Especially if it's bunch of kids hand-picked by a known lunatic to implement his loony schemes. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
Musk’s team of youngsters, as first reported by WIRED on Sunday, is Akash Bobba, 21, a student at the University of California, Berkeley; Edward Coristine, 19, a student at Northeastern University in Boston; and Ethan Shaotran, 22, who said in September he was a senior at Harvard.
The ones who actually have degrees, or at least have left college, are: Luke Farritor, 23, who attended the University of Nebraska without graduating; Gautier Cole Killian, a 24-year-old who attended McGill University; and Gavin Kliger, a 25-year-old who attended Berkeley;
But of course those were all chosen on account of talent and not for loyalty to the Führer.
Downvoting this as the article has no mentions about leaks.
While I absolutely agree this is a huge issue for privacy, let's make sure we're keeping the facts straight.
I don’t like musk or what he is doing, but I don’t see any mention of OPM data being leaked?
I did an, admittedly brief, search and couldn’t find anything saying the data HAD been leaked.
Is there potential? Yes
Is this a bad practice? Definitely.
Would I hire any engineer who thought changing prod of a complex system on their second week was a good idea? Fuck no, it’s stupid.
But let’s not make up fake news.
Maybe the normies will start realizing we got a class war on our hands and privacy is key battle ground?
