The age emphasizes the absurdist, incompetent slapdash nature of the whole thing. It's not a grizzled expert aiding a coup, it's some kid fucking around.
Show me one.
I think it's the dumbest, high confidence kids(with big egos) in the room who agree to do shit like this.
Yes, some teenagers and 25 year olds are capable, and probably do in fact, write system-critical code
But having people who previously had nothing to do with the government, take over a federal system, with seemingly no experience managing those types of systems before, is very alarming
I really do care that the kid is writing code because Bessent told senior Republicans in a closed-door meeting Musk et al only have read access and that through another person (Krause). If this kid is writing code, he's doing so without legal authority. This isn't a coup, it's espionage.
That's just play on words at this time
Clearly the federal government has been compromised by private citizens with unclear, or secret, affiliations to the president and his associates
Congress and the courts seem unable to repel the attack so far
