Summary

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s new “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) began recruiting “high-IQ small-government revolutionaries” willing to work 80+ hours per week with no pay to help slash federal spending.

Appointed by President-elect Donald Trump, the panel is tasked with recommending spending cuts, regulatory rollbacks, and agency restructuring by July 4, 2026.

Musk and Ramaswamy advocate for drastic measures, including cutting grants to nonprofits and potential mass layoffs.

    My first thought was spies… because they are already on someone else’s payroll.
    Also, bootlickers and extremely desperate people that would take on any job.

      People “desperate for any job” are actually desperate for money and willing to work for it. They won’t take an unpaid position, what are you thinking?
