Today I pity the cowards we must step over as we march into battle. I draw strength from my compatriots, whose hearts are stern and true. We are all afraid, but not afraid to fight. We are weary, but not too weary to stand for what is right. We will not surrender.

Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly
