Link: How close is Elon Musk to controlling a nuclear weapon?

Elon Musk has gained extensive control over government systems, including those at the Department of Energy, which manages nuclear weapons. This development is concerning given past misinformation about his access levels.

Secretary of Energy Chris Wright assured the public that Musk does not have access to nuclear secrets. However, the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) involvement in nuclear systems remains troubling.

Physical measures prevent unauthorized nuclear launch; keys must be turned, and specific protocols followed by military personnel. Despite conspiracy theories, nuclear weapons systems are not connected to the internet and require multiple authorizations.

Experts suggest the real risk could stem from Musk potentially exploiting President Trump’s authority and gullibility regarding a nuclear threat. This could lead to dangerous misunderstandings or unauthorized actions.

DOGE's staff, including individuals with questionable backgrounds, now have disturbing levels of access to critical and sensitive areas. This raises significant concerns about the integrity of governmental oversight and nuclear security procedures.

The situation underscores the necessity for stringent adherence to security protocols and the law, especially in politically tumultuous times. It is essential to remember that regulations need rigorous enforcement to maintain national and global safety.
