Aside from the politics of the #coup and deconstruction of the #US, I had a thought while reading today's newsletter from #HeatherCoxRichardson quoting @Wired

“[a] 25-year-old engineer named Marko Elez, who previously worked for two Elon Musk companies [SpaceX and X], has direct access to Treasury Department systems responsible for nearly all payments made by the US government.”

Where did they find a 25-year-old who can program #COBOL?
