NEW: A DOGE staffer appears to be posting DOGE work on his public GitHub, as of this week. The staffer, Jordan Wick, also created a repository for a Twitter DM-downloading tool just 3 days ago. He posted work on geospatial data in Jan—undersea cables, ports & “critical minerals.”
Last May, Wick’s hyperlocal SanFran-based startup (AccelerateSF) expanded to sell AI efficiency systems to the federal govt, changing to “AccerateX.” They claimed 2 large “transit agency” clients. (DOGEr Anthony Jansco was also behind the group: ) wired.com/story/elon-mus…
On Feb 18, Wick uploaded “org chart_viewer” to his GitHub (), with fields for employee union status, full-time status, location, & a “satisfaction” rating (out of 5). He also uploaded fields to filter searches for depts in the Small Business Adminstration. gist.github.com/Jomanw
On Feb 24, Wick uploaded code related to a search tool that allows viewers to filter employees by office, union status, and whether positions are statutorily mandated. (Project 2025 seeks to dismantle federal govt unions.) Archived: ghostarchive.org/archive/mvDXy
The Twitter DM downloader: From Feb 25-27, Wick uploaded and updated a tool for downloading Twitter DMs. It’s entirely unclear what the hell this is for. Archived: ghostarchive.org/archive/ZSVD5
Again, Wick’s GitHub is currently public. It’s not clear if he knows. He has 10 followers and follows 53 accounts. Here are the people currently following him.
Here are the 53 GitHub accounts Wick follows.

In early January, weeks after DOGE staff—including Wick’s business partner—reportedly began recruiting for DOGE, Wick uploaded repositories for sensitive geospatial data. They include int’l ports, undersea cables, and multiple nodes for mineral deposits.
Last May, Wick and fellow DOGEr Anthony Jansco launched AccerateX, an AI-powered govt efficiency startup converted from their SF-focused Accelerate SF. That month, the site began redirecting to AccelerateX, which sells AI govt operating systems. accelerateSF.org
In Feb 2024, an AccelerateX LLC was incorporated in Whitefish, Montana, a ski resort town. The company’s principal office, however, is in Ft. Lauderdale. The LLC isn’t registered as a foreign entity with the state of Florida. XX
Well, I spelled AccelerateX wrong 2 out of 4 times. To be clear: It is not AccerateX; it is AccelerateX.
@LanceTreyark @HambrechtJason Is he stealing nuclear secrets, like Trump? Zero evidence. But he was — and apparently accidentally or thinking no one would know — revealing non-public information about his work
@clkbsfth @HambrechtJason I don’t care if some people want to shrug that off and be contrarian, that’s their view, but it is objectively newsworthy. These actions are not standard practice in the fucking US govt
@LanceTreyark @HambrechtJason I’m not concluding anything. I am saying what he literally did. Ask career federal employees if this is standard sanctioned behavior. You have your view on how serious it is. I’m not taking a position there. He can explain if he wants. But it is newsworthy.
@clkbsfth @HambrechtJason There is non-public information there — such as the specific metrics like union membership, for instance, which would alarm many federal workers. It also reveals some of their internal process. You’re not an expert on federal administration, your opinion of this is just yours

If you've wondered who's behind the "Amuse" account that sluices misinformation into the MAGA bloodstream & gets boosted by Elon Musk et al as if it's a news source, it's a tech entrepreneur named Alexander Muse. He's listed on the Forbes Business Council. councils.forbes.com/profile/Alexan…
Muse says he got his start raising $15 million from—guess who—George Soros, then sold for big bucks: archive.ph/4hQUy
He most recently co-founded ViewMarket.
Here are Twitter archives, but all you have to do is click the X link on that Forbes page: archive.ph/http://twitter…
This post was less than two years ago. Kash Patel and Pam Bondi may like a word.
NEW: Kash Patel hid his million-dollar Chinese payout from the Senate. Here’s how.
On Jan. 3, Patel filed his financial disclosure to the Office of Government Ethics. He signed it under penalty of perjury. This form reports Patel’s $1M-$5M stake in Elite Depot, Ltd — the Cayman Islands holding company for the $50 billion Chinese fast-fashion megacorp SHEIN.
The OGE approved and signed the disclosure on Jan. 29. But the Senate Judiciary Committee didn’t see it until *after* Patel’s publicly televised confirmation hearing, which took place on Jan. 31. Instead, they had to base that inquiry on another document that Patel gave them...
Kash Patel started two online payment companies with a veteran of offshore financial management. Late last month, they were both folded under a parent company. Patel only disclosed a relationship with one of these three corporations.
I’ve spent the last several days looking into Kash Patel’s mysterious Paytriots, Inc. TL;DR: his co-founder specializes in small offshore banks; his disclosure omits ties to related firms; & these companies mysteriously restructured the day before he signed his ethics agreement
On Jan 27, one day before Patel signed the agreement, a new LLC appeared in Delaware: “Paytriots LLC.” He lists a nearly identical Delaware firm in his agreement: “Paytriots, Inc.” This wasn’t coincidence. Tax records filed last week say they are related—and that raises questions
Been wild seeing people over the last 6 months get confronted with objectively irrefutable contradicting facts, then resolve it by shutting off a major part of their brain. It's not new, but it's a more widespread & far more demented strain—something like a dehumanization reflex.
The Spinal Tap Theory of Polarization: Where can you go when you're already cranked to 10? You turn to an illogical, delusional answer and believe or pretend it's real, or like my boy Nigel here, part of your brain just starts shorting out
But today it feels like contagious psychosis—an established psychological phenomenon. Contradictory facts are perceived as attacks, battle, legacy of the stupid "debate me" culture. This runs parallel with Trump getting more demented, more wrong, more frustrated, and more violent
Patel got millions in equity from this company as payment for being a “consultant,” according to his financial disclosure. Not salary, and apparently no retainer. For doing just 8 months of work. We have no idea what he did. Again, he is nominated to run the FBI.
But that’s still hard to understand. Patel’s disclosure says he struck this payment agreement in November—six months *after* he started working for the company. Did he not get it in writing for millions of dollars worth of work?
November—the month of this apparent arrangement—happens to be the month Trump announced that Patel would replace Christopher Wray.
First, the actual question Patel is asked — keep that in mind — is whether Elite Depot Ltd is a foreign investment. Patel, however — in a written reply — never answers it
Instead, Patel steers his reply away from that question—which would have required him to say it’s Chinese—and instead focuses narrowly on an unrelated issue…
