Summary
Elon Musk’s DOGE has hired 21-year-old undergraduate Christopher Sweet to help revise Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations using AI, despite his lack of government experience.
Internal emails describe Sweet’s role as an “AI computer programming quant analyst” tasked with identifying housing rules to relax or eliminate.
Critics say DOGE hires inexperienced tech workers to dismantle agencies under the guise of reform, aligning with Trump’s Project 2025 agenda.
Musk admitted DOGE has made frequent errors and failed to cut promised spending, with federal expenditures already up $220 billion compared to early 2024.
I don’t object to younger people writing the regs and laws.
I don’t trust Musk though, he’s not a smart person.
I do, they don’t know what the fuck they are doing.
Inexperience and policy making are like trying to mix oil and water.
These inexperienced tech bros are not writing regs and laws, though. They’re using generative AI to identify existing programs to gut. You are talking about legislative changes to keep up with the times and that’s not what they are doing here, to the detriment of the whole country.
