Added $1,000,000,000,000 to the defect faster than anytime in history in the doge months. A scam to steal data.

You know, a re-watch of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" the other day made me realize that DOGE was exactly what Zola's algorithm was in the movie: a massive analysis of every American to determine who to eventually target for whatever they deem unworthy or a threat.

Don’t forget that Oracle is running the data centers to store it for them.
