Planned commission will have 'tedious work,' while 'compensation is zero'
An upcoming government commission that will be led by billionaire businessmen Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy is looking for "super high-IQ" individuals to work long hours with "zero" compensation.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced the recruitment drive through a post on Musk-owned X.
"We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting," DOGE said in the X post. "If that's you, DM this account with your CV. Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants."
Musk followed up the post, hinting at the heavy work that the role will have.
"This will be tedious work, make lots of enemies & compensation is zero," he said on X. "What a great deal!"
Indeed, this will be tedious work, make lots of enemies & compensation is zero.

The DOGE is a planned US presidential advisory commission that was announced by President-elect Donald Trump ahead of his second term.
It is not expected to be a federal executive department, but Trump noted that it would "provide advice and guidance from outside of government," BBC reported.
According to the report, Trump said the initiative will help "dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures and restructure federal agencies."
