The Rules

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Oooh that's juicy. I wonder how many holes they left in the important production systems that they've been touching.

I also wonder, with how progressive and dissenting American programmers and cybersec experts are, if our l33t h4x0r sk1llz could be turned against DOGE?

Not suggesting anything wildly destructive, just some friendly grey-hat trolling to slow them down and expose their flaws. Think of it as a complimentary pen-test.

Part of me also thinks they are hoping some people will slip in some "proof" of fraud somewhere, like how people "proved" the COVID vaccine was killing people via VAERS.

What can hurt Musk? These kids are nobodies, his co-conspirators all depend on his will, and the only thing I suspect is probable to crush him is either a lone gunner or an oil\tech barron who got too pissed of from his plans ruining their business prospects.
