Elon Musk's DOGE begins mass hiring spree

Billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have started hiring for their newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, but applicants must be subscribed to X to submit their resumes.

President-elect Donald Trump tapped the Tesla CEO and former Republican presidential candidate duo to run the newly-created department dubbed DOGE on Tuesday.

Trump said DOGE the duo will 'dismantle' the $6.5 trillion federal government by co-leading the 'Manhattan Project of our time.'

The department announced on X - owned by Musk - that they are hiring team members.

One of the requirements for applicants is to pay for a premium membership to the platform so they can submit their resumes.

'We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE. We don’t need more part-time idea generators,' DOGE said.

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