As a two-time startup founder and CEO, Chinmay Singh hadn’t updated his resume in ten years. But when the incoming administration of president-elect Donald Trump announced #DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency to be helmed by tech billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, Singh made a new one. On November 16, he sent his pitch, as instructed, to the official DOGE account on X, the Musk-owned social media site. “Messaging your resume to an X account is unusual, so I took an unusual approach, too,” said Singh. “I haven’t heard back yet.” It might be a while. The entrepreneur is one of several Silicon Valley founders and investors to be inspired by the organisation’s stated mission.
