As I was sitting here yesterday evening it came to me. Musk keeps using these guys because they’re willing to do things these other more experienced people are not. I want to be crystal clear: This isn’t something I’m reporting. I believe it’s just the most logical reading of the available evidence.
Basically, people who are a bit older know that it’s not worth committing a crime because their boss said so, but a bunch of interns who don’t know better are willing.
“But what is the other explanation?”
When it all goes wrong, and everyone has to Make Attorneys Get Attorneys, you need low level plebes to fall on their swords.
“Hey, hey, it wasn’t ME! It was THIS GUY!”
We’re already seeing it with Musk and the whole “Well, he doesn’t REALLY run DOGE.”
