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.

    “High-IQ” aka boot lickers who agree with everything Musk says or does and are willing to do so for no compensation. And let’s consider those who have the financial means “work” for free. The over privileged fundees who think they earned their wealth by hard work even those its all daddy’s money… Rining any bells? Unpaid positions are exactly what we don’t need to help with combat our economic woes anyways.
