Sociopathy is a very strong word, but they do show a pattern of criminal and anti-social behavior. This is not too uncommon in teens, and many young problem kids reform into good members of society either by being shown consequences for their negative behavior, or more or less naturally "mellowing out".

The issue here is that these kids seem to fail upwards, and as you say, get rewarded for anti-social behavior, which sets them on a terrible path for the future. In the Com chat log shared in the article, they made fun of Edward Coristine for his complete lack of programming skills, and the other "doxxed" members of the DOGE team have some smaller projects online as well. If that's the kind of code SpaceX and Tesla run on, I'd give all of their projects a very wide berth.
