About - Elissa Slotkin Challenges Elon Musk's Data Practices.
Elissa Slotkin (D): “Is there anyone in America who is comfortable with Elon Musk and his gang of 20-year-olds using their computer servers to poke through your tax returns, your health information, your bank accounts?”
Well, Alexander Hamilton: Aide to Washington at 20, Yorktown Victor at 24, author of the Annapolis report at 29, Constitution signer and co-writer of the Federalist Papers at 30. So why can’t Elon Musk hire brilliant 20-ish-year-olds to help fix America’s dysfunctional government?
Senator Elissa Slotkin’s concerns about Elon and DOGE are overblown. Trump’s vision for innovation and efficiency with Musk’s leadership is exactly what America needs right now. That information was already being poked through by other government workers. Interesting that you point out the age of these workers, as it is a bad thing. It is not. Technology tends to be advanced by younger people. Technology in this endeavor is also based on efficiency.
I hate this line of questioning. They trust 20-year-olds to defend the country. They trusted Mark Zuckerberg in his twenties when he created a whole network that took loads of information and sold it all over the internet. They trusted 20-year-olds to create Google, YouTube and Instagram.
Walt Disney was a 20-year-old when he started his company. The list just keeps going on. With age comes wisdom, yes. But it doesn't mean that you're smarter or better or more capable. Right now, more than ever, with age comes the desire to hold power.
