Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran for unrelated reasons.

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;

Elon Musk, free speech absolutist.

If you want to know who really is in charge, just look at who you're not allowed to criticize.

Even a stopped Nazi clock is right twice a day.

And I'm using it against a literal neonazi. Seems fair to me.

Interesting fact, thanks.

As they say though, even a broken clock can be right twice a day

Use of a phrase doesn't automatically imply agreement with its originator.

Broken clock as speed isn't right or offset? Doesn't seem to work

I hereby claim that the law was broken! Arrest Elon!

Have you donated 7+ figures to Donnie? Maybe sprinkle in some leveraging the social media platform you own to help spread propaganda? How concerned are you with the cost of eggs?

Enemy of my enemy...

President Musk is a parasite

I remember that sub and the blackpeople one being absolutely vile cesspits, but if they're trying to kill elon or any doge members I can get behind that.

Crazy that subreddits that revolve around blatant public racism could be so awful!

This is why I think it's important to stoop to their level and start spreading childish rumors about them.

✔️ Not inciting violence

✔️ Not illegal

✔️ Not significant enough for them to claim defamation

✔️ Makes them far too angry for how petty it is on account of their extremely low emotional intelligence

For example: JD Vance only eats the cat food part of lucky charms pass it on

Another example: JD Vance says he's sorry after cumming pass it on

Just one more for good measure: JD Vance puts his cast iron in the dishwasher pass it on

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

You don't have to spread rumors. The Truth is scandalous enough. The cult will cult.

JD Vance cums in his lucky charms and shares it with his cat

Yeah but you really can't dox people even if it seems like the moral thing to do. It wasn't any decision made outside the company, it was made by reddit because it was walking a fine line with their policies.

I'm going entirely off theory but there is a likely chance the people who got hired to be a minion had no idea the parameters of the job. I've gone thru the government job listings and they will tell you only so much about the position. What is required to qualify for the job, what tasks will be done in the job but beyond that, they aren't going to tell you what the grand scheme of the position is. So to me, if any of that is true, then they are trying to post the identities of people who may be appalled by what their job is but don't have the means to step down without having other income already lined up.

I'm not saying anything about what musk is doing is right. I'm just saying, there should be action taken to prevent the identities of people being posted on the internet for all to see.

Dont forget, reddit has literally falsely identifyied an innocent man who committed suicide as being the Boston bomber. Creating an absolute hell for the grieving family who thought their son was missing only to find out he committed suicide before the boston bombing happened. They only found out from the reddit manhunt to dox an innocent person.

I was under the impression it was six people that were DOGE henchmen. They absolutely knew what the job was so I don't know what you're on about. Their names should absolutely be public knowledge.
