This is the same group he’s been openly bragging “helped” with the elections. Make of that what you will. A bunch of idiot kids who get paid like adults (probably in crypto as well) will do absolutely anything he says. Hitler playbook.
His little X Youth.
Absolutely gobsmacking to watch Americans be ok with this. Kill their neighbours for knocking on the wrong door but watch thieves take their entire country - actually take, not hyperbole - from under their noses.
According to American laws, they aren’t breaking any, technically. They are also unidentified as of yet, only claimed to exist by Musk. Although he’s a complete fucking idiot, he’s smart enough to keep them off the government books so their identity doesn’t become public record. They’ll slip up though.

What?
They broke multiple with the very first email…
Then the anti deficiency act with the promise of pay past what is budgeted…
And a bunch of smaller ones.
Who the hell told you they haven’t broken any laws and why are you listening to them?

Can you cite any specific statutes or CFRs?
I’m not aware of anything that specifically prevents OPM from lying to the federal civil service (about the terms of a buyout offer) in an email. Or from making empty threats about “consequences” in ten days or whatever.
As far as I know, the President is legally entitled to control OPM pretty unilaterally. Like OMB.
A lot of hoopla has been made about Musk and the Bureau of the Fiscal Service. But I’m not aware of anything that has been definitely illegal so far. (Unless he starts messing with legally mandated payments. BFS is basically just a fancy check printing house. All of the important fiscal decisions are supposed to be made in other government departments, offices, and Congressional appropriations.)
The only things I know about that are probably squarely illegal are the IG firings, and the EOs that are already in litigation. In the case of the IGs, I’m not sure if there any kind of substantial enforcement mechanism.

This act prohibits federal agencies from obligating or expending federal funds in advance or in excess of an appropriation, and from accepting voluntary services.
The article literally lists their names, so I’d say they’re pretty well identified.
No, it does not. He has a “team” of this kids he’s using as Hitler Youth stand-ins that are not even identified by name.
3rd paragraph is their names
Yes, that is not the name of his team. The same unidentified people he had in the Treasury Payment system, and the same group he’s been touting since the election.
Your comments are confusing. Who are you referring to using the words “unidentified people”?
When I use https://archive.is/YAmss#selection-729.0-729.118 I see a list of names of engineers, which is surely a list of “The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover”.
This parasite is spreading more than metastasizing cancer
Nazi youth.
Elon Musk gets his best ideas from Ben Chang.
Chang eats the sun and drinks the sky and we all go with him when he dies
