    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.

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

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