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.

This dipshit thinks he can save the country 2 trillion dollars by firing government workers.
Even if he fired every single government position in the entire country, he couldn't make up 2 fucking trillion dollars out of that. The budget for payroll is, what? Like 15% of the total spending?
This dipshit thinks he can save the country 2 trillion dollars by firing government workers.
This dude has no intention of saving anyone but himself.
The funny thing is this sweep will likely be very indiscriminate so among those fired many will have voted for Trump hoping groceries will be cheaper. They will learn first hand what happens when you entrust government to psychopaths and techbros.
He doesn't genuinely think that's true. It's all a grift.

I had to look up what an "endomorph" is; sounds like it's the "built like a tank" body type. So I mean, c'mon man. I know the kinda people you're aiming for, but you hit a bunch of other people in the process. Not judging you too hard, I've done the same thing (and will probably continue to make the same or similar mistakes), but... Yeah.
Edit: to explain my discomfort, based on what I've read, "endomorph" is a body type that could be described as stocky. Not fat, not obese or stupid or a meathead, but just stocky. I've known people like that, and none of them were the kinda people who'd get fooled by Trump. They weren't stupid, they were in very, very good shape, and they were kind people. The implication in the post, however, is that people who have that body type are easily grifted by Trump & Co.
(Also, fat shaming isn't a very nice thing to do. You might think obese people are ugly or gross, but they're still people and they still have feelings. Don't be a dick.)
Gravy seals. Yall'qaeda
See, those would be better terms to use. It wouldn't fit the acronym, but they'd be more precise and not imply that chunky people are easily grifted.
It was not meant to imply “that chunky people are easily grifted”, my intent was that Elon & Trump were the endomorphs, but it was obviously easily misconstrued.
Either way, your point was valid and it has been edited :)
Thanks for the constructive criticism, it has been edited for a better meaning
