> The best-known member of Elon Musk's U.S. DOGE Service team of technologists once provided support to a cybercrime gang that bragged about trafficking in stolen data and cyberstalking an FBI agent, according to digital records reviewed by Reuters.

It's not unusual to give an otherwise-qualified person limited access to certain data while their background checks are completed.

If there is no support for it, and if it is baseless, that is entirely fine.

Do you need a source on that claim as well?

There's a reason Musk especially kept dodging trying to get proper clearance. He isn't even fully cleared to see all aspects of SpaceX. Some of his employees he brought in probably aren't better off.

Granted, the sample size is low, but it doesn't look likely the rest of the gang would be any different.

Go gaslight somewhere else.
