A group of six newbie tech industry workers, all between the ages of 19 and 24, and many with past ties to Elon Musk, are fanning out across the federal government to carry out the Trump administration and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)’s goals of cutting trillions from the federal budget, despite having little apparent government experience.
The Musk acolytes have popped up across federal government offices since Trump took over, serving as “expert” advisers, appearing on calls with government workers, with some of them even obtaining government email addresses and high-level access to physical and IT systems without going through any betting process.
Last week, Musk and other unelected DOGE personnel, who operate with little public oversight, gained access to the internal federal payment system, gaining access to Americans Social Security numbers and other confidential information, after a high-ranking Treasury official reportedly resigned rather than provide access.
Recent college grads with no apparent government experience are tearing into Congress-approved programs, and may now have access to confidential information about hundreds of millions of Americans.
Coristine, a recent high school graduate, spent time at Northeastern University, and interned at Musk’s Neuralink brain-computer interface company, according to WIRED.
