Musk has set up an account for his nonexistent department, fraudulently labeled "government" via a gray checkmark

and asking people to submit resumes if they're "super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting."

But they can't submit resumes except via DM, which in this case requires subscribing to X - paying Musk. (You can DM only those who follow you, or who DM'd you first, if you don't subscribe.)

We are very grateful to the thousands of Americans who have expressed interest in helping us at DOGE. We don’t need more part-time idea generators. We need super high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting. If that’s you, DM this account with your CV. Elon & Vivek will review the top 1% of applicants.

This account has been given a grey checkmark, verifying it as an official government account.

It also only accepts resumes be DM's, which are solely open to verified X users who pay Elon Musk.

This level of corruption is staggering.

Being that this is not an official government agency, this would also seem to be a fraudulent impersonation violating FTC rules:
