    And one who does is trying to cash in on his new job by charging people to read his Substack entry which boast, “Why DOGE: Why I gave up a seven-figure salary to save America.”

    LOL

      Yeah maybe if he sums up all of his pre-tax total comp for each year he worked there, he might barely reach a seven figure number lmao

    Some opportunistic idiots who seemingly don’t have anything to lose and can be ditched by Elon as scapegoats if the need arises. I almost sure he groomed them with the myth of him being self-made billionaire and provided them a fabulous opportunity to join him. I’m almost sure they aren’t kids anymore, but also that they don’t know how to crime and that they need a plan B. In the musical chairs game they are likely to fall on their asses once the music stops.

      DEI, all of them. They look like being assigned male at birth, but have obviously all transitioned into massive cunts.

        Kids? They can vote. I understand that there’s a gradient of maturity, but we can’t give folks a pass just cause they’re young.

      Why would that be hard to imagine?

      Their brains literally aren’t fully formed yet. And the prefeontal cortex is the last to develop.

      Younger people will always trend towards “anti establishment” because of it, which makes a political landscape incredibly dangerous when the only two options only care about the wealthy.

      The best way to prevent fascism is a pro worker socially progressive party.

      Neoliberals stole that from us, then made America play Russian roulette 3x in a row with trump as the gun, and we lost twice.

        Your brain works fine when you’re under 25 (no matter how ‘inconvenient’ this fact may be)

        In-lieu of the young guys working on Musk’s behalf, the old “Your brain isn’t fully developed until your 25 claim” has emerged yet again

        Here’s why it’s BS

          I think that was a good read. I think the problem I have is that if I look back at my 20 year old self or my 23-year-old self, I see someone that was extremely self assured but had almost 0 real world experience or context for decision-making about very important things.

          I think it is disingenuous to absolve them of all blame, but I don’t think it’s inappropriate to say that it’s not surprising that they are young men given how easy it would be for someone who should be a role model to influence them. Elon Musk’s team is young so he can control them

            That feeling never goes away. I’m 50 and consider the 40yo me to have lacked plenty.

            Any line thus becomes quite arbitrary. The point is that there really isn’t anything that supports the trope about “not grown until 25”.

        You should still have a decent idea of right from wrong.

        I wasn’t a perfect adult at that age but I wouldn’t have worked unelected for a billionaire to dismantle a government.

          Lots of people don’t understand that, and it has terrible consequences

    Musk’s team of youngsters, as first reported by WIRED on Sunday, is Akash Bobba, 21, a student at the University of California, Berkeley; Edward Coristine, 19, a student at Northeastern University in Boston; and Ethan Shaotran, 22, who said in September he was a senior at Harvard.

    The ones who actually have degrees, or at least have left college, are: Luke Farritor, 23, who attended the University of Nebraska without graduating; Gautier Cole Killian, a 24-year-old who attended McGill University; and Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old who attended Berkeley;

      The presidential diaper baby is a felon, and the people in charge of government don’t even have degrees

      Remember that next time an entry level job requires a master’s, background check, and 5 years experience

      The records they’ve illegally accessed and tampered with are protected by numerous federal laws. Some of these carry the death penalty. These kids could literally end up hanging for this.
