According to online reports, the official X account of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in the United States issued an article saying that it thanked thousands of Americans for their interest in joining the department, but made it clear that it did not need "part-time creative contributors". Instead, it required "revolutionaries with ultra-high IQ and committed to small government change", requiring applicants to work more than 80 hours a week and focus on unpretentious cost reduction. Eligible applicants can submit resumes via private letter, and Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will personally review the top 1% of outstanding applicants.
