An unpaid group of billionaires, tech executives and some disciples of Peter Thiel, a powerful Republican donor, are preparing to take up unofficial positions in the U.S. government in the name of cost-cutting.

The so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” intends to deploy unpaid executives to hang out in federal agencies. What could possibly go wrong?

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy's Department of Government Efficiency says it's now hiring. Here's how to apply.

Those who aren't deployed will be stationed at the US Digital Service, a White House branch that provides IT consulting services to federal agencies.
