Musk and Ramaswamy Propose Major Federal Workforce Reductions

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have outlined plans for a new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) aimed at reducing federal spending by cutting jobs across government agencies. The initiative, part of President-elect Donald Trump's government efficiency commission, would offer early retirement and severance to affected workers. DOGE would work with federal agencies to identify essential staff and advise on rescinding regulations, potentially leading to significant layoffs. The plan also suggests requiring federal employees to work in-office five days a week to encourage voluntary resignations.
