Elon Musk and Silicon Valley Leaders Rally Around 'DOGE' to Challenge Washington

Elon Musk, appointed to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency, has proposed a full return-to-office (RTO) mandate for federal workers, suggesting it could lead to voluntary job cuts. This aligns with some corporate strategies where RTO policies are seen as a way to reduce staff without layoffs. The federal government, the largest U.S. employer, currently allows agencies to set their own workplace policies, with only a small percentage of employees working fully remotely. It's uncertain if Musk's RTO plan will be implemented.
