Criticizing them on the basis of their age instead of their actions and ideology is a red herring that only serves to reinforce existing power.

I agree, instead of just age they really should hammer home these people are so inexperienced they don't have a proven track record of leadership.

But I guess that's the point, they're loyal to Musk

Nor do they have especially good ideas. I think there can be a place in political organization--even in leadership--for people who don't already have a ton of experience, especially if they're working in concert with people who do have the experience. Again, I think the problem is that to the extent that these guys have any vision or values, it's "let's burn it all down and install Peter Thiel as CEO of the government." There's a lot to criticize about those values without even touching anything about these people personally. Their youth is only relevant insofar as it makes them perhaps easier to influence.
