What was now possible was ridiculous. Elon Musk, the richest person in the history of the world, became a dog for the attack as President of Donald Trump. Musk and the Ministry of Governmental efficiency (DOGE) has an unprecedented arrival in government data and computer system. Earlier this week, that He came to include Regulations in the Ministry of Energy (DOE), which oversees America’s nuclear weapons. The news sparked enough concern from Energy Minister Chris Wright in the air to Deny Musk and Doge can reach atomic secrets.
It is worrying to be at a stage that a person must make this type of statement, especially because the Trump administration has And according to what was reported about Doug’s arrival levels before. Dog’s situation in the Ministry of Energy raises a really strange possibility: that the false excitement bearing the name Shiba Inu can get actual access to nuclear weapons. Fortunately, despite the constantly expanding Musk authority on government systems, it takes much more than joining the correct office to do so. But in a moment when all kinds of government standards are in a state of flow, it is worth looking at what exactly separates a person like musk from the largest destroyed force on this planet – and what other types of risks can place them.
The United States has one of the most powerful nuclear messages on this planet. It is enough firepower to end all life on Earth several times. The president has the only power to launch these weapons, but Dog is close to its systems. During a press conference on Friday, Trump said that he directed musk and Wajj to Pentagon spending processing; Access to National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) may not be only possible.
However, there is good news: access to any part of the nuclear driving and control of a random laptop addicted on the DOE network is really impossible. An employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is aware of this case, which he spoke to freedom Provided that their identity is not detected, and throw cold water on the idea.
“I cannot see what [Musk] “Maybe he does,” the employee said. “I would like to say it is zero. I can’t understand how that will happen. The last famous words. I also think a firm belief that if you make a foolish evidence, the world will build a better fool.” Nuke’s launch requires material access to the weapon itself. The missiles must convert the keys. The submarine crew must prepare a missile and shoot. The striker must pull the cranes and refine the goals. Without entering musk or its employees in a silo, or climbing to a surreptile striker, or entering a submarine, this will not happen.
“I can’t understand how that will happen. The last famous words.”
Driving and control systems that manage nuclear weapons in America are not connected to the Internet and are running Closed This only exists for the nuclear forces. They are also old. Some of the equipment used has existed since the sixties and seventies. The Pentagon updates the systems, but it is slow. The Air Force only stopped the era of the seventies Eight -inch flexible tablets For some nuclear computers in 2019. “Many of these computer systems are largely ancient systems,” the employee said. “I am more concerned that these systems are falling and do not work in a crisis.”
There is a wrong concept rooted in the popular culture that America’s nuclear weapons will launch if the United States is fired at all. If China, Russia, or North Korea will expel Nocke in the United States, US nuclear weapons will not automatically launch. The president will need to decide revenge and many military officials must follow the matter. “These systems are not really a mechanism the way people worry,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Alex WilrshenA Associate Professor at the Stevens Institute of Technology and an expert in nuclear and nuclear weapons agreed. “I don’t think the current driving and control systems are” hacking. ” freedom. “Frankly, they are not talking enough to that.”
However, Walristin notes that musk has another – it can be said that it is more feasible – to nuclear weapons: Trump. “If Musk is trying to do the” real hostility “of this type, it is better to accomplish it just Trump’s deception in the belief that the nuclear war was imminent, which will be a trivial endeavor of a person from the wealth of musk and the naivety of Trump,” he said.
In order for this to happen, Trump will need to open football: an aluminum supplement issue of aluminum envelope with the leather that follows the president everywhere. From the inside, the communication equipment you put in contact with the National Center for Military Command in the Pentagon. To make a call, Trump will need a coated sheet called biscuit, which contains a long chain of digital code. He is supposed to have this with him at all times. Reading a line in this symbol, which is updated by the National Security Agency every day, confirms the identity of the president when he calls in a nuclear blow. “The president has no release symbols.” The Foreign Ministry employee said, “The president has a blog that befriends his voice.”
