Elon Musk's new 'department' seeks 'super high-IQ' staff for unpaid jobs
Musk said “compensation is zero” for the “revolutionaries” who will advise on cuts to the federal budget.
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.

Just to make sure I understand. Musk is going to run an orgination who will advise the federal government to cut regulations that are in the way of him making more money. And this is in no way a conflict of interest.
That's specifically why it won't be a government agency. So they won't be bound by any ethics rules. Make no mistake, this is not a silly one-off. This is the first step of privatizing the government.
