“One, a senior adviser to the director, is a 21-year-old whose online resume touts his work for Palantir,” per Wired, while another “who reports directly to Scales, graduated from high school in 2024.” A copy of the latter’s resume include his summer internship with Musk’s Neuralink, alongside jobs as — we assure you that we are not joking — a camp counselor and bike mechanic.
Although both these tykes are ostensibly poised to rip and tear through America’s federal agencies, Wired declined to name them “because of their ages” — a somewhat baffling choice given that both appear to be of legal age. (And if they’re not, well, that’s a much bigger problem.)
At least the 5th article shitting on wired for not naming them…
But no one else has the names besides Wired?
Like, I agree they should disclose the names, but I don’t understand why no one else can find out who these “kids” are.
They’re trying to eat their cake and have it too.
Most “news” sites don’t partake in actual journalism, they just shit out news from other sites. It’s kind of like the human centipede, it’s all shit beyond a single, original source.
How do I get myself into this position to ruin Musk’s job?
Apparently he had an internship at neurolink?
With people like this you just have to get in their orbit and tell them what they want to hear.
Musk has always wanted children to think he’s cool, and he weirdly does a good job of appealing to them. So I guess be as young as possible and tell him his a multi-talented genius and voice of his generation?
Just throw all your integrity out the window basically
High school in the US goes up until you are 20? Or was he behind a couple of years
while another “who reports directly to Scales, graduated from high school in 2024.
So two people.
In the quoted part it only gives the age of the 21 year old, and says when the 19 year old graduated.
Various articles are providing the same info in different ways about them.
I know I’ve wanted younger people in government, but I was hoping for people in their 30’s or 40’s. These kids can’t even rent a car legally. I’ve got a feeling that they’re just puppets.
Speaking as a former puppet: all of Capitol Hill/much of D.C. is run by 20-somethings like this, precisely because they’re easy to manipulate.
Holy shit, I had to check whether this was the onion or not on this one.
I susppect that billionaires prefer young people in certain roles because many young people lack the experience to recognize evil instructions.
Young people are often easier to mold and manipulate. It makes sense.
They are feeding all communications from devices into AI right now, both a massive security breach and they are calculating and creating an enemies list. Watch.
The Republican party was the best thing to ever happen to America’s enemies.
I don’t get it, you people complain a lot about the old people on the government positions
You get young ones and then rip on them? How the hell they gonna get experience?
? How the hell they gonna get experience?
By acting as assistants to professionals old enough to be trusted with real jobs and still young enough to remember where and why and how to do their jobs.
Exactly like all of us non-trust-fund-babies did.
I like how everyone took this personally
If only there was a way to get someone in between too old to function and just old enough to function…mmmmm
Oh well I guess it’s only 80 year olds or 18 year olds and NO OTHER CHOICE.
