Elon Musk has launched the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), seeking exceptional individuals to join the team. Candidates should possess an IQ in the top 1% and be willing to work more than 80 hours per week on cost-cutting measures.
Musk’s reputation for demanding work expectations is evident in his previous companies, Tesla and Twitter. At Tesla, he pushed for “super hardcore” work, and at Twitter, he demanded “long hours at high intensity.”
This aggressive approach has led to staff departures at Twitter, but Musk remains committed to it at DOGE. He plans to create a leaderboard showcasing government spending he deems “insanely dumb” to promote transparency and public feedback.
Marketing experts believe the leaderboard could attract attention, while others argue it is biased as it relies on Musk’s definition of “waste.” The Trump-Vance transition team praised Musk’s contributions, highlighting his innovative and efficient systems.
