Elon Musk has brought in a group of young engineers, many with little government experience, to reshape the US federal infrastructure. Among them is Gavin Kliger, a 2020 University of California graduate, who now serves as a special adviser at the Office of Personnel Management. Previously a senior software engineer at AI startup Databrinks, Kliger has also worked at Twitter. His online writings reflect a scepticism towards established political structures, and he has defended figures like Matt Gaetz while promoting controversial policy ideas.

Luke Farritor, another key figure, was a former SpaceX intern and a Thiel Fellow. He worked on software for rocket components and gained recognition for helping decipher an ancient Greek scroll. Reports indicate he has been granted access to USAID systems and is listed as an engineer in the Department of Health and Human Services. He and Musk's aides have also sought entry into systems managing over$1 trillion in government contracts and payments.

Edward Coristine, the youngest of the group, appears to have only recently graduated from high school and was briefly enrolled at Northeastern University. He spent three months at Neuralink, Musk's brain-interface company, and is now listed as an 'expert' in government records. Business filings link him to several tech ventures, including a company named Tesla.Sexy LLC, which remains active.

Musk's influence on federal operations continues to expand as his team gains access to critical government systems. A US Office of Personnel Management spokeswoman declined to comment on the appointments.
