  Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk's companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.


Elon Musk has expressed concerns about the U.S. government's ability to attract and retain young engineering talent, particularly in light of competition from the private sector and other countries. In a discussion highlighted by WIRED, Musk pointed out that the allure of working on cutting-edge projects in companies like SpaceX or Tesla often overshadows the opportunities available in government roles. He emphasized the need for the government to offer more engaging, high-impact projects to compete for top engineering graduates. Musk also critiqued the bureaucratic hurdles and slow pace of government projects which deter young engineers, suggesting that reforms are necessary to make government work more appealing and efficient. This comes at a time when national security and technological advancement are increasingly intertwined, making the recruitment of young, innovative minds crucial for maintaining competitive edge.
