Elon advertises for cost-cutting help
Ready to hit the ground running on Day 1. [IsraelTimes] Along with foreign policy, Trump has put Musk and another wealthy entrepreneur, former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, in charge of a new "Department of Government Efficiency" tasked with overhauling the federal bureaucracy.The new initiative has raised questions about conflicts of interest given the extensive interactions between Musk’s businesses and the government. An account for the program has been created on X, formerly Twitter, where it asked applicants to apply through a direct message. "We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting," said a post on X, adding that "Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants."
