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

Still, only X premium subscribers are currently able to send messages to the DOGE account.

Why are some of you attacking me for posting an article from the NY Post that I thought might be of interest?

You are a long time Freeper. Would have expected better.

OMG if you THINK Elon or Vivek NEED MONEY you are living under a rock, PLEEEASE!!!

Of course as the first TRILLIONAIRE Musk does not need money. I suspect it's a gate keeping function. One I don't agree with (lots of smart people out there who don't have an account with X) but kinda makes sense.

Just thought the article was worth discussing.

We’re going to make the government more efficient by creating a Department of Government Efficiency, then appointing two people to lead it.

Without remuneration, in case you missed that nugget.

Yeah, caught it. But been blown up enough for the few things I commented upon -- did not want to add more fuel to the fire being tossed on me.

The requirement to be an X subscriber is likely, as others have said, to defend against bots. The subscription fee is nominal for an individual, but becomes very expensive for bad actors trying to flood the DOGE account with thousands or millions of spam messages. This is just a smart move.

You know, that's part of what I love about Free Republic. You and a few others made an excellent point I had not considered.

Gee, we can learn from each other here!

I didn’t think your concern was unreasonable. We certainly live in a world where it seems everyone is angling to enrich themselves somehow, especially in the government, so you can’t be too careful. Sorry that you got jumped on. We’ve all gotten a little too quick to do that on here recently. Maybe we got so used to being cheated out of victory since 2020 that we just got a little cynical and short-tempered, and haven’t yet gotten used to the fact we now hold all the cards.

I have a sister in law who is a forensic accountant. But she lives in Southern California so I don’t know if she would take a job.

You hear the words "government and "department" and you become immediately triggered.

You offer no details or specifics.

Here, let me start.

From the article:

Your turn...

Please look up dogmatic in the dictionary, and then the picture beside it because the picture is you. It Elon Musk has already made a video explaining why he is charging because it’s the only way to keep out bots, so there.

Maybe we need to identify a FReeper who has a premium account on X & provide him/her with suggestions to send to the DOGE account.

I’d start with: return all federally held lands that don’t meet constitutional specifics back to the states & close all the agencies that manage those lands.

Authenticating yourself with an $8 payment via credit card keeps the bots out.

If $8 is to much for you, you’re not at the level they’re looking for.

Recommended Job seeking strategy.

“Hey Elon -if I don’t get a job then I am going to cancel my premium subscription”.
