Here are some basic questions that the media & Congress could ask:
Can public & private businesses trust Musk with their data?
How many of the officials accessing sensitive data have security clearance?
Do older adults know that Elon Musk now controls payment of their Social Security & Medicare?
Follow the Money, But Also the Data The usual adage in these things is to follow the money, and see who benefits. But we should also watch for control over data. For tech bros, data is the means of control. At last count, Musk employees1 have control over sensitive student aid data, small business administration data, federal employee data (including data from job applicants), social security and tax refund data, and are seeking data from the Department of Labor (think the Bureau of Labor Statistics), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Data (weather data). At the same time that they are hoovering up this data, public data sources are being shut down.

Tell that to my former employee who had swine flu. She was in a coma for 5 months, lost both legs below the knee & all her fingers.