So Musk will have to get the biscuits, reach football, and contact a symbol with Trump’s voice. Or persuading Trump to do so. “Less than something like that, I don’t think there is an opportunity,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
But there is one final, the worry is climbing: football and biscuits exist only because people in the past decided to be the best way for the president to request a nuclear launch. Trump can change this process at any time for any reason.
“There are also many detailed regulations completely related to those who can access systems that involve the use of nuclear weapons, with specific requirements for reliability, reliability, etc.,” said Willerstin. “These are all executive regulations, and the president is able to delegate the powers of nuclear use, and certainly the action of previous presidents is mainly,” the use of nuclear weapons by the army under specific circumstances. “
President Eisenhower enabled the leaders of the Pacific Ocean to request the launch of nuclear weapons under Very specific circumstancesFor example, Kennedy and Johnson continued to imitate.
Wilrstein noted that Duji’s employees without permits seem to have access to secret systems “are usually very sensitive.” Other things were once forbidden to be on the table.
The clearest nuclear threat may be the vision of routine environmental cleaning as “wake up”
“If President Trump decides that Elon Musk must obtain nuclear weapons, ask the army to exceed its natural requirements, and the army takes this as legal and executed, so why not?” Wilrshen said. “It is a ridiculous, stupid and self -destructive idea, but this does not distinguish it strongly from other things that are currently happening. It is a suicide bomber by its nature, but other procedures that are currently implemented under Trump’s authority are implemented.”
Football and biscuits are not holy.
But even in the worst case of the worst scenarios, there is no large red button or musk that can push to open a silo and unleash the hormone nuclear. “What the president possesses is power,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This authority is legal by its nature. The president cannot launch nuclear weapons. He does not have the ability. “Dozens of people are distributed, including the submarine crew and missiles mentioned above – which of them can break the chain.
“All these scenarios depend on the orders of the army’s obedience,” said Wilrstein. “I prefer to believe that they will refuse to do so. But this will also be difficult and unusual in itself. It is not a position I want to be in.”
Trump and Musk leaves more likely nuclear disasters than launching a semi -aristocratic missile. The Musk’s Doga crew is not filled with the type of people you want inside the Pentagon or the oppression; Edward Edward Corestine Etisalat to Internet criminals and Web sites operating in Russia. He and others may not get security permits if Washington is working normally.
However, they wander anyway. Each Doge employee is a point of failure in an accurate system that includes information related to the strongest weapons on this planet. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: “There is possible that there will be a lot of employees’ data that will concern a foreign opponent,” said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. China and Russia love information about people with security permits. The background verification processes show information about debt, family relations and other information that may be useful in blackmailing a government official.
Nuclear weapons also produce nuclear waste. The United States still did not clean the waste left by the Manhattan project. People are sick and die, nowIn America, because of the nuclear materials left behind from various nuclear weapons projects in America. Under Biden, Ministry of Energy Plans to spend 8.2 billion dollars, cleaning this nuclear waste in the Cold War era. But the employee is concerned that Dog and Musk will see routine environmental maintenance about nuclear weapons projects as “waking up.”
A large part of the NNSA budget is dedicated to environmental cleaning. “I was able to see them thinking about this as a misleading environment,” the employee said. “I can see them just decide to close all these things.”
The nuclear update began during Obama administration He will play Over the next 25 yearsThe United States is currently appointed to spend nearly $ 2 trillion in the project. New missile silos will dig throughout the country, spread updated nuclear weapons, renew computer systems, and build new nuclear submarines. It is a great task with a tremendous possibility of waste, fraud and ill -treatment. Under any administration, you must check and review. Currently, people who do these scrutations are Musk and Doge.
Musk and Doge have proven that they are not interested in the systems that are placed to preserve safe Americans and protect sensitive data. They are a philosophy “move quickly and break things.” There are laws and regulations in place to keep people like them outside the power halls and away from sensitive nuclear secrets.
“The regulations only work if people take them seriously.” Wilrstein said: “The laws do not work unless they are imposed.” We are on a land not a man now. “
