Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
Dan Berulis, an IT staffer at the NLRB, filed a whistleblower complaint alleging that DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), orchestrated by Elon Musk, compromised agency data and potentially exfiltrated it, with suspicious login attempts from a Russian IP address shortly after DOGE accessed the data. After Berulis went public with his claims, Musk boosted a post calling them false, and shortly thereafter, Berulis' brake lines were cut. He is now suing for defamation.
