The Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, headed by billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, says it is hiring "a very small number" of full-time, salaried positions.
The solicitation, posted on the Musk-owned social media platform X, comes after the group already said in November that it had received thousands of applications from job-seekers eager to assist with "unglamorous cost-cutting." DOGE — which is not an official federal department — was created by President-elect Donald Trump in November to provide recommendations on how to slash billions in federal spending.
In the same post, DOGE said Musk and Ramaswamy would only review the top 1% of applicants, and that it was exclusively seeking "super high-IQ" individuals willing to work more than 80 hours per week deciding how to eliminate costs.
