The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk's Government Takeover

Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

The engineers are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. None have responded to requests for comment from WIRED. Representatives from OPM, GSA, and DOGE did not respond to requests for comment.

1. Musk and his young tech lackeys are not government employees and have no immunity from civil actions.

Musk should be sued into oblivion. Sign me up as a plaintiff in the first huge class-action lawsuit filed.

4. Musk doesn't care who in the hoi polloi live or die -

We're beneath him. And he's got his Ketamine and lawyers to to protect his sensibilities.
These young men, however...
Right now, to them it's just a video game or intellectual exercise.
Wait until people start going after them when loved ones die.
Wait until all those the "useless" people wasting Treasury money - like vet retirees or VA patients, many of whom have access to firearms and tactical skills, decide that since they have nothing left to lose, they might take some of the pencil neck geeks who decided No Lives Matter out with them.
Not a threat, just an observation from history. During the Guilded Age, quite a few wanna be Robber Barons and their sycophants ended up bombed or ambushed.
No security in the world can stop someone with nothing left to lose if that person is smart enough to make a plan. When the Poor have nothing else to eat, they will eat the Rich.
And that's just the way it goes. For an Oligarchy to be safe, for any length of time, they have to pretty much depopulate this country. The Billionaires don't care, but pretty soon their cult followers and security personnel will as near relatives and friends are disposed of for not being loyal or compliant.

5. List of what's being hacked

Trying to paraphrase what the Musk incels have breached to date (Feb 3 2025)

The incels have taken control of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and General Services Administration (GSA), and have gained access to the Treasury Department’s payment system, exposing a vast range of sensitive information about millions of citizens.

The Musk incels hacked into US Agency for International Development. USAID security officials thwarted the attempt. The security officials were subsequently put on leave.

The Associated Press reported that Musk's incels accessed classified material.
