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

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?
"High-IQ" aka boot lickers who agree with everything Musk says or does and are willing to do so for no compensation. And let's consider those who have the financial means "work" for free. The over privileged fundees who think they earned their wealth by hard work even those its all daddy's money... Rining any bells? Unpaid positions are exactly what we don't need to help with combat our economic woes anyways.
"high-IQ small-government revolutionaries"
No, "rich people," because nobody else can survive with no pay.
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 gonna be lots of applicants from the Intelligence Institute of Texas...
You can't just make a department. Sorry Leon, only maga morons believe that. The actual government and CONSTITUTION work differently than what you think...
Yeah, they would also need the other two institutions to pull this off. Oh wait, shit. Well the supreme court should be able to stop this. Oh wait, fuck.

I don't know about you all but as soon as Trump was elected I immediately resolved to cut my personal spending by as much as humanly possible. I've already canceled many of my subscription services and I have reduced my use of Amazon and other online purchases to absolute zero. I'm going to work on paying down every dime of debt I owe as soon as possible and save every penny. Because shit's going to get fucked in the next 4 years with these clowns in charge. It's gonna be a light Christmas in my household this year.
I highly recommend you all do the same. Don't be the last one holding the bag when the music stops and reality sets in. For example, look at the people in the UK after Brexit.
The UK was shit before Brexit, it was 14 years of austerity policies (read: cut health services, cut benefits, cut social housing, deregulation of services, legalisation of toxic dumping, I can go on...) by a right-wing "fiscally responsible" government who has left the current one with a sizeable financial black hole.... that has brought the country to its knees.
If we had Brexit but still maintained public services, there's a good chance the country would have been fine.

lol good luck picking candidates among highly intelligent incels and maga members
This is fucking hilarious! More proof, maybe the best proof, of how much of a dumbass Muskrat is.
“Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) began recruiting “high-IQ small-government revolutionaries” willing to work 80+ hours per week with no pay to help slash federal spending.
Future headline : “Department of Government Efficiency still completely without staff as those meeting the high requirements to take the job are smart enough to have zero interest in doing the job under those conditions"
Alternate future headline: "Department of Government Efficiency plagued by yet another scandal as its 45th employee is charged with fraud for attempting to personally gain financially from fraud they were perpetrating in the government".

Tragedy or comedy? Why not both?
