"He has been identified as a potential Supreme Court nominee for Donald Trump's second term"

Not just that, word online is that he is "Commentator-3" in the indictment, pretty much the scummiest of the bunch
The next day, on or about March 23, 2024, AFANASYEVA (as "Helena Shudra") privately messaged Founder-1 on Discord asking that "one of our creators record something about [the] Moscow terror attack." Despite public reporting that the foreign terrorist orgenization ISIS had claimed responsibility for the attack, AFANASYEVA requested that U.S. Company-1 blame Ukraine and the United States, writing: "I think we can focus on the Ukraine/U.S. angle. [T|he mainstream media spread fake news that ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack yet ISIS itself never made such statements. All terrorists are now detained while they were heading to the border with Ukraine which makes it even more suspicious why they would want to go to Ukraine to hide." Founder-1 responded that Founder-1 would ask Commentator-3, and, the next day, confirmed that Commentator-3 said ""he's happy to cover it."

After several minutes, two lawyers for the institute emerged from the building and approached the vehicle. What followed was a windowside negotiation: Mr. Musk’s representatives in the car, including a man who identified himself as Mr. Jackson, the State Department official and newly installed agency president, appeared to ask the lawyers to get in. “I mean, I don’t know where you’re going to take us,” Ms. Lin said, declining. When he went to greet the police, O’Brien recounted, “they held the door open and allowed members of DOGE to enter the building, where they were also followed by 10 to 12 police officers, uniformed DC police officers.” Those DOGE personnel, most of whom O’Brien said would not identify themselves, told him, USIP’s general counsel and members of the operations staff to exit the building, he said. More police officers arrived later in the day with lock-picking devices and were seen entering a side door of the building.

They tried. But when DC police arrived, they let DOGE in and kicked the USIP people out.

Insanity
Lin said that the U.S. Institute for Peace called the D.C. police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the D.C. police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute's officials. Before the D.C. police arrived, the Musk team had tried for hours to enter the building. They attempted to enter on Friday, but that effort was unsuccessful.

NYT: At least a half dozen cars have pulled up to the offices of the Institute of Peace in the past hour. Some are parked on the sidewalk and blocking the parking garage. We can see officials walking around and gesturing inside the building. There is new signage posted on the doors that says “no trespassing” and a misspelled message that the building is “closed until futhr notice.”

Aishvarya Kavi and Eric Lee March 17, 2025, 3:46 p.m. ET50 minutes ago Aishvarya Kavi and Eric LeeReporting from Washington Employees of the Department of Government Efficiency are inside the Washington offices of the United States Institute of Peace, a representative of the organization said, just days after the agency’s representatives failed to gain access to the building on Friday. Two of the men were the same DOGE officials who, with the assistance of federal marshals, forced entry into another small government office, the U.S. African Development Foundation, earlier this month. They did not respond to shouted questions.

Now this should ring even more alarm bells www.usip.org/press/2025/0...
USIP website: "On the afternoon of Friday, March 14, 2025, several members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), arrived at the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) unannounced HIGHLIGHT accompanied by two FBI agents. END HIGHLIGHT They were met at the door by the Institute’s outside counsel who informed them of USIP’s private and independent status as a non-executive branch agency. Following that discussion, the DOGE representatives departed."

Since DOGE was turned away, my guess is that they are trying to prevent anyone from entering/exiting the building to be intercepted, 'interviewed' etc. Or even to make sure there's no lower situated employee to grant them access (at USADF the DOGE goons tried impersonating employees)

Perhaps Dietrich Bonhoeffer's theory of 'stupidity' is a good lens here, which he developed observing fellow Germans in the Third Reich nsjonline.com/article/2021...
It is a particular form of the impact of historical circumstances on human beings, a psychological concomitant of certain external conditions. Upon closer observation, it becomes apparent that every strong upsurge of power in the public sphere, be it of a political or of a religious nature, infects a large part of humankind with stupidity. The fact that the stupid person is often stubborn must not blind us to the fact that he is not independent. In conversation with him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with a person, but with slogans, catchwords and the like that have taken possession of him. He is under a spell, blinded, misused, and abused in his very being. Having thus become a mindless tool, the stupid person will also be capable of any evil and at the same time incapable of seeing that it is evil. This is where the danger of diabolical misuse lurks, for it is this that can once and for all destroy human beings.
