Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Exactly how I expected them to look tbh. Just generic looking kids.
They aren't kids. They're adults that have made their decision and must deal with the blowback from the public.
Old creepy rich dudes have been exploiting young men for millennia, nothing new.
The 🥦 is strong!
Imagine thinking this is a good career move. Or haircut.
This kid really out here using his haircut to advertise his dad's popcorn company.
Chairman Musk's Red Guards. His totally genius thinking spinned ground breaking innovative way to push authoritarian scheme using gullible youth.
"Good Squad" is peak headline. They do look like a bunch of gooners.
I really look forward to all 6 behind bars in a few years. I wonder if they know the level of treason they are committing?
There are a lot of steps before that happens. They are much more likely to end up killed than imprisoned by the looks of things.
Not even old enough for their car insurance to have dropped yet
Strange that none of them have DSL's for their Groomer Elon!
And one who does is trying to cash in on his new job by charging people to read his Substack entry which boast, “Why DOGE: Why I gave up a seven-figure salary to save America.”
LOL
Yeah maybe if he sums up all of his pre-tax total comp for each year he worked there, he might barely reach a seven figure number lmao
Imagine being such massive pieces of shit so young.
Why would that be hard to imagine?
Their brains literally aren't fully formed yet. And the prefeontal cortex is the last to develop.
Younger people will always trend towards "anti establishment" because of it, which makes a political landscape incredibly dangerous when the only two options only care about the wealthy.
The best way to prevent fascism is a pro worker socially progressive party.
Neoliberals stole that from us, then made America play Russian roulette 3x in a row with trump as the gun, and we lost twice.

Your brain works fine when you're under 25 (no matter how 'inconvenient' this fact may be)
In-lieu of the young guys working on Musk's behalf, the old "Your brain isn't fully developed until your 25 claim" has emerged yet again
Here's why it's BS
I think that was a good read. I think the problem I have is that if I look back at my 20 year old self or my 23-year-old self, I see someone that was extremely self assured but had almost 0 real world experience or context for decision-making about very important things.
I think it is disingenuous to absolve them of all blame, but I don't think it's inappropriate to say that it's not surprising that they are young men given how easy it would be for someone who should be a role model to influence them. Elon Musk's team is young so he can control them

TBH it's more forgivable with kids. They might grow out of it.
Kids? They can vote. I understand that there's a gradient of maturity, but we can't give folks a pass just cause they're young.
Some opportunistic idiots who seemingly don't have anything to lose and can be ditched by Elon as scapegoats if the need arises. I almost sure he groomed them with the myth of him being self-made billionaire and provided them a fabulous opportunity to join him. I'm almost sure they aren't kids anymore, but also that they don't know how to crime and that they need a plan B. In the musical chairs game they are likely to fall on their asses once the music stops.
can be ditched by Elon as scapegoats if the need arises
Needs a catchy phrase to go with it. How about "Night of the Long Knives"?
and its not at all surprising to see charlie kuck defending this
Oh look, Elon groomed little boys who could have gone on to do something great.
Hmmmmm.... Some of those faces look a bit DEI to this proud American. At least they're all males.
DEI, all of them. They look like being assigned male at birth, but have obviously all transitioned into massive cunts.
To be clear, this is a legit article so it stays, but no threats of Luigi here guys, lemmy can't afford the attention.

It will be fine we will all get Jan 6th pardons.
The yes-~~man~~daddy militia.
Funny, i expected their shirts to be browner.
And the complexions to be lighter.
Hitler youth?
Xitler youth
Pronounced 'shitler', right?
Yes. Xitter.
Moron squad, assemble!
Can't wait the Mike Judge limited series on this.
