Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsMusk has set up an account for his nonexistent department, fraudulently labeled "government" via a gray checkmark
and asking people to submit resumes if they're "super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting."
But they can't submit resumes except via DM, which in this case requires subscribing to X - paying Musk. (You can DM only those who follow you, or who DM'd you first, if you don't subscribe.)

@DOGE
We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE. We dont need more part-time idea generators. We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting. If thats you, DM this account with your CV. Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants.

This account has been given a grey checkmark, verifying it as an official government account.
It also only accepts resumes be DM's, which are solely open to verified X users who pay Elon Musk.
This level of corruption is staggering.
Being that this is not an official government agency, this would also seem to be a fraudulent impersonation violating FTC rules:

Sounds great, but I hope it also comes with shitty pay and no benefits.
