Elon Musk Chief Nerd's Elaborate $1,000 Troll Scam
Alfie De Neeve edited this page 1 day ago


Among Elon Musk's nerd army is trolling his new fans by charging $1,000 to read a manifesto about why he joined DOGE - only to discover the post is blank.

Gavin Kliger, 25, is one of six baby-faced young boys with little-to-no federal government experience handpicked by the 'First Buddy' to sow havoc in the civil service.

He was the one who sent out a company-wide email sent to staff members at USAID informing them not to come into the company's Washington DC headquarters on Monday.

Kliger sent out the direction from a USAID email address he was supplied with as part of top-level access to its systems, in addition to fellow DOGE nerd Luke Farritor.

While the personnel were kept home, DOGE gained access to the company's IT system, developing security, and classified materials, and coastalplainplants.org started dismantling it.

Just hours before he sent out the email, Kliger made a post on his Substack page entitled: 'Why DOGE. Why I quit a seven-figure wage to save America.'

Unlike the rest of his Substack, the post was 'subscriber just' with a $1,000-a-month cost - or $10,000 for an entire year - to access a single word of it.

However, those who wondered enough to spend the amazing charge discovered there wasn't even that - the post was entirely blank.

Kliger made a post on his Substack page entitled: 'Why DOGE. Why I gave up a seven-figure income to save America'. Despite a $1,000 paywall, it is entirely empty

'Poetically blank, please your life choices,' one talk about the post read.

Kliger furthered his fancy trolling with an unusual voicemail greeting that pointed anyone who called his registered telephone number to the post.

'I just composed a beautiful Substack on this, the Weekly Byte, if you simply go there, it's behind the paywall, however I believe it will address that question for you ... it's respectable,' he said.

The one-minute greeting was a lengthened version of the trick where the owner of the phone pretends to address, but it is actually taped.

Kliger first pretended he was driving through a tunnel and having difficulty hearing the call, then ultimately exclaiming, 'They said what? No, no, I do not believe that's right.'

The recorded message then made its pitch for the caller to read his Substack.

Despite its name, the Substack was not updated weekly, and only has two other posts - both of which are free to check out.

They are both strident defenses of Donald Trump's most controversial cabinet elections - Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth.

Gaetz was chosen for attorney-general however withdrew after a damning House report discovered he paid for sex with 17-year-old girl and numerous other misbehaviors.

Kliger's post titled 'The Curious Case of Matt Gaetz: wifidb.science How the Deep State Destroys Its Enemies' depicted Gaetz as an innocent victim who was 'framed'.

His other post, 'Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense: The Warrior Washington Fears', was an enthusiastic defense of the previous Fox News host's election filled with regular Trump-ally talking points.

Hegseth was narrowly verified by the Senate in spite of his history of alcohol abuse and claims of sexual assault and harassment.

Kliger's claim that he left a 'seven-figure task' to sign up with DOGE is also suspicious as his personal sector bbarlock.com work history didn't consist of such a role.

His latest job, according to his LinkedIn, was as a 'senior software engineer' at Databricks, a cloud computing company in San Francisco, from May 2020 to last month.

Salaries for that position at Databricks range from $102,000 to $308,000 a year according to Certainly, while Glassdoor puts the leading end at $321,000, consisting of benefit.

Kliger graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2020 and interned at Twitter in 2019 - well before Musk's takeover in 2022.

Musk last month selected him an unique consultant to the director for details technology at the Office of Personnel Management, where many other Musk lackeys were installed.

The Tesla owner has basically taken control of the OPM, together with the General Services Administration, through his leadership of DOGE.

Kliger's now-deleted Github from his time at Berkeley claims he is an Eagle Scout, National Merit Scholar, National AP Scholar, a black belt very first dan in Taekwondo, and an accomplished pianist.

'Whether that indicates establishing software application, researching system release, or operating in some other sphere, I know that I will contribute insight and imagination towards fulfilling the obstacles I deal with.

'In my spare time, I delight in playing the piano and clarinet and participating in music shows at Berkeley. Among my preferred activities is playing online blitz chess.'

Who are Musk's other geeks?

WIRED mentioned sources declaring Coristine has actually been conducting calls with staff in the department and making them 'review code they had written and justify their jobs.'

Employees were presumably puzzled by his inclusion in the meetings, and later on revealed issues that they were not effectively informed on his identity or role, [users.atw.hu](http://users.atw.hu/samp-info-forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=8ebd6a0501a4563907ac441ecb314186&action=profile
