Elon Musk’s Surprising Job Offer to Dogecoin’s Billy Markus
- Elon Musk offers Dogecoin founder Billy Markus a job at the new DOGE agency after a post.
- Billy Markus rejects Musk’s offer, preferring personal projects, but may reconsider later.
- The Dogecoin community is divided on Markus’ decision, with some urging him to take the job.
A recent conversation between Tesla CEO Elon Musk and the founder of Dogecoin, Billy Markus, has caused quite a stir in the community. Musk offered Markus a job at the newly established DOGE shortly after a workers’ union complained that the agency had violated federal employment laws.
The job offer came after Markus posted a status on X complaining about unemployment. Musk quickly replied to his post and invited him to work at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk said that this partnership would be perfect for both of them.
Ramaswamy’s Exit Opens Door
The move comes after Vivek Ramaswamy stepped down as co-head of DOGE in recent weeks. The cause of Ramaswamy’s departure is unknown to this date. However, some opinion makers think it is due to his views on American culture on X rant. With Ramaswamy gone, the high-profile position became vacant, and Musk turned to Markus.
Markus, a man with a wicked sense of humor, particularly sarcasm, didn’t seem keen on the job. He agreed that the position would be “a pretty full cycle,” but he would rather devote his spare time to his initiatives. But Markus did not dismiss the idea, saying he would take six months to consider it.

Some Dogecoin enthusiasts applauded the news, while others were skeptical. Some users pressed Markus to accept the job, saying he should do it for ‘fun.’ Another person commented that maybe Markus was destined to join DOGE.
Supporters Defend Markus’ Decision
On the other hand, some community members came to Markus’s defense upon his refusal. They said that the position at DOGE was sensitive, and Markus might not be the right man for the job. Whether he should take the offer created a lot of controversy within the community, with some people thinking it was a great opportunity while others wondered why he should.
Although the offer has gained much attention, it is not the first time Musk has shown love for Dogecoin. Although Musk does not admit to having a serious relationship with the coin, his interest in the meme cryptocurrency is obvious. This offer to Markus has raised eyebrows about the future of DOGE and its relationship with Musk.
