The commission said in November that applicants could send their résumés via DM on X. Elon Musk is tapping a mix of old and new faces to meet DOGE's staffing needs. Last month, President-elect Donald Trump announced that Musk would co-lead an advisory group called the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, alongside Vivek Ramaswamy. DOGE, Trump said in his announcement, would be tasked with slashing excess regulations and trimming wasteful government spending. The commission is set to conclude its work by July 4, 2026. On Wednesday, Bloomberg reported that The Boring Company CEO Steve Davis and former US chief technology officer Michael Kratsios were interviewing potential hires. DOGE has hired about 10 people thus far, the outlet reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Musk's commission is also looking to recruit software engineers, including those with experience in artificial intelligence, per Bloomberg. Much of the group's staffing is still unclear, including whether these are full-time roles, where they will be based, and how they will be paid. According to a Bloomberg, DOGE is currently operating out of a SpaceX-leased office located near the White House. In November, Musk said in an X post that DOGE employees will be involved in "tedious work" and draw zero compensation. Indeed, this will be tedious work, make lots of enemies & compensation is zero. What a great deal! 😂 https://t.co/16e7EKRS6i
