Musk and Lawmakers Push for Federal Overhaul and Office Return

TL;DR Summary
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson supports Elon Musk's plan to mandate US federal employees return to the office if Donald Trump returns to the White House. A report by Senator Joni Ernst claims only 6% of federal workers are in the office full-time, with some allegedly misusing work hours. Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, tasked with improving government efficiency, advocate for a full return to office, predicting it will lead to voluntary resignations. This push aligns with similar moves by companies like Amazon and Dell, and the Biden administration's efforts to increase in-person work.
