    Ageism right here. There is nothing preventing a 23 year old from holding a security clearance and being as trustworthy as a 50 year old.

      That 23 year old can easily be compromised. I know this because he was, by musk.

        I’m almost old enough to be his father, and also old enough to recognise that you’re a fucking muppet

      So you dont mind a inexperienced 23 years old running the energy dept. You know the one whom handles fissile materials etc…

      And don’t forget he has no security clearance, was not vetted.

        His age and his lack of clearance are entirely separate matters, one is worthy of criticism and the other isn’t.

          What about experience? Can a 23 year old have the experience to understand the gravity of what he is dealing with?

      If you think any 23 year old should be allowed to create backdoors into the systems that control nukes then you are probably too young to properly judge this situation.

        Criticising the installation of back doors is valid, trying to paint me as not old enough is hilarious and more ageism.

        Not only am I old enough, I happen to be a cyber security expert, capable of understanding that a Government department has more than one system, and backdoors to one system does not magically grant access to nukes.

          It’s just funny you crying agism and defending this guy for literally any reason

          We both know why you’re here

          I just don’t defend fascists because I know it leads to nothing good

            He’s not defending anyone though, as I understand it he’s just saying that there are valid reasons for criticising this, but age isn’t among them

              That’s how people defend shitty people they agree with but are too embarrassed to agree with publicly.

              The term is sympathizer.
