One of Elon Musk's nerd army is trolling his brand-new fans by charging $1,000 to read a manifesto about why he signed up with DOGE - only to find the post is blank.

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

He was the one who sent a company-wide email sent to workers at USAID informing them not to come into the agency's Washington DC head office on Monday.

Kliger sent out the instruction from a USAID email address he was offered with as part of high-level access to its systems, together with fellow DOGE nerd Luke Farritor.

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

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

Unlike the rest of his Substack, the post was 'customer 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 extraordinary cost found there wasn't even that - the post was entirely blank.

Kliger made a post on his Substack page entitled: 'Why DOGE. Why I quit a seven-figure wage to conserve America'. Despite a $1,000 paywall, it is totally empty

'Poetically blank, please reassess your life options,' one discuss the post read.

Kliger enhanced his elaborate trolling with an unusual voicemail welcoming that pointed anyone who called his authorized telephone number to the post.

'I just wrote a lovely Substack on this, the Weekly Byte, if you simply go there, it lags the paywall, but I believe it will address that question for you ... it's quite excellent,' he said.

The one-minute welcoming was an extended variation of the trick where the owner of the phone pretends to address, but it is in fact taped.

Kliger initially pretended he was driving through a tunnel and pediascape.science having trouble hearing the call, then eventually exclaiming, 'They said what? No, no, I do not think that's right.'

The tape-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 read.

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

Gaetz was nominated for attorney-general but withdrew after a damning House report discovered he paid for sex with 17-year-old woman and various other misconducts.

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

His other post, 'Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense: The Warrior Washington Fears', was a passionate defense of the former Fox News host's nomination filled with frequent Trump-ally talking points.

Hegseth was directly validated by the Senate in spite of his history of alcoholic abuse and claims of sexual attack and harassment.

Kliger's claim that he left a 'seven-figure job' to sign up with DOGE is likewise suspicious as his economic sector work history didn't include such a function.

His most current job, according to his LinkedIn, was as a 'senior software application 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, including perk.

Kliger was the one who sent out a company-wide email sent out to employees at USAID informing them not to come into the firm's Washington DC headquarters on Monday

The Berkeley graduate reportedly advised all workers at the company not to go back to Washington headquarters on Monday

Kliger finished 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 adviser to the director for details innovation at the Office of Personnel Management, where various other Musk lackeys were set up.

The Tesla owner has basically taken control of the OPM, together with the General Services Administration, through his management 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 first dan in Taekwondo, and an accomplished pianist.

'I desire to do work that will influence the future,' it read.

'Whether that implies developing software, researching system deployment, or operating in some other sphere, I understand that I will contribute insight and creativity towards satisfying the difficulties I deal with.

'In my extra time, I take pleasure in playing the piano and clarinet and going to music performances at Berkeley. One of my favorite leisure activities is playing online blitz chess.'

Kliger's father, Larry Kliger, is president of Lawrence Allen & Associates, a commercial property company.

" We reside in an age where simpleness rules supreme, where 30-second TikToks and 280-character tweets pertain to specify our identities,' he said.
