Among Elon Musk's nerd army is trolling his new fans by charging $1,000 to check out a manifesto about why he signed up with DOGE - just to find the post is blank.

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

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

Kliger sent 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 firm's IT system, constructing security, and classified materials, and began dismantling it.

Just hours before he sent 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 only' with a $1,000-a-month cost - or $10,000 for a whole 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 completely blank.

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

Kliger advanced his sophisticated trolling with a bizarre voicemail welcoming that pointed anybody who called his authorized telephone number to the post.

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

The one-minute greeting was an elongated version of the trick where the owner of the phone pretends to answer, but it is actually tape-recorded.

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 think that's right.'

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

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