Meet Akash Bobba: the 22-year-old Indian-origin tech prodigy who has made headlines for joining Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). A graduate of UC Berkeley's prestigious Management, Entrepreneurship, and Technology program, Bobba previously interned at Meta and Palantir. His rapid ascent has sparked controversy, as he and his fellow young engineers—aged 19 to 24—have been granted access to sensitive government systems despite their limited experience.
