Elon Musk Targets US Agencies with DOGE and Reshapes Federal Workforce
Elon Musk is once again at the center of attention as he creatively employs tactics reminiscent of his controversial Twitter takeover. This time, his focus is on DOGE, which he is using to target US federal agencies. Over two million government employees received an email with a subject line that echoed his previous communications to Twitter staff. Experts express the opinion that the US government is in dire need of a digital makeover, something Musk seems determined to drive forward. Former Twitter employees are advising federal workers based on their experiences under Musk, highlighting the challenges and potential outcomes of such radical changes. As Musk eyes significant shifts in the federal workforce, some are left wondering about the implications of his approach. Meanwhile, opinions swirl around whether government buyouts, as suggested by Musk, could lead to billions in savings, despite the inherent challenges of reforming a complex system.
