Musk looking for "volunteers" to work 80-hour weeks in his new dept

[Mister_Man]

Do any of the resident geniuses on here want to give it a shot?

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s new commission to slash government spending began soliciting applications for staff jobs Thursday, saying it wants to hire “revolutionaries” who score highly on IQ tests.

“We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting,” the so-called Department of Government Efficiency said on X.

“If that’s you, DM this account with your CV. Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants,” the post said.

Musk said separately that the jobs would be unpaid but that they would “greatly help America.”

“Indeed, this will be tedious work, make lots of enemies & compensation is zero,” he wrote. “What a great deal!”

That'll go well. People love working two 40 hour weeks in a single week with no pay.

Seeking applicants with high IQs, willing to work long hours, and to do it for free.


What I actually expect to happen is small government ideologues will take the positions, they will get paid by right wing oligarchs through foundations and directed to push their initiatives. Book it.

I think those posters will fail the high IQ portion of the requirements.
