This whole thing rubs me the wrong way. The age policy is not in place for an exceptional kid, it's probably in place as a result of some legal/common sense measures.

This kid appears sort of clueless and the whole thing smells like SpaceX propaganda.

LinkedIn’s policies are more likely (precisely?) rooted in the stigma around child labour and the unwillingness to be seen as a platform to recruit 13 year olds.
