Comment on 23-Year-Old Elon Musk Rep Granted Energy Dept. IT Access Without Security Clearance

  Ageism right here. There is nothing preventing a 23 year old from holding being as trustworthy as a 50 year old.

    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.

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

      At 23 you can hold a security clearance. Being 23 does not make you a liar, security risk or inherently untrustworthy.

      At 50 you can be a lying stealing murdering meth addict.

      His age is not the problem here.

      You are demonstrably wrong. Perhaps there is an issue with your frontal lobes if you cannot comprehend this simple concept.

    That 23 year old can easily be compromised. I know this because he was, by musk.

      So criticise him for being a boot licking clown employed by the Swasticar king.

      Age is not a valid criticism here.

        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?

    “ageism”

    What are you, 14?

      I’m almost old enough to be his father, and also old enough to recognise that you’re a fucking muppet

        Oh god! Not the Muppet!

    So you dont mind a inexperienced 23 years old running the energy dept. You know the one whom handles fissile materials etc…

      His age and his lack of clearance are entirely separate matters, one is worthy of criticism and the other isn’t.

      • ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        You’re the only one that brought up clearance.

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

    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.

    • Cypher@lemmy.world ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Criticising the installation of back doors is valid, trying to paint me as not old enough is hilarious and more ageism.

      Not only am I old enough, I happen to be a cyber security expert, capable of understanding that a Government department has more than one system, and backdoors to one system does not magically grant access to nukes.

        It’s just funny you crying agism and defending this guy for literally any reason

        I just don’t defend fascists
