Elon Musk's favorite teenage script kiddie, Edward Coristine, has been given a "senior advisor" role at the US State Department.

He's perhaps the most extreme example possible of how Republicans lay out the red carpet for people with the tiniest shred of talent who agree with them.

Democrats, by contrast, generally refuse to listen to anyone unless they worked on a presidential campaign a decade ago.

EDIT: Two replies say I've overstated his talent so I've tweaked.
