Six university age men with little to no government experience were selected by Elon Musk to help him dismantle the American foreign auxiliary agency.
During his election campaign, the founder of the billionaire Tesla was appointed head of the Department of Government Efficiency after months of loyalty to President Donald Trump.
Now he has engaged a group of men aged 19-25 – of whom three are supposed to still be at university – to fulfill powerful technical roles and to help him save costs.
At just 19, Edward Coristine is the youngest of the fresh couple that it takes on the American business community and long -existing government institutions.
According to Wired, he is called an 'expert' in his field and not yet clear his details about his role.
Akash Bobba, 21, Ethan Shaotran, 22, and Luke Farritor, 23, together with Coristine, reportedly got a suite informed of their work, which means that they can work from the upper floor of the desk with access to all Physical spaces and IT systems.
Musk's Doge is growing rapidly in power and expands his assignment, the most recently for the opening for access to limited parts of the general buildings of service management and IT systems.
These systems store sensitive data, including SOFI numbers, addresses and contact details.

The oldest of the couple is the 25-year-old graduate Gavin Kliger van Berkeley, who, although it has not been established that they have been determined at the top level, has proven that he has a considerable power.
Finally, Gautier Cole Killian is named after his role at Doge, who is reportedly 'volunteer' at this stage.
Of the appointments and the widespread criticism of the men of the men, Musk said: “Time to confess: Media reports that say that Doge has some of the best software in the world are in fact true.”
Gavin Kliger, 25
Kliger was appointed by the New York Times as an account holder behind a controversial company-wide e-mail that was sent to employees of USAID.
Allegedly, the Berkeley graduated instructed all employees of the office not to return to Washington's head office on Monday.
In the meantime, a maximum of 600 employees were reporting that they were locked up from their work computer systems.
The reports were similar to those of Twitter employees during the takeover of Musk and the transition to X.
Kliger has since published a substit article article – which subscribers can read for $ 12 per month – entitled: 'Why doge. Why I specified a salary of seven digits to save America. '
Matt Hopson, who named Trump as the new Staff chef of USAID, reportedly resigned after the incident. Trump has ordered a major freezing of foreign help.
Trump said that the department was 'run by a bunch of radical crazy people', insisting that he 'takes it out, and then we will make a decision'.
The agency spends around $ 70 billion a year on foreign help. Projects include HIV/AIDS treatments and encouraging women's health in conflict zones.

Luke Farritor, 23
Luke Farritor already has a well -known link to Musk, which is interned for SpaceX before landing his new performance.
Farritor, stopped with the University of Nebraska to start working for Nat Friedman, the Silicon Valley -Entreenur behind Github.
Friedman described Farritor as 'a national treasure' after his appointment was made public.
He won part of a prize of $ 700,000 in 2024 after using AI technology to help decipher a 2,000 -year -old document – part of the Vesuvius roles of Pompeii – that scientists had tried to resolve for centuries.
The charred role was believed that it was burned unrecognizable.

Edward Coristine, 19
The youngest of Musk's Elite Squad is only 19 and a student at Northeastern University in Boston.
Last summer, Coristine is reportedly interned for three months at Musk's Neuralink, after graduating high school.
Little is known about the role of Coristine at Doge, but he is mentioned as an 'expert'.
Wired cited sources that claim that Coristine has called calls with staff in the department and to 'let them go code they had written and justify their job'.
Employees were reportedly confused by his admission to the meetings and later expressed that they had not been properly informed his identity or role, even during the call.
Coristine's father, Charles, is the CEO of Popcorn Empire, Lesserevil. Coristine once worked as a team member for the brand.
Until recently, Coristine reportedly used a social media handle called '@edwardbigbigaller'.

Akash Bobba, 21
Bobba is another 'expert' in the department that is still studying at the University of California, Berkeley.

He also had previously interned for Meta and Palantir – who was founded by 2016 Maga Donor, Peter Thiel.

Ethan Shaotran, 22
Shaortran founded Energize AI – a planning assistant for professionals. The startup earned a $ 100,000 subsidy from OpenAI in 2023.
The 22-year-old said in September that he was a senior at Harvard University and reportedly worked in the computer lab of the school on autonomous vehicles.
Musk tries to develop self-driving cars on his Tesla headquarters.
Shaortran is part of the Harvard Mountaineering Club and worked as a Divemaster in Hawaii for a gap year.
He also has a unique link to Musk, who participated in his Xai 'Hackathon'. He and his team were number two after they used Xai's Grok to make plausible answers from X followers to a hypothetical question.

Musk's Doge has a major force
Musk leads an extraordinary civil assessment of the federal government with the Trump agreement.
“It became clear that it is not an apple with a worm that is in it,” said Musk in a live session on X spaces start Monday.
“What we have is just a ball worms. You actually have to get rid of the whole thing. It is irreparable. '
Musk recently hinted that he was also the brain behind Trump's decision to purify federal employees by placing a symbolic image on X who went back to his notorious Twitter cleaning.
At the time, he sent a letter to the staff entitled: “A fork in the way.” The same title was used in the recent e-mail from Trump with generous dismissal packages
Musk later shared X that he ordered a work of art of a huge fork that stood on the road, indicating that it was all connected.
Musk did not have chosen office, but was formally appointed on Monday as a 'special government employee' by the White House.
