Maybe the DOGE shenanigans will totally fuck up the feds computer systems. That would be vying for #1 on the greatest hits chart.

Monoview - thereтАЩs already been some evidence & reporting so we can probably skip the тАЬmaybe.тАЭ Some government records systems are a Rube Goldberg agglomeration of technologies of various eras back to the тАШ60s. For anyone not familiar with that name, youтАЩre like MuskтАЩs tech team - too young to know how things got cobbled together over decades of underfunding. Thus youтАЩd have a difficult time replicating the required functionality with all the built in exceptions to what the roolz appear to say MOST of the time. Misunderstanding the Social security Numident db was a small example

Literally 100 yrs ago in internet time and I'll bet even folks that experienced it can hardly recall the details. Whereas drone technology is vastly different today and essentially how war is conducted day-to-day basis...so not comparable in any sense.
