One of Elon Musk's geek army is trolling his new fans by charging $1,000 to check out a manifesto about why he joined DOGE - only to discover the post is blank.

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

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

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

While the staff were kept home, DOGE gained access to the firm's IT system, developing security, and classified materials, and began dismantling it.

Just hours before he sent out 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 '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 were curious enough to spend the extraordinary fee found there wasn't even that - the post was completely blank.

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

'Poetically blank, please reevaluate your life choices,' one comment on the post read.

Kliger enhanced his elaborate trolling with a strange voicemail welcoming that pointed anyone who called his registered contact number to the post.

'I simply wrote a beautiful Substack on this, the Weekly Byte, if you simply go there, it lags the paywall, but I believe it will answer that question for you ... it's respectable,' he said.

The one-minute welcoming was an extended version of the prank where the owner of the phone pretends to address, however it is really 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 don't believe 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 just has 2 other posts - both of which are complimentary to read.

They are both strident defenses of Donald Trump's most controversial cabinet nominations - 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 lady and many other misconducts.

Kliger's post titled 'The Curious Case of Matt Gaetz: 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 a passionate defense of the previous Fox News host's nomination filled with regular Trump-ally talking points.

The Tesla owner has basically taken over the OPM, along 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.

'I wish to do work that will affect the future,' it checked out.

'Whether that implies establishing software, looking into system implementation, or working in some other sphere, I understand that I will contribute insight and imagination towards meeting the obstacles I face.

'In my extra time, I take pleasure in playing the piano and clarinet and going to music shows at Berkeley. Among my preferred pastimes is playing online blitz chess.'
