The appointment of Tesla alum Thomas Shedd as director of the Technology Transformation Services (TTS) has prompted significant internal upheaval. Unidentified individuals, lacking official government credentials, have been conducting reviews of TTS code and projects, raising concerns about data security and potential conflicts of interest.
