The top official's departure is the latest in a wave of exits from senior officials whose agencies have come into the crosshairs of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.

Summary

Michelle King, the top Social Security official, resigned after refusing Elon Musk’s request for sensitive records, including Social Security numbers and bank data.

Trump appointed Leland Dudek as acting commissioner and nominated Frank Bisignano for the role.

Nancy Altman of Social Security Works condemned DOGE’s request, warning, “I don’t think you can overstate how serious this breach is.”

DOGE’s similar attempts at the IRS and Treasury have sparked legal challenges over privacy concerns.

    I used to play Battlefield 4 back in the day. If you abandoned your vehicle for any reason the enemy could come in and steal it for the enemy team. This means that instead of having 2vs2 tank fights, you might be able to force 3vs1 or even 4vs0 tank fights. There was an unwritten rule that if you are in a vehicle then you die in that vehicle to avoid that from happening. Your vehicle will not respawn if they are actively being used, even by the enemy. Today it feels like all the “pilots” are abandoning their “vehicles” while our “tickets” get drained.
