Elon Musk is relying on a coterie of young engineers with little government experience in his takeover of the U.S. Federal government infrastructure. Here are some details about three of them. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) declined to comment.
[Gavin] Kliger, pictured donning a “Make America Great Again” hat on his profile page on social media platform X, was most recently a senior Software Engineer at San Francisco, California-based AI Startup Databrinks [sic] and served in a similar role at Twitter in 2019, his Linkedin Profile shows.
Luke Farritor is a former intern at SpaceX, Musk’s space company, where he worked 10 hour days writing software for the pumps, valves and other components that help fuel rockets, according to an article posted on the website of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where Farritor studied computer science.
According to Wired magazine, Edward Coristine appears to have recently graduated from high school and to have been enrolled at Northeastern University. He also spent three months at Neuralink, Musk’s brain-computer interface company, last summer, the magazine added.
Coristine is listed in internal OPM records as an “expert” at OPM, Wired reported.
A Connecticut registry of businesses shows that an Edward Coristine created three tech or computer-related firms that list as a principle place of business a New Canaan, Connecticut home, valued by Zillow at over $2.4 million. One of them, Tesla.Sexy LLC, dedicated to “Professional, Scientific and Technological services,” appears to still be in operation.
Web-based platform Github, which allows developers to store, share and collaborate on code, shows an Eduard C as the only “member” of Diamond CDN — one of the now dissolved Connecticut-based companies founded by Coristine. The same Eduard C, who describes himself as a technologist who is “passionate about improving humanity!” has contributed to Neuralink’s code base, according to the platform.
