    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.

        if you’re old enough to drink, you’re old enough to be the target of public ridicule for fucking over hundreds of thousands of federal workers

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

          Not saying they don’t deserve consequences for being a little Nazi to the top Nazi.

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

      Either way, sounds right that Musk would be hiring teens.

    A bourgeoisie can not break the law. It explicitly exists to protect them from their own consequences at the cost of the public, who the weapons of law are pointed at.

    There’s a government department called OPM? I assume they were heavily involved in Afghanistan?

        opium production was high under the US influenced government of Afghanistan of the 1970s, decreased 10-fold by 2001 under the Taliban, and then increased 30-fold and more under the US

        Is a joke that the department of OPM is the department of opium. Because sounding it the letters O P M sounds like opium

      What the fuck’s going on with his jaw? Does he have tumors or something? I always assumed this drawing was just shitty, but damn they really nailed the drawn-by-a-kid nature of this motherfucker.

          It does sort of look like he had his jaw surgically squared off, but that the surgeon went a little overboard and gave him a cinderblock head.

    It has never been adequately explained to me how Musk is standing behind the other two Nazis but his head is somehow the height of both their torsos. Shouldn’t it look smaller or is this some LOTR forced perspective trick that I don’t understand?
