Was Elon even sworn in into any departament head role? How is he even doing anything there? Sorry for possibly stupid question but everyone else is being interrogated and voted on during confirmation hearings, right?
-
Yeah but the rules don't matter any more.

Traditionally joining a gang or mafia requires you to commit crime that can be used to control you later on. There are rules, some unwritten and unspoken ones are now brought to the light, that’s all. This also means this overstepping of boundaries can be used against Musk once he falls out of favour.

He's basically going around telling people what is happening, and to take it up with Trump if it's a problem. Then those people are dismissed. That's the extent of his authority.

The greatest and most vital of government secrets are safe. Because no chance any of those kids understand fortran or cobol.
They'll just delete it rather than try to understand or modify it. But small victories.

It will come back as an electron react app that uses web sockets to synchronise embedded sqlite databases

Dude don't tell them!!

That is the beautiful part of it. It is a fundamental brain block in like 99.999999% of "The Children".
In an old life I had to deal with this. Maybe one in every hundred interns we had realized how similar matlab and fortran were. The rest just immediately locked down because it wasn't python or, in rare cases, C++.

COBOL the hard language to die for

I think the term is Nazi Collaborator.

'So this feels like a hostile takeover of the machinery of governments by the richest man in the world', they call that a coup.

As long as he runs the country like he played path of exile 2. Meaning he payed someone at the top to make him the best account in the world and then said look how good i am at the game XD

There is never a shortage of young people needing to pay back student loans
-
There's that, but there are also good things about one's brain still developing in that age.
Still, all this weirdly enough resembles early Soviet Russia, "How the steel was forged" and all that mood, about young people conquering every obstacle with their spirit. Not Nazis. Doesn't work well anyway.

They will be the scapegoat if a controversy related to Elon arises.

They are fucking losers, saved you a click.

"Merit-based" hiring.

Use 12ft.io if you are getting paywalled.

Or if you use firefox: use reading mode and refresh once in reading mode

Doesn't matter. In the situation trump where to ever leave office he will make a blanket pardon so broad anyone is free to do anything in his name till then.
