Hey Musk, so now you've become another Deep State money grubbing jerk? I'm disappointed.

???

You mean by keeping the bots out?

We’ve noted your disappointment, and, will file it, appropriately.

Government Efficiency? Sounds oxymoronic.

“I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is “needed” before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents’ “interests,” I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can.” ― Barry Goldwater

I am starting to think this will be as successful as the Grace Commission.

I for one, welcome the imminent takeover of government agencies by efficient non-partisan artificial intelligence.

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.

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.

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”.

>> Deep State money grubbing jerk

Because job application fees never existed before...

Seems like you’re making an opportunistic jab at Musk.

You DO NOT have to be a premium subscriber. You just have to be subscribed to the DOGE feed as a follower. I do not pay anything for X, I am a regular non-premium user and as soon as I clicked subscribe on the feed, the little message envelope appeared.

I actually did send in my resume, because, what have I got to lose? Tracking down government waste would be an excellent use of my time.

It does have to be in image format - .jpg or .png, etc. Also, the first try was blocked until I proved I was human, but the second one showed up as a sent message right away.

Love,

Are you implying that Musk is being paid for this DOGE effort? Neither Elon nor Vivek is being paid; they’re volunteers.

Respctfully submitted: Don't be. He is simply combining his desire for smaller, more conservative/libertarian governance with his innate skill in generating cash flow. I applaud his instincts.
