"One, a senior adviser to the director, is a 21-year-old whose online resume touts his work for Palantir," per Wired, while another "who reports directly to Scales, graduated from high school in 2024." A copy of the latter's resume include his summer internship with Musk's Neuralink, alongside jobs as — we assure you that we are not joking — a camp counselor and bike mechanic.
Although both these tykes are ostensibly poised to rip and tear through America's federal agencies, Wired declined to name them "because of their ages" — a somewhat baffling choice given that both appear to be of legal age. (And if they're not, well, that's a much bigger problem.)
At least the 5th article shitting on wired for not naming them...
But no one else has the names besides Wired?
Like, I agree they should disclose the names, but I don't understand why no one else can find out who these "kids" are.
There's already a lawsuit
The new legal challenge comes as the Trump administration has launched a multi-front effort to overhaul how the federal workforce operates, including initiatives to weaken federal workforce protections and to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs, among other actions.
According to the new lawsuit, federal employees in recent days received emails from the email address [email protected] that purported to be running tests for a new “distribution and response list.”
They didn't even wait for the "fork" email...
The part about metadata showing it's not coming from OPM but private email servers would come out of discovery on that
He didn't seize shit...
They made up an email address, claimed it was OPM, then spent an afternoon pretending to be official between that and the fork in the road email.
Apparently from metadata, it's not even a real email for OPM, it's being spoofed.
The whole thing is an absolute shit show.
But on the upside all it seems to be doing is delaying the retirements of everyone who was already planning on leaving when trump came back.
They have no idea what a bureaucrat will put up with out of spite, and a large amount of Feds didn't like their loyalty called into question by some ai slop pretending to be from a federal agency.
Edit:
They sent another last night too, a "FAQ" talking about how you'll get paid till the end of the fiscal year...
Like government employees aren't fucking aware we're on a continuing resolution... There's zero money to offer here, and a "FAQ" isn't binding.
That's not even getting I to how a couple agencies are saying if anyone takes it, they lose the position for good.
Like a 10 person office, if 2 take it, it's now permanently an 8 person office.
It's an obvious trick. And all it's doing is galvanizing the federal workforce
Edit 2:
And if you're not up to speed, the emails are 100% "written" by the 19 year old using chatbots.

Pretty sure I've got Anker cables from when they were the "no name generic" option.
They're probably the most recommended brand now for all types of cables and battery banks. It's kind of crazy
It's insane how many people took that email seriously...
If they could fire a bunch of feds they would, but they can't so they want to scare them into resigning.
Even when there's good reason, it's hard as fuck to fire a fed. Don't let them get what they want without the fight, because they'll used the time saved to break more shit.
Cool...
But if you're done, why are you here trying to convince others to give up?
If it's too much for you, that happens.
Go check out from politics, dont hang out and tell people it's pointless to try. Literally no one is happy in that scenario except trump.
The addition of electricity is the only reason anyone calls it scifi
Nothing new about it...
Movies are made in Cali because the first studios didn't want to pay Edison for his stolen patents on equipment...
So they moved to the opposite end of the country where it was mostly unenforceable, and it didn't take long till intellectual property was a big concern for them.
Smart people doubt themselves.
Dumb people see that as weakness.
So dumb people often follow someone dumb, or someone that lies constantly.
In this case, both
You shouldn't assume what position anyone is in.
But historically we know what happens when people resign...
Well, I do at least, are you aware what happened with the KKK in the South and why the majority of Southern politicians went from Black to white?
It wasn't good for the families of the people who resigned or anyone else of that group.
The scuttlebutt is all the HR@opm emails are coming from an outside server someone just walked into OPM and plugged into the network lol.
It's a total shit show
