proper waiting period that normally applies to all new public companies. He set SpaceX value for IPO at over 2x what most people think it's actually worth. So the Index Funds will be forced to buy $20 billion of his shares at starting price. It's all a big scam and it seems like too many rich people are in on it
