Most of this is from FedScope:
But the part Musk was not suppose to unveil:
>> Musk can’t claim he wasn’t aware that the National Reconnaissance Office is one of the nation’s intelligence agencies. His company, SpaceX, has a $1.8 billion contract with NRO to build hundreds of spy satellites.

Is that a crime?
I imagine it's a crime if you have a security clearance. But as far as I'm aware these guys never promised not to give away classified information.
Of course they can be pardoned, and they don't even need a pardon if the Justice Department decides not to prosecute. But just as a matter of idle curiosity, has any law actually be violated?

Specifically about the NRO:
> The website states in tiny print at the bottom that its database excludes information from U.S. intelligence agencies.
> But an easy search shows that DOGE’s database provides details on the National Reconnaissance Office, the federal agency that designs, builds and maintains U.S. intelligence satellites. Not only are NRO’s budgets and head counts classified, but the prospect of Musk’s tech team meddling in sensitive personnel information is setting off alarms for some in the intelligence community.
The NRO runs the US's spy satellites:

russians are wining the cold war. They have successfully compromised US from within.

No waste and fraud so far, but making good progress in leaking of classified info. It’s just another unspeakable horror for people who decided to help USA and will be killed by adversaries as a result...

the site would be better if the back button worked.
Does anyone know if there's non-classified data, like something similar that already exists?
Would be interesting to see (e.g. where all the contract money is, etc)

So DOGE now has access to data that Congress can't even see?

Wow, it's actually a great website.
Oh god, this is like when that one type of executive insists that you give full database access and a firewall exception so that some SaaS report-builder tool will let them "generate insights" and "demonstrate value".
