This is an astoundingly stupid idea. What other program delivers more value for everyone who develops or uses technology than the CVE program?

What is the motive here? It seems like such a stupendously moronic move and so precisely targeted that there must be a motive. Make life easier for Russian hackers?

Privatization probably.

I love seeing what journalists pay artists to imagine the inside of a computer looks like. 'Well gosh it sure is lucky that big ol' security bug was right there in the middle and all highlighted like that or we never would've found it! Beep boop I am a computer!'

Absolutely inane, fuck Trump and Musk.
