The Department of Energy on Friday tried to clarify why one of Elon Musk’s DOGE underlings was granted access to the department’s I.T. systems despite opposition from its general counsel and cybersecurity offices.
CNN reports that Luke Farritor, 23, whose previous work experience consists of an internship at Musk’s company SpaceX was granted access by Energy Secretary Chris Wright Wednesday. The department’s legal counsel and chief information offices, which govern I.T. and cybersecurity, “said this is a bad idea,” according to a source who spoke with CNN, given that Farritor hadn’t received a standard background check.

Of course I can only speak about my area of the lab I would assume the manufacturing part if run differently.
A half seems pretty harsh. It is a very weird place and in my building and on any one day about 33-40% of the offices have people in them. Fridays 5-15% I would presume some are on travel, vacation, and so on. After Covid, there ware a huge drop off.
However compared to government organization I would guess LANL is 10 times more efficient
Do not mees with a battalion of asbergers kids with unlimited energy, strawberry poptarts . redbull and air mattresses/sleeping bags.
Proving to be a force to be reckoned with.
So what thathe is 23, if he is competent, and he is likely more competent than a lot of the dead wood at the labs, his “experience” has no bearing. It sounds like you are jealous, to be honest.
My guess is you are suffering from the new Elon Musk Derangement Syndrome . Quick, sell your Tesla because he has differing opinions. Is that what you learned in your training?
No one should fear a broad review of spending when the country has a nearly $2T budget deficit and $37T debt, with $10T added in the past five years. But Elon is a Nazi! Country full of easily manipulated dumbasses.
