Looking at [making up a reason for] how this happened
Is how I read that. Probably with the goal to throw the journalist in a camp.
‘The best technical minds’, It happened because they are morons.
Yeah, do we really need a deep dive for RCA here!? It’s pretty obvious that incompetent people behaved incompetently.
Yes and also the biggest balls president musk and governor krasnov have ever seen. And his dick almost as big as Arnold Palmer’s
the ones that wont be hirable any reputable employer in tech
Waltz admitted to doing it. They admitted to using a fucking app over established communications to avoid being on the record. That’s your investigation. Luckily it’s so simple I bet even musks teenagers could figure it out.
Yeah, but they’re not being paid to uncover that particular truth. Watch them somehow lock up the journalist over this.

January 20, 2025, Inauguration Day. Trump releases a statement on his top priorities for his presidency:

President Trump’s America First Priorities
DRAIN THE SWAMP
President Trump is taking swift action to end the weaponization of government against political rivals and ordering all document retention as required by law.
March 11, 2025. Jeffrey Goldberg receives chat group invitation for Cabinet-level officials for planning attack on Yemen.
I see that top Trump priorities on swamp-draining lasted — assuming, perhaps generously, that this was the first such incident with Signal — almost seven weeks.
Well, okay. I don’t know about the weaponization of government against political rivals. I seem to recall what looked like rather a lot of that, actually. But at least the document retention.
Luckily it’s so simple I bet even musks teenagers could figure it out.
You are giving Musky’s teenagers way too much credit.
You don’t need a technical mind to find an error with terminally stupid and incompetent users.
But you might need one to create a way of covering up that incompetence
“You’ve been added by Michael Waltz”
Even if we pretend Musk and his group of children aren’t incompetent, this isn’t hard.
Holy shit this isn’t a technical problem it’s a problem of them all blatantly ignoring any and all security standards. "Oh this Signal thing says it is encrypted, let’s use that. Hey everyone download this app off the app store and we will discuss bombing another country on it.’
“How did a Trump-hating editor of The Atlantic end up on your Signal chat?” Laura Ingraham asked.
“You know, Laura, I’m not a conspiracy theorist,” Waltz replied. “But of all the people out there, somehow this guy who has lied about the president, who has lied to Gold Star families, lied to their attorneys, and gone to Russia hoax, gone to all kinds of lengths to lie and smear the president of the United States and he’s the one that somehow gets on somebody’s contact and then gets sucked into this group.”
Honestly, I really hope that the next administration, regardless of which party it is, dispenses with the constant and unending stream of bullshit. I really don’t want this sort of thing to become established as the new normal.
It’s not even over a significant issue here; it seems like an insane thing to use credibility on. Like, Waltz could say “I clicked on the wrong person”, and I don’t think that anyone is going to wig out about it. The fact that they were on Signal in the first place, not to mention using poor operational security while on it is the much more concerning issue, but he’s not denying that.
The firehose of horseshit has been a hallmark of conservatives everywhere for like 2 decades. It’s already their normal.
It’s a feature, not a bug.
Unfortunately the people he is trying to convince are too stupid to think critically or even think logically about the root cause of the issue. He can mask his own incompetence through personal attacks and the idiotic brain-washed base will eat it up, one clip at a time.
Given the fact that the editor in chief of The Atlantic was added to the chat by Mike Waltz, I’m going to suggest that any money DOGE spends trying to figure this out is waste, fraud, and/or abuse, and the best way for DOGE to fight that is to dismantle itself.
Also imprison these lawbreaking buffoons.
Nah, DOGE is going to discover that The Atlantic is at fault for this somehow, and have all its management arrested.
We live in the stupidest timeline.
Given that DOGE has already wasted $500 billion…I didn’t think they’ll care
“How did this happen!?”
Your leaders are absolute fucking morons, that’s how. There really isn’t anything to actually investigate here.
Waltz said not to worry because Elon Musk is on the case
🤣 Oh God we’re so screwed…
The better technical mind would’ve avoided the security leak to begin with.
Best Technical Mids <> Elon Musk
Pick one.
Elon Musk Is Probing Major Security Leak: ‘We Have the Best Technical Minds Looking at How This Happened’
That’s right on the level of “True is False” on the Oxymoron scale.
I think what they mean is that, technically, Musk has a mind.
