They empty out the buildings to get unfettered access to the computers.

Does anyone think they are doing also this craziness while doing something 100 times worse that we dont know about?

Would the last person to leave America please turn off the lights

When you go back to work the entire building will be bugged. All your terminals and your personals will be invaded

[frankranjbaran]

Why not? The less educated public, is easier to fool with baseless promises. The poor is too busy working for peanuts to be paying attention to what is happening around them.

How is any of this legal. Where are the adults.

[danpowell]

Anyone else remember when we had movies like “Live Free or Die Hard”, where FICTIONAL characters would wreak havoc in order to steal from us and our government? Now we have Dumb (Vance), Dumber (Don), and the Cyber*uck guy pulling the same stunts. Apparently, other Republicans are in on it or are too pooped to do anything.

Fascism at full speed now… say goodbye

The courts most stop all of this now we are a country of law and orders not of Trump and Musk

[MatthewWeldy]

The Trump/Musk chaos continues. Nothing coherent, and the Republican senators refuse reign these clowns in.

Any destruction of evidence is a criminal offense

[susanroden]

This is unbelievable our administration is only playing until he gets total control. Just awful

[WilsonCorreaJr]

The devil is working overtime and no one sees it

[iamallisonhillary]

What was the reason that the building had to be vacated [now that Thursday has passed]?
