We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we’re grateful to the agents and prosecutors who moved quickly to make an arrest. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing and we will continue to support their work.

At this time, we have no indications of this individual inappropriately accessing or exfiltrating model weights, source code, or customer data. The employee was terminated.

We take protecting our technology, data, and people seriously, and as a matter of national importance. Our security program is designed to protect against a wide range of threat actors, from insider risks to cybercriminals to nation states, and this case is an example of how AI can help address these sophisticated security threats.

People keep coming back to the question of why (understandably), but it's irrelevant. Whatever the reason, Trump is absolutely immovable on his support for Putin and his desire to "get along" with Russia. It's been that way before his first term in office. It's not going to change.

The one in which Magistrate Judge Fitzpatrick joins the #WITAOD cult, finding Musk was head of DOGE on Feb. 11 — a date when, per the government’s position in other litigation, no one formally held that role. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
vi. February 11, 2025, Statement by Flon Musk
On February 11, 2025, Elon Musk, a Special Government Employee and head of DOGE
retweeted on X a photo of Ms. Comans along with the statement, "FEMA CFO Mary Comans was just fired for funneling $58M to illegal migrant hotels in Manhattan" and he called it a "criminal
action." The Government concedes and the Court finds that other than the fact that Ms. Comans
had been fired, the post by Mr. Musk was entirely false. The Government further concedes and the
Court further finds that Mr. Musk and officials at FEMA and DHS knew this information was false
at the time it was posted. Based on the unchallenged facts and the fact that Mr. Musk was the head

of DOGE, he knew or should have known that any payments made to state or local governments through a FEMA grant in February 2025 were approved by his subordinates. Finally, the fact that Mr. Musk posted a picture of Ms. Comans to his millions of followers while falsely characterizing
her government service as a "criminal action" was clearly intended to make her afraid. Posting
Ms. Comans' picture served no legitimate governmental interest and was little more than state
sanctioned intimidation.

WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."
In conducting this hearing, the Court is not called upon to resolve factual disputes between
the parties. The facts set forth in this Memorandum Opinion and Order were proposed by the
Plaintiff, unobjected to by the Government, and then deemed admitted by the Court. Dkts. 74, 75,
77.2 These facts establish that high-ranking government officials, including then Secretary of DHS
Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, engaged in a coordinated public relations campaign to impugn the
personal and professional integrity of Ms. Comans. For reasons unfathomable to this Court,
officials chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an
impeccable record of public service. In short, Ms. Comans was professionally targeted and
personally attacked by government officials for no legitimate reason. The attacks against Ms.
Comans were based entirely on false information, and many government officials knew the
accusations were untrue at the time they were made. With no regard for the truth and with no
consideration for the personal and professional effect on Ms. Comans, government officials
exploited their access to mass media outlets to broadcast false information. These false
statements reached hundreds of millions of people. The purpose of this Order is, to the best of
this Court’s ability, to correct the public record and establish as a matter of law that the
statements made by these officials about Ms. Comans were objectively and demonstrably false.
