A 23-year-old former SpaceX intern, Luke Farritor, was granted access to the U.S. Energy Department’s IT system—despite lacking the required security clearance and background check, according to CNN. The decision, approved by Trump loyalist Energy Secretary Chris Wright, was made over strong objections from cybersecurity officials, raising major concerns about government security protocols. According to
You tell me a 23 years old can be compromised ! Who would have thought !
Heavy threats or promised large sum of money won’t be used against such a strong willfull man right ?

That 23 year old can easily be compromised. I know this because he was, by musk.
My grandma could snap that mfer in half and she’s been dead for years.

Every person is different. But on average, younger people are easier to trick. As are the elderly. The former lacks experience. The latter loses faculties.
It’s ageist to pre judge a person based on age. It’s not ageist to understand the progression of the human mind.
You wouldn’t say it’s ageist that babies are easy to trick, would you?

Maybe. See, you assume this person has a full comprehension of what’s he’s doing, why he’s doing it, and the historical context around what musk is doing. You assume he’s all-in on being a fascist.
You’re assuming this guy is a genius who spent his time learning programming and history and politics. And from there he decided that he’ll help overthrow a government.
I remember being that age, and apparently I wasn’t as smart because I just learned programming by then. It took will into my 30s to start to understand social issues and into my 40s to start to get politics. I worked for a very evil corporation because the money was good, and never gave it a second thought.
If we knew the guy’s name we could look him up online and see if his posts are more “well researched Nazi” or “easily fooled lonely edgelord”. But if I had to put money on it, I’m betting it’s the latter.

His age is only relevant if you care about the how or the why. You seem to care only about the what.
Which is fine. But the how and why matter if we want to prevent more of this. For example, to me this shows we need to teach history and politics better in technical colleges.
Brain development.
So you dont mind a inexperienced 23 years old running the energy dept. You know the one whom handles fissile materials etc…
And don’t forget he has no security clearance, was not vetted.

What about experience? Can a 23 year old have the experience to understand the gravity of what he is dealing with?

"Although the brain stops growing in size by early adolescence, the teen years are all about fine-tuning how the brain works. The brain finishes developing and maturing in the mid-to-late 20s. The part of the brain behind the forehead, called the prefrontal cortex, is one of the last parts to mature. "

That doesn’t answer my question.
You’re the only one that brought up clearance.

It’s not just about (and has little to do with) security clearance. A 23 year old is very unlikely to have enough experience in literally fucking anything to be wielding the authority and property of the American people like these children are.
“ageism”
What are you, 14?

Oh god! Not the Muppet!
If you think any 23 year old should be allowed to create backdoors into the systems that control nukes then you are probably too young to properly judge this situation.

It’s just funny you crying agism and defending this guy for literally any reason
We both know why you’re here
I just don’t defend fascists because I know it leads to nothing good
He’s not defending anyone though, as I understand it he’s just saying that there are valid reasons for criticising this, but age isn’t among them
That’s how people defend shitty people they agree with but are too embarrassed to agree with publicly.
The term is sympathizer.

At 23, men’s frontal lobes aren’t even fully developed. You’re substantially wrong.
