Seems a bit odd to make so much of the person's age? After all younger national-guardsmen have been given access to the most sensitive intelligence material.

"these people aren't qualified/vetted!"
okay that's bad and all but is anyone surprised

"these people are basically college students"
what the fuck

personally I think the age and absolute lack of experience is quite relevant.

why would Musk pick a group of 19–25-year-olds to carry out his takeover? because they are much less likely to stand up to him.
