  1. This shouldn’t happen in a civilized country. I can’t even imagine the level of humiliation those people faced.

  2. Where are the union reps during these 15 minute interviews? And why is Musk and his family “shacked up on the sixth floor of our agency”?

  3. Interview/Test included the following:

    – Musk/Hitler Salute

    – Skin colour test (like when comparing different shades of paint), only the whitest will get through

    – Verification of convicted sexual crimes

    – Measurement of the throat to verify if there is enough room to guzzle down trumps dong

    – IQ test – must be under 80

  4. My question is, how the fuck did Musk meet these guys. Did he just pick a bunch of 4chan trolls, or enlist people he met playing Diablo?

  5. More than a little surprised no one jumped across the table on these kids. The stress level at government agencies has to be through the roof.

  6. Imagine being a 10 year vet of the FBI as part of a terrorism task force having to tell a fucking 19 year old why your existence is important.

    I pray the rest of the world wakes up and fucking isolates the fuck out of us so these stupid MAGA fucks realize what they’ve done.

  7. Keep in mind, federal employees, that they are most likely going to fire you anyway. There is really no downside to beating the absolute shit out of them during that 15-minute window.

  8. Dictator Elmo’s (X)itler youth interviewing, squid game style.

  9. A 19 year old that doesn’t know shit about shit questioning our dwindling dedicated federal workers.

    The government isn’t about shareholder value or how well you can sell your “innovative” grift. I don’t want to hear about efficiency from silicon valley ghouls. There isn’t a moment in history where more money has been flushed down the toilet then with silicon valley venture capitalism.

  10. President Elmo is definitely giving the US government the Silicon Valley treatment.

    I can’t tell you how many tech industry vets with decades of experience have to do the same thing. Talking to some entitled, self-important, power-tripping little shit with less years on the planet than the industry vets have experience in tech to justify their job or interview for a job making less than half of what those twits make.

    This is exactly the world that big tech wants to impose on the rest of the country.

  11. What a fucking insult. I don’t have the decorum to capitulate to that bullshit. I suppose that’s why I’m not a fed though.

  12. My partners 19 year old little brother works for my company. Although I love him like a little brother, if I had a dollar for every stupid out of touch or just plain incorrect claims he has made over the course of his time working with me I’d be about a tenth as rich as Elon.

    Not saying there isn’t smart as hell teenagers out there, but most of them are dumb as rocks and overconfident in their capabilities, while still learning how the world works. These kids being put in these positions of power at that age will never grow to learn from their mistakes or have any kind of self awareness to grow from some of the dumbass ideas they have because they are literally deciding on grown people’s lives before they’ve even fully developed their own brains. It’s pretty nuts to see this going on.

  13. Why don’t the bigger federal employees just eat the DOGE Incels?!

    Or just push them into a federal locker and leave em. Or maybe dunk their heads in the federal toilets and give these pass-ants a federal swirlie?

  14. Imagine having 20 years of admirable service under your belt and a 19-year-old with no government experience decides your position is “wasteful”. And now you, at age 50 with two kids who are still in high school, are out of a job despite being a top performer and doing everything right.

    I gotta think even Trump supporters are feeling some kind of way about this.

  15. Musk did this to Twitter. Fired employees left and right till only the H1B guys who were tied to the job stayed.

    And it was a disaster. Twitter has lost advertisers and 3/4 of its market value (according to Fidelity Investments).

    Why is that whole fiasco held up as an example of what to do to the Federal Government?

  16. 15 minutes is a long time for them to reject anyone who isn’t a white guy.

  17. ‘I help negotiate international regulations aimed at controlling equipment and supplies available to garage bio entrepreneurs who might inadvertently unleash killer viruses on the world. So what did you do at your last internship?”

  18. Imagine having to sit and justify your existence to someone who’s not old enough to understand the purpose of their own existence yet.

  19. This is literally office space but Dr. Cox is a 20 year old business undergrad

  20. Which means the charismatic ones who are good at arguing and presenting their case will be the most likely to keep their jobs, not necessarily the ones who know what they’re doing.

  21. > The clip concluded with the employee adding that his queer and transgender colleagues “are being doxed in public; their lives threatened.”

    This is it. We’re sleepwalking on the road to a genocide. -Signed, a nonbinary person

  22. Why are the adults playing along with this though?

    Why doesn’t the entire department point and laugh when these kids demand shit?

    Afraid of getting fired? Read the fucking hand writing on the wall.

  23. Imagine being a civil servant that vowed their life to the Constitution and your country. And now you’re getting a 15-minute interview from a 19-year-old Neo-Nazi that publicly posted that he was racist before it was cool, whose Twitter handle is Big balls, to keep your job that you devoted your life to.

    I would be so embarrassed for my country and all the people that voted for this Pro-Nazi garbage.

    All of their great-grandparents are rolling around in their graves, seeing that their great-grandchildren are trying to destroy all the hard work that they did in eliminating a Nazi government.

    FUCK THE NAZIS.
