No high-iq individual will work 2 weeks per week with no pay in a society that requires money to live.

This dipshit thinks he can save the country 2 trillion dollars by firing government workers.

Even if he fired every single government position in the entire country, he couldn't make up 2 fucking trillion dollars out of that. The budget for payroll is, what? Like 15% of the total spending?

feels like im playing plague inc. and these are all joke news

So... if I apply for a super high IQ job that's unpaid, does that prove I'm under qualified?

So a billionaire wants people to work 80 hour weeks for nothing. People tell him to fuck right off. As in, find a cliff and keep walking.

Ok, get this. You elect politicians to "help slash federal spending".

What the hell is Musk even doing and why is he outsourcing this job to unpaid idiots, when politicians already get paid to do this?

Okay, I'll do a few suggestions for free:

• Stop subsidizing companies. All of them.
• Tax the rich to boost the federal income.
• Legalize all immigrants so they can be tax paying citizens.
• Crack down on employers using illegal underpaid illegal immigrants.
• Provide universal health care. Sick people don't work.
• Cut down on police force spending.
• Cut down on car infrastructure spending.
• Cut down "defense" spending in artificial oil wars.
• Help Ukraine to defeat Russia, so Russia will have to surrender and disarm their nukes, so that USA can also cut down on cost for maintenance of nukes.
• Expand renewable energy. It's free energy yo, and it creates jobs for tax paying citizens.
• Stop mining fossil fuels. It will cost more to clean that shit up than is earned.

Smart people don't work for the bad guys for free Jack.

Win a grift by pretending you are an idiot

Your opponent is Elon Musk

Can this department kick it off by eliminating itself, since it’s a wish.com version of https://www.gao.gov/

Just to make sure I understand. Musk is going to run an orgination who will advise the federal government to cut regulations that are in the way of him making more money. And this is in no way a conflict of interest.

Man that leopards are gonna get so fat on conservative faces.

do "high-IQ" individuals even exist on the republican isle? why would a lefty want to get involved in this shit, especially unpaid? what idiot would accept unpaid labour under a multi-billionaire?

Good grief. It's like he asked ChatGPT "how do I hire people suffering from the Dunning-Kruger Effect?"

Dear meme-lords: I need something with much more facepalm than the Picard one. A "super facepalm" if you will. Thank you.

At least they're too cheap and lazy to properly push their fascist takeover.

They are calling it DOGE? 🙄🙄🙄

Much like unpaid internships, this is also a method to prevent anyone who is not independently wealthy from applying, so they can fill the department with the same people already benefiting from the current system and allow them to design one that benefits them even further.

No one that this department is ostensibly built to serve can afford to work on it, so who is it really (clearly) for?

The US are just a bad parody of themselves at this point.

Fun idea: Flood their contact addresses with fake applications and fake credentials like certificates with high scores on made-up IQ tests or Mensa membership cards.

"high-IQ small-government revolutionaries"

No, "rich people," because nobody else can survive with no pay.

America's saving grace may in fact be that the fascists are too stupid and lazy to do the work required to dismantle the federal government and cause mass human suffering.

There are oxymorons and then there is musk, the oxyless moron

I divide my officers into four classes; the clever, the lazy, the industrious, and the stupid. Each officer possesses at least two of these qualities. Those who are clever and industrious are fitted for the highest staff appointments. Use can be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy however is for the very highest command; he has the temperament and nerves to deal with all situations. But whoever is stupid and industrious is a menace and must be removed immediately!

They will make their money by fleecing the government of course.

Department of Government Efficiency is the name of the department that ends up involved in creating Soylent green or some crazy human organ harvesting thing.

This sets off all sorts of red flags that bother the shit out of me. Like I'll take boring dystopia over human slaughterhouses TYVM

There are only two types of "Super High-IQ" people who will go for an unpaid job working in politics for the likes of Musk:

• Very naive young things, hence very inexperienced and who are going to do all mistakes in the book and then some for the next couple of years as they learn the ropes. By the time they know enough about the job they'll be burned out from working for a guy like Musk not to mention knowing enough to know they're better of elsewhere.
• Grifters looking for making maximum money from being in politics. Since they're not getting paid, that means corruption, lots and lots of corruption.

Also, even amongst the "very naive young things", in my own personal experience, the high intelligent types with the personality to be real believers of far right stuff, are at most above average intelligence but below genius level IQ (which is 120) and hence not really "super high"-IQ (which would more 160+) - I once worked with a guy like that who thought himself very intelligent and in his new job ended up working in an office with two genious level colleagues and he was very entertaining because of his "buttons" were so obvious and he was so easy to give the run around.

Super-high IQ people are often the very opposite of street smart, but one thing they aren't is stupid and at most fall into the first part of the saying "you can deceive most people some of the time, or some people all of the time, but you can't deceive most people all of the time" - they can be swindled but they'll figure it out faster than most.

He really believes it’s real.
