Let’s get this straight, he witnessed DOGE access a system they claim to never have accessed and then let the Russians in. Clearly DOGE accessed and if they were not directly colluding with Russia, their security is so bad that the Russians just follow them around sniffing to see what they can access.
Also, even though it is all made up Musk personally lied and discredited him. Even though it wasn’t real he received a threatening note on his home door and his brake lines were later cut in his driveway.
Clearly this guy is telling the an inconvenient truth that is worth killing him over. We all knew DOGE was bad and here is the smoking gun. Poor guy is getting his life ruined because he did his job. That is super fucked up.
he’s the latest example of plenty of people who tried doing the same thing in our history.
Wired, that’s not a brake line. At least, it’s not for the primary brake system. At best that could potentially be a parking brake cable.
“As he approached a stop sign at an intersection, his car wouldn’t slow down. He ran off the road and into the sign.”
I read the article. I am looking at the picture they used for the article.
For clarity, your parking brake is often (not always especially not on newer cars - especially with the advent of electronic parking brakes) a braided cable.
Your regular car brakes (attached to your brake pedal) are a hydraulically actuated system so the brake lines that were cut were actual brake hoses filled with fluid, not a brake cable.
This is what a cut brake line looks like:
Yeah I think thats stock or more likely ai in this day and age. As for what happened:
“Five days after the NPR story went live, on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, Berulis got in his car to drive to Maryland to make a last-minute visit to his uncle, opting to take local roads instead of the major highway nearby. Within about five minutes of leaving his house, Berulis realized something was wrong. As he approached a stop sign at an intersection, his car wouldn’t slow down. He ran off the road and into the sign. When he examined his car, he found something that terrified him: His brake lines had been cut.”
Yeah. I’m not disputing what’s in the article. I’m pointing out that the picture they used is wrong to the context of what is reported in the article.
