Musk remarked, “Indeed, this will be tedious work, make lots of enemies & compensation is zero. What a great deal!”
FOX;
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which President-elect Trump put Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy in charge of, announced on Thursday that it is opening up hiring to interested candidates.
DOGE wrote in a post on Musk-owned X that those who want to work on its cost-cutting push should send their résumés via direct message on X. To send a DM to the DOGE account, users are currently required to be verified, which entails at least an $8-per-month premium X subscription.
“We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE. We don’t need more part-time idea generators. We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting,” DOGE wrote.
“If that’s you, DM this account with your CV. Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants.” more
I’d like to help, but, sorry, I’m retired. Besides, my SS doesn’t include $8/mo. for a subscription to X.
I’ll start the bidding at $25K/year. I’ll pay more if I have to.
If I were fifteen, or even ten, years younger I’d send in my CV. It would be a dream job.
And, yeah, for quite a long spell working an 80 hour week was for me unremarkable, and I’ve got a knack for doing well on IQ tests. Finally, taking a cutting torch to govt would be a labor of love!
I’m 35 year veteran of government work. 80 hours is a cake walk. crappy compensation — No Problem! Please make me the auditor of the VA (where I spent 27 years). on day one, I promise to peel of 35% and that’s without firing a soul. by the time I get through weeding out the deadwood (people), i promise 85% cuts and better service to our veterans. Gone will be the days of purchasing $40k executive desks and, at the same time not having funds for tongue depressors.
Anonymous SubPrime-take away the anal flashlights from the IRS while yer at it too!
gob…. thinking the same thing. sounds like it costs money to be efficient. wonder if the 8 per month is tax deductible. not a good way to start, reminds me of the guys selling the pyramid scheme.
In my opinion the very first thing that they need to correct is Base Line Budgeting. Our money will continue to be wasted until they correct that crap.
I would be happy to help…. alas, I am in x time out for suggesting the appropriate punishment for treason.
