I really do care that the kid is writing code because Bessent told senior Republicans in a closed-door meeting Musk et al only have read access and that through another person (Krause). If this kid is writing code, he's doing so without legal authority. This isn't a coup, it's espionage.

That's just play on words at this time

Clearly the federal government has been compromised by private citizens with unclear, or secret, affiliations to the president and his associates

Congress and the courts seem unable to repel the attack so far
