Noticeably, solely X customers with a paid subscription are in a position to make use of the message characteristic required to use.
In December, the committee made an identical publish on the lookout for “full-time salaried HR, IT, and Finance positions.”
However to work alongside felon-elect Donald Trump’s tech sugar daddies, you have to be keen to say goodbye to any work-life stability—and probably an earnings.

From his personal X account, Musk wrote that the compensation can be “zero.” It’s unclear if the extraordinarily unserious billionaire was joking.
Nevertheless, as Ramaswamy posted on X in December, they may have hassle discovering their revolutionaries on U.S. soil, because the tech mogul expressed that People exude “mediocrity” and laziness.
In fact, the pro-immigration tech billionaires—who’ve been preventing with their fellow MAGA cultists over H-1B visas—may lean on their beloved visa program to fill a number of the calls for of their new division.
Every day Kos contacted Trump’s transition group to ask if DOGE would rent overseas H-1B visa holders however didn’t obtain a response.
The committee, which isn’t government-appointed, touted receiving “thousands” of purposes again in November, previous to the MAGA civil battle. However it’s unclear if their infighting has impacted hiring efforts.

The Indian-American tech bro made headlines Monday for promoting his tech startup, Loom, for $975 million. Hiremath labored for DOGE for 4 weeks earlier than deciding to ditch his function for a one-way ticket to Hawaii.
Except for seemingly having a excessive turnover charge, the toothless committee is gearing up for its pledged assault towards a number of federal companies.

However what it does have is the ear of the incoming president and a committee stuffed with kooks and soulless tech billionaires.
