In an announcement on Elon Musk's social network X, the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said those interested in joining the effort to cut federal costs should send their resumes via direct message on X. "We are so grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE. We don't need any more half-baked idea creators. We need high-IQ government revolutionaries who are willing to work 80+ hours a week to cut unnecessary costs," the DOGE announcement said. "If that's you, send a direct message to this account with your resume. Elon & Vivek will consider the top 1% of applicants," the announcement said. Musk noted that those working at DOGE will not be paid for their efforts to cut spending and streamline the government. On November 12, President-elect Donald Trump announced that billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead the new US "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE). According to Musk, DOGE will be completely transparent and will report all its activities on an online platform. "All activities of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency. Whenever the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful, let us know," Musk said. In addition, he announced that he will create a "ranking board" to list the "least wise" spending of taxpayers' money. DOGE is expected to provide guidance and will cooperate with the White House and US budget agencies to "push forward large-scale structural reform and create an entrepreneurial approach to government like never before," according to Trump. In late October, Mr. Musk promised to save US taxpayers $2,000 billion if Mr. Trump won the election on November 5. At that time, the American billionaire said that people's tax money was being wasted, and DOGE would solve that problem. "We will stop the government from bothering you and taking your money. When Mr. Trump proposed the creation of DOGE, he stated that it would be an independent force tasked with conducting a comprehensive financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for the drastic reforms we need," Mr. Musk pledged. Previously, Mr. Musk had warned about the state of US debt, saying that the country was at risk of bankruptcy if it did not rein in spending. Billionaire Elon Musk was the most prominent supporter of Mr. Trump's election campaign this year. He spent more than $130 million on the super committee America PAC, making the group a key part of President Trump's effort to regain the White House. President-elect Donald Trump expects billionaire Elon, the boss of SpaceX and Tesla, and billionaire Vivek to "make changes to the federal bureaucracy with the goal of efficiency and improving the lives of all Americans." "Importantly, we will eliminate the massive waste and fraud that exists in our $6.5 trillion in annual government spending. Together, they will work to free up our economy and make the American government accountable to the people," Trump stressed.
