Most of these people appear to come from Musk’s various companies. Wired declined to publish the names of two of the people because of their age. One graduated from high school last summer.

19yo Musk employees are running the government now?

Can't believe I'm arguing against the privacy of a teenager, but if this kid is old enough to commit social murder by ending medical and food aid to millions, he's old enough to be a hated public figure.

if you're old enough to drink, you're old enough to be the target of public ridicule for fucking over hundreds of thousands of federal workers

[-] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I mean, this person is NOT old enough to legally drink in the u.s. The drinking age is 21.

Not saying they don't deserve consequences for being a little Nazi to the top Nazi.

the other person who Wired chose not to name is a 21-year-old who used to work at Palantir

His briefing notes were written in alphabeti spaghetti

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Could be they're 17 since they didn't want to publish their name/age and they just graduated high school?

Either way, sounds right that Musk would be hiring teens.

A bourgeoisie can not break the law. It explicitly exists to protect them from their own consequences at the cost of the public, who the weapons of law are pointed at.

There's a government department called OPM? I assume they were heavily involved in Afghanistan?

[-] [email protected] 39 points 5 months ago

Office of personnel management, mostly runs civilian government workforce.

I don’t understand the point of this comment

[-] [email protected] 39 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

opium production was high under the US influenced government of Afghanistan of the 1970s, decreased 10-fold by 2001 under the Taliban, and then increased 30-fold and more under the US

Is a joke that the department of OPM is the department of opium. Because sounding it the letters O P M sounds like opium

Did they do it deliberately?

Unions are the OPM of the masses.

Can we get my-hero 's face in this article's picture as an emote? It's amazing.

What the fuck's going on with his jaw? Does he have tumors or something? I always assumed this drawing was just shitty, but damn they really nailed the drawn-by-a-kid nature of this motherfucker.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago

I've heard he shows all the signs of HGH use/abuse, and that kind of fucks with the shape of your body

[-] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

I think he had some gender affirming surgery and his face is coping with the changes as best it can

[-] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

It does sort of look like he had his jaw surgically squared off, but that the surgeon went a little overboard and gave him a cinderblock head.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

That’s just how squareheads look.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

On top of what has already been said he's also on Ozempic so this could be a side effect from that

[-] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago

Omg what?! They did something illegal?!

They broke our laws?! They didnt follow the law?! They didnt obey the law?!

What has the world come to!

[-] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

Did he fart or say something stupid? He looks like he’s giggling his tits off and they look pissed off.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

Heaven is no longer a halfpipe :-/

[-] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Why does he look like...

...in the thumbnail? Actually, I think he is a thumbnail.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

(barely) sentient thumbnail

I have family in the federal government and it's pretty bad. The silver lining is a lot of people are suddenly seeing the value of a union.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

It has never been adequately explained to me how Musk is standing behind the other two Nazis but his head is somehow the height of both their torsos. Shouldn't it look smaller or is this some LOTR forced perspective trick that I don't understand?
