    It’s too late in some ways. He’s already had access. The system has been compromised. Any number of bad actors, including Musk himself, could have asked used this situation to insert their own code into the system. We will never again be able to be certain that it is secure.

      I imagine this looks a lot like what people in the cyber security sector do after a breach. Audit all the code, scan all the servers, monitor everything for several months. It’s a ton of work and very expensive, but there are people with lots of real-world experience unhacking systems.

        I can’t read the article because paywall, but I assume access was blocked by some sort of court injunction. So what’ll really happen is that that stuff is how actual-patriot treasury employees will occupy their time until the ruling gets appealed to some MAGA judge and Musk waltzes right back in again.
